non-woven
Bonded, not loomed
Non-woven describes fabrics made by bonding fibers together through heat, chemicals, or mechanical processes rather than by weaving or knitting.
The result is a sheet of material without the interlaced thread structure of traditional textiles: non-woven surgical masks, non-woven shopping bags.
Common in disposable products where cost matters more than durability.
