Introduction
Nonwoven Fabric is a fabric-like material made from long fibers, 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.
Nonwoven materials typically lack strength unless densified or reinforced by a backing.
It may also having other names such as Shaped Fabrics (or) Yarn free
Fabrics
Non-Woven structure
Definition
Nonwoven stuffs are largely described as piece or web structures,
bonded simultaneously by entangling fibre or filaments mechanically, thermally
or chemically.

Nonwoven Geotextiles are thicker and made either from short and
continuous filaments, carded or laid in even patterns and then mechanically
(needle punched) or thermally bonded.
Nonwoven applications in
CONSTRUCTION
- Sound insulation
- Anti-radiation-type construction textiles will be very important in the future.
- Foil, a special film, combined with materials such as foam thermal insulation products
- Resistance to hydrolysis with water, which is important in areas where contact is
inevitable PU-ether-based chemical applied to the use of textiles.
- Breathable, wind-and rain-proof light houses.
