Definitions

• the invention relates to a duster for single use, which consists of a section of a dry natural fiber structure impregnated with wax.
• DE-UM 85 30 439 discloses a mesh filter cleaning fleece which consists of a polyester fleece which is spunlaced and which is impregnated with a wax of medium hardness. Although this known cleaning fleece shows good mechanical strength and abrasion resistance, it cannot be completely rotten due to the materials used for its production and is therefore not very unfriendly.
• the invention has for its object to provide a duster of the type described, which is inexpensive to produce, on the other hand with good mechanical strength and abrasion resistance and the ability to good dust absorption during disposal completely biodegradable and rotten.
• the natural fiber structure from which the duster is made is a light to white colored, soft, open-pored paper made from bulky cellulose material, the filler content of which is less than 10%, that the wax is biological is degradable and has a hardness that prevents shearing off the natural fiber structure.
• Fluf pulp pulp is preferably used for the paper, which is characterized by good absorbency and complete biodegradability.
• the paper preferably has a basis weight of 35 and 60 g / m 2 .
• the low filler content of only up to 10% makes it possible for the duster according to the invention to be open-pored and to have a relatively low weight, thereby hardly burdening the vicinity after being thrown away.
• Usual pastel colors are to be described as "light to white", which can be seen the dirt picked up.
• the paper is impregnated with wax, whereby a quantity of wax of 2.5 to 50 g wax per 2 paper has proven to be sufficient to give the duster a good dust-adhesion ability.
• degradable waxes of plant or animal origin are used for the impregnation of the paper used for the dusters.
• Carnauba wax or beeswax are suitable here.
• synthetic or chemically modified waxes can also be used, such as oxidized polyethylene or hydrogenated jojoba oil.
• the waxes used should have a melting point which is between about 60.degree. C. to 85.degree. C. in order to ensure that the hardness prevents the natural fiber structure from shearing off.
• Dipping, spraying with heated liquid wax or settling of the wax from an aqueous emulsion can be used as the impregnation method.
• the duster can be equipped with bactericides, pesticides and / or fungicides.
• the application of fragrances can also be provided.
• the duster according to the invention can also be printed or colored. Here, however, a light color should be maintained in order to be able to indicate to the user of the duster the degree of dust saturation due to corresponding contamination.
• duster according to the invention is exceptionally suitable for solving the new problem.
• the figure shows a duster 1 made of paper with a fine wax impregnation 2.
• the duster 1 feels like a soft paper towel with a slightly waxy surface. It is open-pored and has areas of small, bulky "nodes" 3. Dust is bound and forms a clearly dark area after a certain period of use, which signals to the user that the duster has been used up.
