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.

• Nonwovens are designed to offer particular
  characteristics, suitable for certain use. Their
  various properties are combined together in order
  to create the required functionalities.
• The modern nonwoven technologies are permits to
  simulate required structures and properties as
  per market need. Some of the commercially
  available products are listed below

Agriculture Horticulture
Nonwovens are used effectively for optimizing the
productivity of crops, gardens and
greenhouses. In horticultural applications,
nonwovens protect the plants against temperature
extremes by day and by night, thus creating the
foundation for earlier harvests with excellent
results.

GEO TEXTILES
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.

Benefits of using Nonwoven in
GeoTextiles

• Cheap and easy to manufacture.
• Superior chemical resistance in even the
• aggressive environment application.
• Highly porous structure
• Staple fibers needle punched together to form
  fabric capable of withstanding construction
  installation stresses.

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.
