Sowing threads are made of natural fibres like cotton, silk or artificial fibres like Nylon, Polyester or their blends. An ideal sewing thread should conform to a high standard of single thread strength, perfectly balanced twist and colour fastness. | Sewing thread being a key component in the stitching, the demand for sewing thread is derived from various end applications such as apparel, hosiery, embroidery footwear, leather goods and many other industrial goods. ‘Shoe lace is a band that pulls the shoe together to hold it to the foot. A shoelace consists of two components: a tape that pulls the shoo tightly together and an aglet, the hardened taped end that fits through the eyelets on a shoe or boot. Shoe laces are also known as shoestrings or boot laces Shoe Laces also find eppication in garments (kids wear), shopping bags, office stationary, home decoration etc. However the consumption in these applications is negligible as compated to that in the footwear industry. Shoe laces are primarily made of Polyester, Cotton and Nylon. Polyester shoe laces dominate the market because of higher durability and better anti-slip properties. Cotton shoe laces are waxed to improve their performance and appearance. Interlining fs a fabric used between the inner and outer layer of the garment to Improve shape retention, strength or bulk.

It is Important for bes effect to choose the most appropiate clothing label. The thee most common types of woven labels ate: 1. Damask This isthe most common type of garment label. It is used when finer images or tents are required. It gives greater earity, In detailed designs and texts, These labels are woven slower, with finer yarns, and higher weave density, than other {abels, thereby giving a uniform weave, with added durziliy. 2 Satin Satin clothing labels are usually less expensive than dsmask. They cannot present the detail of design of damask or tafetzabels, but offer a smasth, shiny, lustrous, soft appearance, and fel 3. Taffeta ‘These labels aro woven with a plain weave ground or base, This is 2 tight weave structure and produces 2 very stale, durable lel. On this ground weave the design can be produced by a brocade weave effect. These labels are often used for care instruction lbels, because of their low cost. GEOTECH (GEO TEXTILES) Construction of roads ‘An effective geotextile is one that provides separation to preserve the aggregate ‘base and maintain the designed structure and load-bearing capacity of the road. It helps prevent failure of the base and therefore the pavement by allowing the passage of water and preventing fine soil from mixing with the base. Light-use roads are usually constructed with thinner than required pavement thickness; these construction methods result in damage from the occasional passes of heavy delivery trucks or dumpsters, especially when the road is wet. Complete replacement of faulty asphalt or concrete sections using geotextiles to mai the base and provide drainage is the most effective and permanent corrective action. Railway Where the subgrade consists of coarse soils e.g. sands and gravels, the geotextile acts as a separator between the subgrade and the ballast. The subgrade, under the effect of pressure and vibration from trains passing overhead, is prevented from working its way up into the large voids between the rail ballast stones and conversely, the ballast stones are prevented from working their way down into the soil subgrade, Without a geotextile in place, progressive settlement of the track could occur resulting in loss of track alignment and incteased maintenance requirements. The pores in the geotoxtile are small enough to black the passage of fine sand and very coarse silt but large enough to allow the transmission of groundwater for pore water pressure relief,. River Canal and coastal work ‘Sports field construction Erosion protection structures or armor systems dissipate the hydraulic forces that ‘cause erosion, and they preserve the subgrade soll oF fill soll behind it, A geotextile is required between the subgrade soil and the rip-tap, gablons or pre cast blocks to prevent piping and erosion of the soll white allowing the free passage of water, The primary function of the geotextile in erosion control is filtration to minimize erosion of the subgrade soll behind the armor sys Geotextile offers a combination of properties that make it ideally suited for permanent erosion control applications: Permittivity allows drainage Non-woven, thermally bonded fiber structure minimizes the piping and erosion of subgrade soils Tough, strong and durable Easy installation Made of polypropylene, which resists rot, mildew, microorganisms and chemicals Geotestile’s tensile strength, puncture resistance, tear resistance, opening size and hydraulic properties make it anideal filter fabric for permanent erosion control systems. The primary design requirement of apermanent erosion control system is the development of a graded aggregate filter layer in the subgrade soil. Geotextile resembles a well-graded aggregate filter. Geotextile provides an effective filter structure since it has both high permeability and the ability to rotain soil particles adjacent to it, which minimizes the piping of subgrade soils and reduces fine particles from entering ‘the watercourse. Geotextiles are widely used for drainage in earth and construction works. In the EN. 1SO standards the drainage function is defined as “The collecting and transporting of precipitation, ground water andor other Muids in the plane of the geotextile”. In other words, It is the ability of the geotextile to drain fluids on its own, meaning that itis not part of a drainage system, but Is the drainage system itself. The drainage function is often confused with the filtration function. When a geotextile is part of a drainage system, where it is used to separate a soil and a coarse- grained drainage layer, the function is fitration.Usually, the installation strains are limited and use does not apply significant mechanical strains to a drainage geotextile. Consequently, high mechanical strength is not required, whereas hhydraulic properties are decisive for the overall performance of the entire ‘construction, with the water flow capacity in the plane of the geotextile being the most important. ‘Synthetic drainage in natural turf applications is implemented below the sand profile. A filter fabric allows for the evacuation of water while holding the profile in place, the drainage infiltration rate is governed only by the permeability of the profile. In addition, the filter fabric creates a better perched water table for optimal turf growth which could lead up to a 75 percent reduction in the frequency of irrigation.Carpet Backing Cloth HOMETECH (HOME TEXTILES) ‘A carpat Is any foom-woven, felted textile or grate floor covering The global carpet market for domestic and Industrial end vatletles of carpet such ax Hand Knotted Carpets, Hand Woven Carpets, Tufted carpets, Needle felt carpets, Flat weave carpets, ete.

