Demand for technical textiles will grow due to the increasing cases of soil erosions in mountainous region. According to data from European Union, more than 80% of all agricultural areas and natural grassland in European Union are expected to be affected by severe soil erosions in 2016.
Technical textiles, also known as smart textiles or functional textiles, refer to textile materials and products that are engineered and designed to possess specific performance characteristics and functionalities. Unlike traditional textiles that are primarily used for aesthetic and comfort purposes, technical textiles are developed to meet functional requirements and provide enhanced performance in various applications.
The term “technical” in technical textiles indicates the specialized nature of these materials, which are designed to deliver specific functionalities such as resistance to extreme temperatures, fire retardancy, water repellency, electrical conductivity, UV protection, antimicrobial properties, and much more. These advanced properties are achieved through the integration of innovative fibers, coatings, finishes, or other treatments during the manufacturing process.
