Definition
Nonwovens can be broken down into two major sectors: disposable and durable. Disposable nonwovens are usually used for a relatively short period of time or in a single use. Most disposable nonwovens are used in consumer products, like diapers, feminine hygiene and adult incontinence products and wipes. Durable nonwovens usually have extended use lives or can be used multiple times. Filters, automotive carpet, mattress fabrics, road underlay and weed control fabric are just a few of the durable nonwoven uses.