The HVAC systems are used in industries, commercial and residential buildings where humidity and temperature need to be closely regulated. The filtration systems in general can be classified as Liquid -Solid separation (e.g. vacuum and pressure filters), Air-Gas ‘separation (e.g. activated carbon filters) and Air-Solid separation (i.e. filters that remove particulate matter {rom air). HVAC filters belong to the category of filtration products. Filter media used in air filters are nonwoven fabrics Iai perpendicular to the air flow to arrest tho solid particulate matter. Air filters can b: tither mechanical filters or electrostatic filters (electrostatically enhanced filters) Most of the filters fall under the category of mechanical filters and depend on four primary filtration mechanisms - sieving, impaction, interception, and diffusion Filters are characterized by their filtration efficiency, MERV rating and Micron size. HVAC filters are used in split and window type air conditioners as well as centralized ait conditioning. The requirement of filter media for split/window type air conditioners varies from manufacturer to manufacturer and this media is i generally washable. A wipe is a small piece of cloth used for the purpose of cleansing or disinfecting. Wipes could be woven, knitted or nonwoven. Nonwoven wipes have recently gained popularity on account of their excellent absorption and softness.

The wipes are expected to have the properties like Smooth and soft texture, Good absorbance characteristics, Good moisture retention properties. Busy lifestyle and high disposable income are the key factors for the acceptance of wipes. Wet wipes obviate the need for the use of separate wet and dry’ combinations in cleaning tasks thus, allowing people to perform daily tasks in substantially less time. Currently the demand for wipes is limited in India but with growing number of middle class families, increasing disposable income and changing lifestyle the demand for wipes is expected to increase in the urban areas. Moreover, product innovations are further likely to beost the demand. Consumption of wipes in foodservice and health care applications is also expected to grow because of heightened heaith and hygiene concems. Indian Furniture industry can be segmented as Home furniture, Office furniture and Contract furniture (majorly the hospitality segment). Fabrics are mainly used in furniture made for seating purposes. Hair, fiber, flock, foam rubber, down, and kapok are used for padding in modern upholstery whereas woven fabrics, plastics, leather and synthetic leather serve as coverings. Woven fabrics including flock and velvet are the most widely used furnishing fabrics in furniture. Both plain and printed flock fabrics with an average GSM of 145 are used for the purpose.
