<p>Process for forming a fiber-reinforced, heat-fusible polymeric composite wherein a dilute aqueous slurry of reinforcing fibers and solid heat-fusible polymeric particles are deposited on a foraminous support, and the resulting mat de-watered and heat-fused. The improvement in forming an unfused mat of improved integrity and for improving the processability of the dilute aqueous slurry comprises incorporating into the aqueous slurry a stabilizing amount of pulp fibers characterized as being less than about 10 mm in length, being flexible, and having broomed ends (e.g. micro-fibrillar).</p> |
