Abstract:
A surface element comprising:an air-permeable adsorber carrier which is in the form of a surface element and having an adsorbent action, the adsorber carrier having a top surface for facing toward a moisture source and a bottom surface; andan absorbent, moisture-storing fleece layer which is connected in areal relationship to the bottom surface of the adsorber carrier by needling to form an air-permeable composite material, the needling extending from the bottom surface of the adsorber carrier through the top surface of the adsorber carrier and forming burrs on the top surface for transporting moisture between the top surface of the adsorber carrier and the moisture-storing fleece layer,wherein the adsorber carrier is a material selected from the group consisting of open-pore foam materials, fleece materials, textile materials, and activated carbon fiber materials.
