Introduction & Definition
“Technical 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.



Such narrow description, however, constricts the scope of technical textiles
because there are textile products that combine the duo i.e. performance and
aesthetic or decorative properties.
