Abstract:
A method and article for protecting a container that contains a fluid. The method includes the steps of: (a) providing a container that holds a fluid and that has first and second ends, a side, and a length; (b) providing a conformable nonwoven web that contains at least 5 weight percent microfibers based on the weight of fibrous material in the nonwoven web, the conformable nonwoven web having a length in at least one dimension that is substantially greater than the length of the container; and (c) wrapping the conformable nonwoven web at least one full turn about the container such that (i) the container forms an axis about which the web is wrapped and (ii) first and second portions of the nonwoven web project axially from the first and second ends of the container. The article includes a conformable sleeve having a tubular body that has an opening sized to permit a container to enter the interior of the conformable sleeve. A nonwoven web containing microfibers is employed in the tubular body of the sleeve to protect the container and sorb fluid which would leak from the container in the event of a failure.
