Abstract
A bristled article is integrally formed in an essentially one step low pressure process from a sheet of thermoformable material between a top and bottom mold surface. The bottom mold surface is smooth and the top mold surface is channeled, and the sheet, in a fused state, is pulled between the mold plates and while bonded thereto by hot tack adhesion, and bristles form at the points of contact with the top mold surface. The bristled articles are useful as brush devices, artificial turf, packaging material and the like.
