Seen as a mightily expanding and
changing sector in the global textile industry, the presence of technical
textiles is not merely confined to industrial applications and is becoming a
ubiquitous phenomenon in our day to day activities as well.
The new promise of technical textiles is generation of products (by combining the latest developments in advanced flexible materials with advances in process technologies) that eventually have a direct impact upon all sorts of consumer textile markets, including both clothing and furnishings. These are called “HOMETECH”.
One of the largest technical textile markets, this sector comprises household textiles, furnishings (used in contract applications) and upholstered furniture industry (including fiberfill and wadding applications in bedding, cushions, sleeping bags and furniture backings).
Some of the highly useful applications of HOMETECH include:
- Woven & knit wipes (cleaning wipes for domestic applications)
- Nonwoven wipes (floor mops)
- Tickings (for filled products like pillows, duvets, cushions)
- Mattress components (Flanging and quilt backing, spring wrap)
- Spring insulators Flat fabrics ( used to cover springs in beds or upholstery)
- Platform cloth (fabrics used as a base for cushions on upholstered furniture)
- Dust cloths Fabrics attached to base of furniture
- Skirt linings and other fabrics for use in upholstered furniture, bedding etc
- Carpet backings (used as primary as well as secondary backing for tufted carpets)
- Sewing threads used in all furnishing, household textile applications
