A synthetic leather has excellent flame retardance and an article covered with the synthetic. The synthetic leather includes a fiber base material layer formed of a non-woven fabric sheet, wherein the non-woven fabric sheet includes at least one flameproof layer formed of a web including a non-melting fiber A having a high-temperature shrinkage rate of 3% or less and a thermal conductivity, conforming to ISO22007-3 (2008), of 0.060 W/m.Math.K or less and is formed by bonding the flameproof layer to a scrim layer including a carbonized heat-resistant fiber B having an LOI value, conforming to JIS K 7201-2 (2007), of 25 or more, and a resin layer is laminated on a surface of the scrim layer, and a covered article covered with the synthetic leather.

A ballistic material is made from spunlace nonwoven fibers mechanically entangled into a woven ballistic fabric. The spunlace nonwoven may comprise low denier fibers providing for a highly dense ballistic product.

Aspects herein are directed to a recyclable, asymmetrical-faced composite nonwoven textile suitable for use in apparel and other articles and methods of making the same. In example aspects, the asymmetrical-faced composite nonwoven textile includes a first face formed, at least in part from a first entangled web of fibers and an opposite second face formed, at least in part from a second entangled web of fibers. When incorporated into an article of apparel, the first face forms an outer-facing surface of the article of apparel, and the second face forms an inner-facing surface of the article of apparel. The first face includes features making it suitable to form the outer-facing surface such as resistance to abrasion, and the second face includes features making it suitable to form an inner-facing surface such as a soft hand.

Aspects herein are directed to a composite nonwoven textile suitable for use in apparel and other articles that are resistant to pilling. The composite nonwoven textile may be finished by one or more of applying a chemical binder to a first face of the composite nonwoven textile and forming thermal bonding sites. The chemical binder and the thermal bonding sites help to secure fiber terminal ends and minimize the formation of pills.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a nonwoven textile that is sustainable and that sustainably manufactured. The subject matter may be sustainable in one or more respects. For example, the nonwoven textile may be manufactured from recycled materials. In other instances, the nonwoven textile is itself recyclable to produce additional or subsequent nonwoven articles. In addition, the manufacturing processes used to make the nonwoven textile may consume less energy than other manufacturing processes.
