The textile packaging industry is expanding, with an increasing focus on sustainability. The use of nonwoven alternatives is also picking up. How is this growth occurring responsibly, and what impact might it have on the world? This article explores how manufacturers of packaging textiles are taking steps to minimise their environmental impact.
Functional textiles and clothing have transformed industries with specialised materials tailored to diverse consumer needs, spanning protective wear, sportswear, and medical garments. This burgeoning market, spurred by technological advances and growing demand, plays a pivotal role in bolstering global economies and driving technological progress.
For ages, Earth's diversity has driven humans to enhance textiles using nature's inspiration. While no single species can thrive in all environments, many have evolved through natural selection to endure challenging conditions. Scientists are using this to humanity’s advantage, creating innovations in protective textiles based on these very adaptations.
Nonwoven materials are gaining popularity across multiple industries due to their lightness and ability to protect against microorganisms. However, sustainability concerns have arisen due to the disposable nature of nonwovens and their potential for environmental pollution. Manufacturers are now diversifying into greener ranges, including bio-based versions.
The technological advancement and increasing awareness of skincare has led to the development in the field of cosmetic textiles. Customers are demanding microencapsulated fabrics to enhance their skincare, and the technique has been used in scented scarves, handkerchiefs, scented and anti-bacterial towels, bedsheets, upholstery fabrics etc.
The textiles used for medical purposes is usually referred to as medical textiles. The introduction of medical textiles was due to the use of textiles in the field of medical technology. The impetus for need of medical textiles has arisen due to increasing population of elderly people and economic advancement in the developed and developing countries.
Have you ever wondered about the story behind nonwoven materials? In many cases, finding out more about nonwoven materials and how they came into being can seem difficult. This article explores the story of nonwovens, including what they are, their history, how they are used today, and what the future of nonwoven materials could look like.
All kinds of glass fibres are highly amorphous in nature. There is no cohesive force between the fibres due to the absence of intermolecular attraction. The more cross-linking capacities of cationic elements like boric oxide and alumina increase the strength of the material. Glass E is the strongest fibre with high insulation properties.
Ahead of the forthcoming Techtextil exhibition in Frankfurt from June 21-24, JEC World, held in Paris from May 3-5, highlighted how the composites industry has influenced many recent advances in fabric formation technologies for technical textiles. A report. Innovation in fabric forming techniques over the past 20 years has been significantly.
Pultrusion is a low-cost way of making highly stiff hollow sections of composites. The advantages of pultruded composite profiles in applications include their lightweight, high strength, resistance to corrosion, and fast, easy installation. These properties make them competitive with standard bridge materials in situations where access and construction pres
