The properties of nonwoven fabrics depend greatly on the choice of fibers, production technology, and bonding process used. This leads to a wide range in properties, from crisp to soft fabrics that can be either durable or disposable. The bonding agents are important as they bind the fibers together firmly to give the nonwoven fabric its wear properties. Nonwoven fabrics are defined as fabrics made from a combination of fibers and bonding agents.
