The invention relates to a protective and/or combustive material (1), in particular for thermal protection and/or anti-shock or anti-damage protection, said material including at least one first layer (2), consisting of at least one first fiber, and at least one second layer (3), consisting of at least one second fiber. Said first and second layers (2, 3) are intended to fulfill, at least partially, a protective and/or combustive function. Said material is characterized in that the first and second layers (2, 3) are held together by setting up chemical bonds between said first and second fibers, in a contact area between said first and second fibers. The invention is of use in the field of protective and/or combustive materials.
