In certain cases, the textile products are expected to
protect us from risks. For example, outdoor clothing gives
protection against rain.
Fire
From indoor environment
Wind resistance
from impact
Other

Underwear, socks – skin contact
Middle layers – thermal insulation
Outerwear – appearance
Outdoor clothing – protection

180 g/m2 for 100 % cotton.
120 g/m2 for 50 % CO / 50 % PES.
1.Raw material-
 Pure synthetic or pure natural fibre are used.
 No blends are mostly preferred .
2.Mass per unit area-

3.Thickness.
4. Abrasion resistance -heavy use 40 000 r (Martindale) for
clothing materials and 50 000 r.
5. Elastic properties.
6.Tear resistance-tear resistance for woven clothing fabrics is
at least 25 N.
7.Bursting strength.
8. Breaking strength-a minimum breaking strength of 350 N
for cotton polyester blended (50%/50%) sheets and 450 N for
cotton sheets.

Appearance:-
Staining
Wrinkles
Seam puckering
Drapeability
Pilling
Colour fastness against rubbing-Oeko-Tex Standard has
limit values for colour fastness against rubbing 4 for dry
and 2–3 for wet
2/11/2015

 Colour fastness against washing : It is recommended for
colour fastness to washing value 4 .
 Colour fastness to perspiration : It is recommended
value 4
 Colour fastness against light : A minimum value 5 is
recommended for clothing fabrics.
 Wrinkling and wrinkle recovery: It is recommended for
clothing fabrics at least value 4.
 Pilling : It is recommended that the pilling for clothing
fabrics is 4 at least.

Comfort properties:-
 Good thermal insulation-wheelchair users Indoors at +20 °c.
 Water vapour transmission Breathability: It is
recommended that the breathability of woven and knitted
clothing fabrics is at least 5000 g/m2*24 h.
 Air permeability-an air permeability of less than 150 l/m2*s
 Flame retardance-It is not possible to give an absolute
recommendation value for flame spread time because 15–60 s.

Thus the aid of modern textile Engg. And advancement in
textile era can be vary well put to use for disabled people.
They are different from the other people in various need and
day to day work. So there is need to consider the clothing for
disabled people.
With help of textile Engg. We can improve the living style of
