Nonwoven fabric
Nonwoven fabric or
non-woven fabric is a
fabric-like material made from staple fibre (short) and long fibres (continuous long), bonded together by chemical, mechanical, heat or solvent treatment. The term is used in the
textile manufacturing industry to denote fabrics, such as
felt, which are neither
woven nor
knitted. Some non-woven materials lack sufficient strength unless densified or reinforced by a backing. In recent years, non-wovens have become an alternative to
polyurethane foam.
