ABSTRACT:
A non-woven, non-tufted skeletal mass of fibrous members in a mat-like structure for reducing liquid splash and/or spray in a region likely to be subjected to liquid impact is provided. The mat-like structure contains 75-98 percent by volume of voids and is particularly useful on motor vehicles as a material for mud flaps, mud guard lining, and wheel valances. The mat-like structure may be provided with a gutter or deflector so that water draining from the skeletal structure is deflected to one side. The mat-like structure may be made by needle-puching a fibrous web and the fibrous members may randomly be bonded to each other by use of an adhesive or welds.
