Technical Textiles – Importance of Fibre
What is Technical Textile?
Textile products manufactured primarily for their technical and performance properties
How do we get the Functional Performance for the End User?
Differentiation at
Fibre stage
Yarn Stage
Fabric Stage
Wet Processing Stage
Technology at Fibre, yarn, Fabric and End Conversion stage
Raw Materials for Technical Textiles
Regular/Generic fibers
Natural fibers: Cotton, silk, wool, jute, hamp, ramie, flax
Regenerated fibers: Viscose, Lyocell.
Synthetic fibers: Nylon, PET, PP, Acrylic.
2. Specialty variants of
regular/generic fibers
Flame retardant
Super absorbent
Antimicro bacterial
Ultra fine fibers. etc.
3. High tech/high performance fibers:
High chemical- and combustion-resistant organic fibres: Nomex, Kevlar
High performance inorganic fibres: Glass, Asbestos, Carbon
Recommendations : Market Mapping #1
A global understanding o f the Tech Textile sector in size
Ministry of Textiles can extend the base line survey to Global context
Market potential from current to the next ten years mapped for need gap analysis
Technology and equipment gap – bring in partners
Specialty fibre gap – Aramid, Glass fibre etc. R&D and collaborations
Capital equipment Gap - collaboration from abroad.
