Muhammad Ali Iqbal
 All
textile products, which are designed for the most part to
conform to their functionality, are technical textile.
 All textile excluding household and clothing are technical
textile.
But
 Pressure suit for astronauts, the cold and water resistant
suits for diver are not in the group of clothing but are
technical textile.
 A Technical textile is a textile product manufactured for
non-aesthetic purposes, where function is the primary
criterion.
Agrotech (Agro-textiles)
Textiles used in Agriculture are termed as agro textiles.
 For Layer separation in fields, nets for plants, rootless
plants & protecting grassy areas.
 As sun screens (since they have adjustable screening) and
wind shields.
 As packing material and in bags for storing grass (that has
been mowed).
 Controlling stretch in knitted nets.
 Shade for basins.
 Anti-birds nets.
 Materials for ground and plant water management at the
time of scarcity and abundance of water.

 Mobiltech
(Automotive and aerospace textiles)
These textiles are used in automobiles, ships and aircraft.
Many coated and reinforced textiles are use in materials for
engines such as air ducts, timing belts, air filters, non-wovens
for engine sound isolation.
Buildtech (Construction Textiles)
 Buildtech (Construction Textiles)
Textiles used in construction - concrete reinforcement, façade
foundation systems, interior construction, insulations, proofing
materials, air conditioning, noise prevention, visual protection,
protection against the sun, building safety.
Clothtech (Clothing Textiles)
Technical textiles for clothing applications. Especially in the finishing
process where fabric is treated under pressure and high temperature
the technical textile supports the fabric for smooth processing. This is
usually the blend of polyester,modal,viscose,nylon,etc.
 Geotech (Geo-textiles)
These are used in reinforcement of embankments or in constructional
work. The application areas include civil engineering, earth and road
construction, dam engineering, soil sealing and in drainage systems.
 Hometech (Domestic Textiles)
Textiles used in a domestic environment - interior decoration and
furniture, carpeting, protection against the sun, cushion materials,
fireproofing, floor and wall coverings, textile reinforced
structures/fittings.

Packtech (Packaging textiles)
Packaging, silos, containers, bags, lashing straps, canvas covers, marquee tents.
 Indutech (Industrial Textiles)
Textiles used for chemical and electrical applications and textiles related to
mechanical engineering.
 Oekotech or Ecotech (Environmentally friendly textiles)
New applications for textiles in environmental protection applications - floor
sealing, erosion protection, air cleaning, prevention of water pollution, water
cleaning, waste treatment/recycling, depositing area construction, product
extraction, domestic water sewerage plants.
 Sporttech (Sports textiles)
Shoes, sports equipment, flying and sailing sports, climbing, angling, cycling,
winter and summer sports, indoor sport it can vary from anything including sports
bags.

 Textile
recycling is the method of reusing or reprocessing
used clothing, fibrous material and clothing scraps from the
manufacturing process. Textiles in municipal solid waste are
found mainly in discarded clothing, although other sources
include furniture, carpets, tires, footwear, and nondurable
goods such as sheets and towels.

There are a number of points in the production cycle
where testing may be carried out to improve the product
or to prevent sub-standard merchandise progressing
further in the cycle.

Product Development and Research
 The
production cycle starts with the delivery of raw
material. If the material is incorrect then it is impossible to
produce the required quality of final product.
 The textile industry consists of a number of separate
processes .Raw material depends on the stage in processing
at which the testing takes place.
 The incoming material is checked for the required properties
so that unsuitable material can be rejected or appropriate
adjustments made to the production conditions.
 The standards that the raw material has to meet must be set
at a realistic level.



Production monitoring is known as quality control. Its aim is to
maintain, within known tolerances, certain specified properties
of the product at the level at which they have been set.
A quality product for these purposes is defined as one whose
properties meets or exceeds the set specifications.
Successful monitoring of production is requires the careful
design of sampling procedures and the use of statistical analysis
to make sense of the results.
 In
this process the bulk production is examined before
delivery to the customer to see if it meets the specifications.
It takes place after the material has been produced.
 It is therefore too late to alter the production conditions.
 If
faulty material is discovered either at final inspection or
through a customer complaint it is important that the cause
is isolated.
 Investigations of faults involve the determination of which
party is responsible for faulty material.
 Work of this nature is often contracted out to independent
laboratories who are then able to give an unbiased opinion.
 In
the textile industry technology is changing all the time,
bringing modified materials or different methods of
production.
 Before any modified product reaches the market place it is
necessary to test the material to check that the properties
have been improved or have not been degraded by faster
production methods.
 In this way an improved product or a lower-cost product with
the same properties can be provided for the customer.
