Textile Materials  Manufacturers, Traders, Suppliers

Textiles are used for the production of all kinds of textiles. The term textiles covers not only clothing but also all other fabrics used for curtains, cushions, decorations, bed linen, seat covers for cars, etc. Anyone who looks around will find textiles everywhere, even at the workplace, regardless of the clothing. In the office the armchairs are covered with textile fabrics, often curtains can be found on the windows. Car seats cannot do without textile materials and last but not least, the apartments only become really cosy when they are decorated with textile materials. Materials also have the property that they absorb the sound of a room, thus improving the acoustics. For this reason, large concert halls also have unusually large curtains and upholstered seats. Textile fabrics are mostly produced industrially from natural or artificial fibres. The best known natural fibres are cotton and silk. Well-known artificial fibres are nylon, polyester and polyamide. Textiles are often made from a mix of materials, even natural and synthetic fibres are mixed as required to obtain certain properties, such as windproof, waterproof and breathable. However, extreme tear and tear resistance as well as heat resistance are also required of some textile materials. The requirements depend on the use of the textile materials. Special fabric properties are particularly in demand for workwear and sportswear. These substances are often subjected to special"hardness tests" in their use. To ensure that the material keeps its promises, the fibres are tested by laboratory technicians before processing.
