The purpose of this study was to produce a non-woven, using a base of bamboo cellulose (angustifolia) with a particle size of 1mm, and it begins with the weighing of 100 g bamboo cellulose, which is mixed with a bath ratio bamboo / water 1:10 in a mixer grinder, placing 1 liter of water mixes and forms a viscous solution, this solution is placed on a frame stretched with polyester woven mesh and another frame without mesh, once the layer is formed, it is remove the upper frame without mesh and compress it manually with a sponge, removing excess water and drying in the room at a temperature of 20 0C for 8 hours, evaporated the moisture from the bamboo cellulose (angustifolia) and dried, separated from the frame and a laminated nonwoven (filter) was obtained. Finding that the breaking strength and its elongation in thickness of 0.3mm is 2.73 N and 0.895 mm respectively and thickness of 5mm is 31.2 N and 1.01 mm. The resistance and extension is very low in the two cases, and there are no statistically significant differences between their sample medians (p> 0.05). It can be concluded that when using bamboo cellulose base with a particle size of 1mm, and forming the non-woven with thickness of 0.5mm and 3mm, it has low resistance and extension, finding that if the raw material has an influence on the conformation of the non-woven.
