Technical Textiles: The technical textiles are defined as textile materials and products manufactured primarily for their technical performance and functional properties rather than their aesthetic or decorative characteristics. Categories of Technical Textile: Depending on the product characteristics, functional requirements and end-use applications the highly diversified range of technical textile products has been grouped into categories: Agro Textiles (Agriculture,… Continue reading What is Aerospace Textile | Application of Aerospace Textiles

Textiles are the largest items of application next only to engineering goods; textiles have found wider acceptance in industry, house hold, aerospace and apparel field.etc. Today industrial textile has an old tradition, in the 20th century when man-made fibers became available, the range of industrial textiles was rapidly widened by textiles before, These are currently used… Continue reading What is Industrial textiles? Classification of industrial textiles?

Definition of Fibers:   The essential requirements for fibers to be spun into yarn include a length of at least 5 millimeters, flexibility, cohesiveness, and sufficient strength. Fibres are the foundation for all textile products and can either be natural (natural fibres) or man-made (manufactured or man-made regenerated). Within these two types or groups, there are two main kinds of fibres: Fibres of indefinite (very great) length, called filaments. Fibres of much shorter length, called staple fibres. Filaments are generally combined and twisted to form yarns, whilst staple fibres are spun to create yarns. Yarns are then typically woven or knitted into fabrics. A piece of… Continue reading Definition of Textile Fibers & Types of Textile Fibers.

Speakers at the recent textiles coating and laminating conference in Berlin outlined likely areas of impact that change would have on automotive textiles. Watch their presentations to gain a better understanding of the issues and topics that this conference will address: E-mobility and its impact on textiles and coated fabrics, (Silke Brand-Kirsch, Schlegel & Partners, Germany) Most… Continue reading Key impacts of change on automotive textiles

Woven Fabrics The formal structure of a woven fabric is defined by weave, thread density, crimp and yarn count. Woven fabrics are made by using two or more sets of yarn interlaced at right angles to each other. Much variety is produced by weaving. Woven fabrics are generally more durable. A woven fabric which is used in… Continue reading Application of Woven Fabrics in Technical Textiles

Nonwovens do not depend on the interlacing of yarn for internal cohesion. Intrinsically they have neither an organized geometrical structure. They are essentially the result of the relationship between one single fiber and another. This provides nonwoven fabrics with characteristics of their own, with new or better properties (absorption, filtration) and therefore opens them up… Continue reading Non-Woven Fabrics
