| abstract |
The object of the invention consists of fibers and / or fabrics, particularly nonwovens, which contain up to a proportion of 15% by weight one or more water-soluble salts. This or these salt (s), in addition, must have a melting or decomposition point markedly higher than that of fibers or fabrics, must not alter the mechanical properties of the product in the absence of water and be neutral or beneficial with regard to plants and soil organisms. They are incorporated during the manufacture of the fibers or fabrics.n n n When the products come into contact with water, the salts dissolve and create cavities, thus opening the way for the action of bacteria and other microorganisms and / or causing degradation into smaller fragments more suitable for biodegradation. Become waste after use, these products degrade in landfills or soil while respecting the environment. |
