 "Technical
textiles" comprises a diverse range of manufacturing activities tied to broad
end-use markets. The industry embraces products ranging from the mundane, such
as wiping cloths to the spectacular such as heart valves, aerospace composites,
Military Body Armor, Marine, Medical, Construction/ architectural fabrics,
Transportation and High-Technology. The supply chain that connects fiber
producers with end-use markets is a long and complex one. The common
characteristic that unifies all technical textile applications, activities and
companies is the use of fibers, often engineered fiber, yarn and fabric form,
to provide specific technical performance characteristics to meet the final
customer/ market requirements, either as a final product in themselves or as a
component in another product.
Textile materials and products intended for end-uses other than non-protective
clothing, household furnishing and floorcovering, where the fabric or fibrous
component is selected principally but not exclusively for its performance and
properties as opposed to its aesthetic or decorative characteristics. | | |
