Method to apply multiple coatings to a fiber web

A non-woven fibrous composite produced by a process comprising:

• a) providing a plurality of fibrous substrates arranged into an array, wherein each fibrous substrate comprises a single fiber;
• b) applying a first polymeric material onto a surface of each fibrous substrate;
• c) applying a second polymeric material onto a surface of a support;
• d) thereafter, joining the array and the support by contacting the first polymeric material with the second polymeric material;
• e) separating the support from the array, such that at least a portion of the second polymeric material remains on the first polymeric material on the fibrous substrates;
• f) repeating steps a) through e) with at least one additional array of fibrous substrates;
• and
• g) thereafter, uniting each array to form a non-woven fabric.
