Nonwoven fabric is a type of material created by bonding fibers together without the use of weaving or knitting processes. These fabrics are typically produced using mechanical, chemical, or thermal methods. Common production techniques include spunbond, meltblown, needle punch, and airlaid. Spunbond binds fibers with hot needles, while meltblown transforms molten polymers into fine fibers. Needle punch uses mechanical needles to bond fibers, and in the airlaid method, fibers are freely distributed by air currents. These production processes make the fabric lightweight, durable, and flexible.

Nonwoven fabrics are preferred in various sectors due to their wide range of applications. In the medical sector, they are used in surgical drapes, masks, and hygiene products; in the automotive industry, for interior parts and filters; and in construction, for ground covers and insulation materials. Additionally, due to their eco-friendly nature, they offer recyclable options and are biodegradable. Nonwoven fabrics provide long-lasting and efficient use with their durability, lightweight properties, and various characteristics.
