Fibers used in technical textiles
- 1. S . D H I V Y A D E P A R T M E N T O F C O S T U M E D E S I G N A N D F A S H I O N TECHNICAL TEXTILES
- 2. POLYETHYLENE PROPERTIES Very good ultra violet resistance Excellent electrical and chemical resistance Low moisture absorption level Very good abrasion resistance Higher energy is needed to break because of specific modulus and high specific strength
- 3. Application of Polyethylene: Medical implants Cable and marine ropes Sail cloth Composites like Pressure vessel boat hulls, sports equipment, impact shields Fish netting Concrete reinforcement Protective clothing Can be used in radar protective cover because of its low dielectric constant Can be used as a lining material of a pond which collects evaporation of water and containment from industrial plants Useful in geotextile applications
- 4. POLYETHYLENE
- 6. Polyester Properties: Wrinkle resistance Heat resistance Good mechanical properties Polymerization and cross linking is possible
- 7. Application of Polyester: Widely used in apparels Fiberfill is used in cushion padding, comforters and in stuff pillows Woven polyester fabric is used in home furnishing Medical Implants In jet engines as abradable seal Spun together with natural fibres to give strength
- 8. POLYESTER
- 9. POLYESTER
- 10. NYLON FIBRE Properties: Dries quickly Easy to launder Strong and elastic Responsive to heat setting and resilient Retains its shape Lower mould shrinkage Good fatigue resistance
- 11. Application of Nylon Fibre Used in hosiery Useful in making of swimwear, windbreakers, draperies, bedspreads, shorts track pants and active wear Also use in parachutes Tire cord, hoses, conveyer and seat belts, parachutes, racket strings, ropes and nets, sleeping bags, tents, thread, mono filament fishing line.
- 12. CARBON FIBRE Properties: Physical strength Specific toughness Light weight Low abrasion Good vibration strength, damping and toughness Biological inertness and x- ray permeability High corrosion resistance Electrical conductivity Electromagnetic properties
- 13. Application of Carbon Fibre Sporting goods, aerospace, marine and road transport Audio equipment, Hi-fi equipment and loudspeakers Medical applications in x-ray and surgery equipment, ligament and tendon repair and in implants Textile machinery. Missiles, aircraft brakes, aerospace antenna and support structure
- 14. CARBON
- 16. POLYPROPYLENE Properties: Thermoplastic property Good strength Good environmental resistance Low density, hence light weight Good toughness Ability to be remoulded
- 17. Application of Polypropylene Fibre: Textile industry Good impact properties even at low temperatures and slightly increased elongation at break Extruded pipes, automotive like battery cases and bumpers, blow moulded containers Boat bodies, blow moulded medical articles and seat shells. Automotive Industry Aerospace Industry Construction Industry
- 18. POLYPROPYLENE
- 19. GLASS FIBRE Properties High strength Non flammable Relatively insensitive to moisture Good electrical insulation High production rates Relatively low density Good chemical resistance Relatively low fatigue resistance Good strength properties in various conditions Relatively low density Low cost
- 20. Application of Glass fibre Reinforcement material in polymer matrix composites Laminate structures can be used in storage tanks Woven fabrics are used in production of surfboards, composite panels and other similar devices Useful for good thermal insulation
- 21. GLASS FIBER
- 25. VISCOSE FIBRE Properties Viscose has silk like feel and drape It retains its colors It has cellulosic base so it has many properties like cotton and natural cellulosic fibre Moisture absorbent Comfortable to wear Breathable Easily dyed in vivid colors It does not build up static electricity Moderate dry strength and abrasion resistance
- 26. Application of Viscose fibre Apparel uses like jackets, dresses etc. Industry uses like tire cord Medical surgery products Furnishings like upholstery, bed spreads etc
- 27. VISCOSE FIBER
- 28. ACRYLIC FIBRE Properties Resistant to moths, chemicals and oils Resistant to deterioration from sunlight exposure It dyes well Has excellent colorfastness It retains its shape Resists wrinkles and shrinkage Quick dry and easy care
- 29. Application of Acrylic fibre Use in the knitwear section In sportswear In industry and apparel Hygienic cloth Domestic textiles Carpets
- 30. PROTEIN FIBRE Properties Antimicrobial activity (Inhibits bacterial growth) Flocculation (Purifies waste waters) Salt adsorption (Lowers high blood pressure) Hemostatic action (bleeding easily stopped) Heavy metal adsorption (Adsorbs and removes radioactive substances) Cell activation (Promotes Iysozyme secretion) Slow releasing action (permits slow and steady release of medicines) Immunization (enhances immunity of body against diseases) Lowering of cholesterol (catches cholesterol and lowers its level) Biodegradation (being organic material it is degraded by microorganisms) Acceleration of skin tissue regeneration (thin non woven fabric is applied to burns) Oil absorption inhibition (helps to remove excess fat from body) Body activation (helps in wound healing)
- 31. Application of Protein fibre Gymnastic uniform like sweats, t-shirts and shirts, polo shirts, blouse, cardigan House interior like pillow cover and bedcover Sports wear like uniform of baseball team, wristband, socks Underwear like bikini, lingerie and mens brief Outer wear like blankets
- 32. METAL FIBRE Properties Good thermal and electrical conduction Wear resistance Elastic module and high intensity Protection from magnetism and static and radiation Better shield effect
- 33. Application of Metal fibre Automotive manufacturing Automobile safe gasbag Shield dress of protection from magnetism Bulletproof vests Dust proof ultra clean clothes
- 34. METAL FIBER
