Textiles are textile materials and products manufactured
primarily
for their technical and performance properties rather than their
aesthetic
or decorative characteristics.”
Eg. Filter fabrics
Geo-textiles
Medical gowns
Umbrella cloth
Mask
Composites in
aerospace and body panels of automotives etc.

because
there are textile products that combine the duo i.e. performance and
aesthetic
or decorative properties.
Eg Flame retardant
