'''Nonwoven''' textiles are those which are neither woven nor knit, for example felt. General use hyphenates the word, but industrial use spells it as one word. Non-wovens are typically not strong (unless reinforced by a backing or densified). In the recent years non-woven material has become an alternative to polyurethane foam. <br>'''Non-woven''' fabric is typically manufactured by putting small fibers together in the form of a sheet(web) and then binding them either mechanically (as in the case of felt, by interlocking them with serrated needles such that the inter-fiber friction results in a stronger fabric), with an adhesive, or thermally ({by applying binder(in the form of powder, paste, or polymer melt) and melting the binder onto the web by increasing temperature)}.

====[[Application]]====Non-woven materials are used in numerous applications, including:===Hygiene===* Baby diapers* Feminine hygiene* Adult incontinence products* Wipes* Bandages and wound dressings===Medical===* Isolation gowns* Surgical gowns* Surgical drapes and covers* Surgical scrub suits* Caps===Technical===* Roll roofing and shingle reinforcement* Insulation backing* Battery electrode separators* Vinyl flooring reinforcement* Plastic surface reinforcement (veils)* Wall coverings* Honeycomb structural components* Ceiling tile facings* Circuit board reinforcement* Electrical insulation===Filter (chemistry)|Filters===* Gasoline, oil and air - including HEPA filtration* Water, coffee, tea bag===Geotextiles===* Soil stabilizers and roadway underlayment* Agriculture mulch* Pond and canal water barriers* Sand infiltration barrier for drainage tile===Other===* Carpet backing, primary and secondary* Composites** Marine sail laminates** Tablecover laminates* Backing/stabilizer for machine embroidery* Thermal insulation|insulation (fiberglass quilting|batting)* Pillows, cushions, and upholstery padding* Batting in quilts or comforters* Consumer and medical face masks* Tarps, tenting and transportation (lumber, steel) wrapping* Disposable clothing (foot coverings, coveralls)

*Based on title, abstract and claims for some major companies in this field.The graph is base based on the patents of Kimberly-Clark Corp, Johnson & Johnson, Procter & Gamble, and Plytex Playtex from 1836 to 2006.
