Nonwoven textile with barrier properties containing a. a first barrier layer A with a theoretical cover coefficient TCC A and consisting of fibres having a median fibre diameter in the layer of dAm and b. a second barrier layer B with a theoretical cover coefficient TCC B and consisting of fibres having a median fibre diameter in the layer of dBm whilst i. the first barrier layer A and the second barrier layer B are together in direct contact ii. the median diameters of fibres in the first and second layer have a theoretical fibre diameter coefficient x = (dBm dAm)/dAm where the theoretical fibre diameter coefficient x is less than or equal to 1 and where the theoretical fibre diameter coefficient x is greater than or equal to 0.25 and iii. the sum of the theoretical cover coefficient TCC A and TCC B is greater than or equal to 50%.
