Commercially protective fabrics made for thermal insulation, flame resistance & high temperature resistance is generally a multi-layer composite fabric comprising of both woven & non woven layers that could be coated or laminated according to the end use application. This project aims at an alternative method of producing protective textiles. Multi-layer composite fabric in piece form has been produced by using tubular fabric produced on plain power loom and then inserting non woven, woven & loose fibres in it. The protective textiles so produced were tested for durability, comfort, thermal & strength properties
