French term or phrase: feutre
Good morning/afternoon, all!

I am working on a densification patent that I had done several weeks ago, but now some changes have been made and I have the opportunity to edit my previous translation. "Il a également été proposé, dans ces documents, de mantenir au contact de la structure poreuse à densifier, une autre structure poreuse d'une épaisseur au moins égale à 3 mm, telle qu'un feutre de 3 à 5 mm d'épaisseur, pour assurer la densification de la structure poreuse sur toute son épaisseur."

I previously used felt, but now have my doubts.

Thanks,

Harold

English translation:felt
Explanation:
I think felt is OK. Felt can be made of any type of fibre, and doesn't necessarily get soggy and fall apart as soon as it is wetted.
An alternative would be "mat".
