nonwoven
This term is primarily used in industrial, textile, and medical contexts to describe materials like felt or interfacing. It carries a technical register, distinguishing these materials from traditional textiles that rely on an interlaced warp and weft structure.
When used as a noun, it refers to the material itself. While it can be pluralized in a commercial or manufacturing context to describe different types of nonwoven fabrics, it is frequently treated as a mass noun when referring to the substance in general.
