    The key takeaways are that technical textiles are textile materials primarily used for their technical properties rather than aesthetic purposes. They have a large and growing market globally and are used across many industries like agriculture, construction, transportation, healthcare and more.

    Technical textiles are textile materials and products manufactured primarily for their technical and performance properties rather than their aesthetic or decorative characteristics. They are also known as functional textiles, industrial textiles or performance textiles.

    Some examples of areas where technical textiles are used include agrotech (agriculture), buildtech (construction), clothtech (footwear and clothing components), geotech (geotextiles for civil engineering), hometech (furniture and household items), indutech (industrial uses like filtration), medtech (medical and hygiene), mobiltech (transportation), oekotech (environmental protection), packtech (packaging), protech (personal and property protection), and sporttech (sports and leisure).

    Technical Textiles Definition


    Textile materials and products manufactured primarily for their technical and performance properties rather than their aesthetic or decorative characteristics[1].

    Technical Textile also known as: Functional textile Industrial textile Performance textile Smart textile

    Areas of Technical Textile


    agrotech: agriculture, aquaculture, horticulture and forestry buildtech: building and construction clothtech: technical components of footwear and clothing geotech: geotextiles and civil engineering hometech: technical components of furniture, household textiles and

    floorcoverings

    Conti

    indutech: filtration, conveying, cleaning and other industrial uses medtech: hygiene and medical mobiltech: automobiles, shipping, railways and aerospace oekotech: environmental protection packtech: packaging protech: personal and property protection sporttech: sport and leisure [2] (Many areas are still missing)

    Technical Textile Market


    Not exact figure WTO does not report separately Many gray areas between Technical Textile and general

    textile

    More business within country Less export due to more freight charges People prefer to produce locally

    Market Size

    More than 10% annual growth, while general textile is around 7% [4] Fastest growth among textiles Developed countries have more than 60% share Infrastructure development, more safe, better life, increase in application of disposable items Per capita consumption in developing countries 0.2 Kg versus 3 Kg for the developed Estimated market is around 160 Billion US $

    Development of Technical Textile Fibers


    Before the invention of synthetic, cotton, jute, flax, sisal were major fibers Viscose was developed around 1910, partially used in some areas due to higher absorbency Polyamide was developed in 1939, it is used for high strength and abrasion, Polyester (PET) was developed in 1950s, now one major fiber in the world. Starting from apparel to Technical Textile

    Conti

    Polypropylene and polyethylene developed between 1960-1980 Low cost and versatile e in nature, strong inert, very low absorbency near to nil, low density, high abrasion In start used as bags now in every where, most recent use is in apparel

    High performance fibers


    From 1980 onward, a significant growth in high

    performance fibers

    Aramids, meta aramids used in protective clothing

    and to reinforce strength (tires etc.) and similar applications) in a host of applications

    and the high strength and modulus para -aramids (used More than 40 000 MT per annum

    [5]

    Aromatic Polyamides
    Produced commercially 1960s by DuPont Nomex Kevlar by DuPont in 1973 Carbon fibers in 1960s, costly but having high resistance

    Carbon fiber, alternatively 5-10 um, Carbon graphite, carbon atoms are bonded along the x axis,

    high strength

    Heat and Flameproof Fibers


    In 1980s, Phenolic fibres and PBI, polybenzimidazole heat and flameproof materials were introduced used for protective clothing Ultra-strong high modulus polyethylene (HMPE) for ballistic protection Chemically stable polymers such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyphenylene sulphide (PPS) and polyethyletherketone (PEEK) for use in filtration and other chemically

    Glass and Ceramic


    Sophisticated engineering material with excellent fire

    and heat-resistant properties.


    Used as sealing material, insulating material, rubber

    reinforcement, protective material, for packaging


    Ceramic fibers are also used for heat storage

    Performance Fibers
    Performance Fibers produce: PEN (polyethylene naphthalate), PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PEEK (polyetheretherketone),

    PBT (polybutylene terepthalate) and Nylon 6.
