Abstract

Disclosed is an elongate, nonwoven flexible sheet structure and a method for its manufacture. The sheet structure consists essentially of a commingled mixture of about 45 to about 70% by weight short fibers of aromatic polyamide and about 30 to about 55% by weight fibrids of poly(meta-phenylene isophthalamide). The sheet structure has an interior thickness remote from the edges of between about 75 and about 150 microns with a thickened area along and adjacent each of the side edges having a maximum thickness which is at least about 5% greater in average thickness than the interior thickness of the sheet along and adjacent the thickened areas.
