Test procedures and physical properties are given for cotton, nylon garnett, asbestos, and glass fiber thermoplastic fiber-bonded fabrics. A range of thicknesses for each blend and weight is used to demonstrate a wide variety of fibrous constructions. The tensile strength, air perme ability, and water absorption characteristics of four fiber-bonded fabrics are discussed. It is indicated that any textile fiber can be fabricated by this process.
