What are some characteristics of spunbonded material?
And I know that it is a man-made, but what are the man-made fibers?

Selected answer:answer below
Explanation:
It is made from polymer fibers bonded together.

Features and Benefits
Since the spunbonded and spunmelt composite processes yield continuous filament fabrics, the resultant nonwoven exhibits high strength in both the cross- and machine-direction, as well as resistance to abrasion. As the spunbonded technology is an integrated one-step process from resin extrusion to nonwoven fabric, the cost per unit weight is typically lower than other competing technologies. Spunmelt composites, because of the fine fiber melt blown layer(s), can act as a barrier (to repel liquids) while also maintaining a certain level of breathability.

not for grading; man-made fibres


Explanation:
The easiest way to define man-made fibre, that the material didn't grow as an animal hair, or as a plant fibre, or silk.
Man-made fibres: poliamid (nylon, perlon), polyester, aramid, polyethilene, acetate, acrylic, tiacetate, viscose, just to mention a few.
Natural fibres are: wool(sheep's, angora, llama, camel, rabbit, chinchilla, you name it), plant fibres (flax, cotton, sisal, jute, etc.) silk and leather.
