Nonwoven fabrics were made from jute broadloom caddis (raw and bleached), stapled raw jute, woollenized jute, viscose rayon, and their blends on a Callaghan nonwoven fabric machine, employing an air-laying technique of ran domization of fibers, followed by impregnation with bonding agent and curing. The properties of these fabrics were also measured so that their suitability for various uses could be examined.
