A non-woven textile fabric comprising a plurality of warp yarns and a plurality of fill yarns, said yarns being fibrous or filament yarns, preferably arranged in an oriented pattern and bonded together at their crossing points by an adhesive composition comprising the combination of a vinyl acetate polymer and a styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer. The adhesive composition is applied to the yarns or the fabric preferably as an aqueous emulsion, and the bond is effected by drying or subjecting the fabric to heat. |
