Moldable Nonwoven Having High Strength To Weight Ratio For Structural Components and Method of Construction Thereof

摘要

A nonwoven, moldable material and method of construction thereof is provided. The nonwoven material includes at least one nonwoven mat formed from blended and bonded natural cellulosic fibers and Polypropylene containing Maleic Anhydride grafted Polypropylene fibers. A scrim layer is at least partially melted and diffused into the nonwoven mat to form an alloy region containing material of both the nonwoven mat and the scrim layer, which provides the nonwoven, moldable material having a density between about 300-1200 gsm with a flexural strength across machine direction of about 76N.
