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
Value wise
$ 127 bn. 23,774,000 tons
Volume wise
Sportech although is 6% of the Volume, in Value terms it contributes 15%,Mobiltech is 14% in volume but 24% in value terms in 2010Packtech is 15% in Volume but contributes 5% in Value terms, similarly hometech is 12% in volume terms but contributes 7% in volume terms

Tech Textile – Growth
Role of Fibre Manufacturers
India as Global Manufacturing HubIndia as Consuming Hub owing to the large population
The Key Challenge has been always whether Market comes first or the product
The Answer is both come together……

Review and Recommendations for Growth of Tech Textile Sector
• 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 partnersb.Specialty fibre gap – Aramid, Glass fibre etc. R&D and
collaborationsc.Capital equipment Gap - collaboration from abroad.
Recommendations : Market Mapping #1
• 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 COE’s #2
• ITTA should support standard formulation ta.Buyer’s standards not mentioned in Global standardsb.Support COE’s for fixing Indian standards with BIS
• ITTA should support technical projects with COE’sa.Practical projects which help to understand Indian conditionsb.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 : Product Understanding- Role of IITA #3
• 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 productsb.Flame retardant fabrics in public places and railways, buses c.Geo tech in all express ways, highways, dams and rail tracksd.Protech for firemen, mining, defense sectors
• Textile Ministry support with the other Ministry’s a.Health Ministry for meditech products and DGCAb.Railways Ministry for Geotechc.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 Legislation #4
• Excise duty to be at least in line with regular textiles for non-woven 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 Gov. for Fiscal & Non Fiscal Correction #5
• 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 stakeholdersa.Conferences with actual cost benefit and user industry
participation for each sectorb.International Technical Textile Exhibitionsc.Specific websites for technical textiles in Gov. and Industry
Association forums
Recommendations : Role of Indian Textile Industry for Technical Textiles #7
