ABSTRACT:
Conformable surface finishing articles and a method for the manufacture of such articles are provided. The articles comprise a nonwoven three dimensional lofty web of fibers, a stretch resistant porous reinforcing fabric having first and second major surfaces with the first major surface disposed along a major surface of the web, and a layer comprising a polymer coated over and coextensive with the second major surface of the reinforcing fabric and having a flexible low friction exposed surface and portions extending through the reinforcing fabric encapsulating fibers along the major surface of the web. The method comprises positioning a stretch resistant porous reinforcing fabric adjacent a major surface of a nonwoven three dimensional lofty web of fibers, applying a coatable composition so that a portion of the composition extends through the fabric to contact and encapsulate fibers along the major surface of the web while also forming a substantially smooth exposed surface coated over and coextensive with the fabric, and hardening the composition.
