Technical Textiles – Importance of Fibre
What is Technical Textile?
Textile products manufactured primarily for their technical and
performance properties
How do we get the Functional Performance for the End User?
Differentiation at
Fibre stage
Yarn Stage
Fabric Stage
Wet Processing Stage
Technology at Fibre, yarn, Fabric and End Conversion stage
Raw Materials for Technical Textiles
1. Regular/Generic fibers
•
•
•
Natural fibers: Cotton, silk, wool, jute, hamp, ramie, flax
Regenerated fibers: Viscose, Lyocell.
Synthetic fibers: Nylon, PET, PP, Acrylic.
2. Specialty variants of
regular/generic fibers
•
•
•
•
Flame retardant
Super absorbent
Antimicro bacterial
Ultra fine fibers. etc.
3. High tech/high performance fibers:
•
•
High chemical- and combustion-resistant organic fibres: Nomex, Kevlar
High performance inorganic fibres: Glass, Asbestos, Carbon
Worldwide Fiber composition in Technical Textiles
• World over, PSF/PFY and PP based products have maximum application in Technical textile,
comprising over 50% of the share, the applications are across product categories and usage
• Viscose and other cellulosic fibres has 6% share
Fiber composition in Technical Textiles in India
• In India the fibre composition in Technical Textile is quite contrasting to the world as natural
fibres have 50% share.
• Viscose, Cellulosic and Regenerated fibre comprise of 6.6% share which is comparable to the
share of these fibres in technical textiles across the world
• Glass fibre for Technical textile in India is just 2.1% where as worldwide it has a 15% share
World Technical Textiles Consumption, 2010
$ 127 bn.
23,774,000 tons
Sportech although is 6% of the Volume, in Value terms it contributes 15%,
Mobiltech is 14% in volume but 24% in value terms in 2010

Review and Recommendations for Growth of Tech
Textile Sector
Recommendations : Market Mapping #1
• A global understanding o f the Tech Textile sector in size
• Ministry of Textiles can extend the base line survey to Global
context
• Market potential from current to the next ten years mapped
for need gap analysis
a.Technology and equipment gap – bring in partners
b.Specialty fibre gap – Aramid, Glass fibre etc. R&D and
collaborations
c.Capital equipment Gap - collaboration from abroad.
Recommendations : Product Understanding- Role of COE’s #2
• To Buy out relevant International samples and decode
• Create facility for Prototype development exactly matching
• Build a studio for their specialization with International samples
• Commercials made for each potential product with Industry
• Tabulate different comparative standards
• Formulate Indian standards for application based
Recommendations : Product Understanding- Role of IITA #3
• ITTA should support standard formulation t
a.Buyer’s standards not mentioned in Global standards
b.Support COE’s for fixing Indian standards with BIS
• ITTA should support technical projects with COE’s
a.Practical projects which help to understand Indian conditions
b.Commercial information on worthwhile projects
• ITTA should make a lifetime benefit for large applications - shared
with respective user industry ministry along with Textile
Commissioner’s Office
Recommendations : Role of Gov. for Legislation #4
• Gov. of India’s legislation for the safety, cost and welfare of the
common man in the following areas wud help.
a.Only BIS and pharmacopeia consistent meditech products
b.Flame retardant fabrics in public places and railways, buses
c.Geo tech in all express ways, highways, dams and rail tracks
d.Protech for firemen, mining, defense sectors
• Textile Ministry support with the other Ministry’s
a.Health Ministry for meditech products and DGCA
b.Railways Ministry for Geotech
c.Education Ministry for including Tech Tex in syllabus of
*Meditech for MBBS
*Geotech for Civil Engineers
*Agritech for agricultural engineering
*ITI courses for operations of tech textiles
Recommendations : Role of Gov. for Fiscal & Non Fiscal
Correction #5
• Excise duty to be at least in line with regular textiles for nonwoven tech textiles.
• Duty drawback and DEPB for nonwoven and converted products
do not find a mention and needs to be notified
• Specific HS codes is proposed for specialty fibres
• All standards for Non-implantables should have Woven &
Nonwoven both as product option; and should thus find a place
in govt. tenders
Recommendations : Role of Indian Textile Industry for
Technical Textiles #7
• Leaders in Industry to work with Gov to set up specific Tech
Textile parks similar to Apparel parks.
• Technical Textiles should be promoted by all stakeholders
a.Conferences with actual cost benefit and user industry
participation for each sector
b.International Technical Textile Exhibitions
c.Specific websites for technical textiles in Gov. and Industry
Association forums
