Point-bonding and water-jet-softening of a sheet of flash-spun polyethylene plexifilamentary film-fibril strands provide a nonwoven fabric that is particularly suited for dyeing and use in disposable protective garments. Garments made with the nonwoven fabric are comfortable and provide a good protection against particulate matter, such as air-borne asbestos particles.

Why it's free to use
- Filed October 18, 1989 and granted September 14, 1999. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended October 18, 2009.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by October 18, 2011.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
