A technical textile is a specific type of fabric or material designed for a specific use. They provide special and exclusive properties that are very different from those found in regular fabric. The improved mechanical resistance, elasticity, strengthening, anti-dust, tenacity, insulator, thermal & fire resistance, and rigidity to UV and IR are all combined in these textiles due to modern technology. In the automotive, medical & personal hygiene, sport & leisure, pollution control & filtration, agricultural, industrial, packaging, and clothing industries, technical textiles are typically used for non-aesthetic applications. As a result, the need for textile chemicals, which are added to technical textiles to give them advanced qualities, is growing due to the increased use of technical textiles in various applications.
Technical textile is one of the innovative product categories in the textile sector due to its increasing attractiveness and adaptability. The need for technical textiles is continually being fueled by the expanding automotive and medical sectors. Emerging economies like China and India are emphasizing the adoption of cutting-edge manufacturing techniques and technological advancements across a range of industry sectors.
