Technical textiles are one of the two faster growing sectors of the textile industry worldwide. Since 1985, the global market size of this particular sector has averagely grown by 3.8% per year. To 2010 the consumption of technical textile will be as high as US$128.6 billion, according to estimates of international market research firm DRA Co.

Eyeing the strong growth rates in the technical textile market, many producers of apparel textiles are getting more involved in the sector. Competition hence is intensifying, and the power of innovation will play a key role to win the market.

In the upcoming Techtextil North America (TTNA), scheduled to be held from April 1 to 3 in Atlanta, the USA, a number of innovative fibers will be on display, bringing enhanced strength to technical textiles.


New absorbent yarn to manipulate moisture

The new CAMEL super absorbent yarn by A&E Technical Textiles, for instance, provides manufacturers of fabric and industrial products flexibility to capture, manage and manipulate moisture for a wide variety of applications.

Based on super absorbent fiber (SAF) technology rapid absorbency, CAMEL yarn can reach 90% of its maximum absorbency in about five seconds with an average minimum absorbency of 30-grams moisture per gram of yarn. Furthermore, its absorbency characteristics can be tailored to meet specific absorbency requirements for maximum performance and cost benefit. The yarn has already been utilized in the geotextile industry for use in ground water management (golf courses) and geo-absorbent (landfill) applications.



Diofort yarn by Diolen.
New multifilament yarns offer improved protection

Diolen Industrial Fibers will launch Diofort, the world's first PPS (Poly-Phenylene-Sulphide) high-tenacity, multifilament yarn. This new yarn combines chemical resistance, heat resistance and flame retardance with high tenacity performance in filtration fabrics, mechanical rubber goods reinforcement and composites.

The company explains that in hot gas filtration, the resulting performance will improve through higher strength and better dimensional stability. The lifetime of the end products will also increase considerably, and the yarn properties open the possibility for lower fabric weight.


Vectran fiber by Kuraray America.
Kuraray America Inc, a specialty materials manufacturer, will feature Vectran HT. The fiber is a multifilament polyester-polyarylate yarn spun from liquid crystal polymer (LCP) and is suited for demanding applications thanks to its good flex-fatigue properties, very low creep and outstanding moisture, thermal, chemical and cut-resistance. The fiber also provides engineering solutions for aerospace, composite, inflatable, rope, cable and electromechanical applications.

In addition, Kuraray America will highlight structural fibers for concrete reinforcement; advanced fibers for paper and nonwovens, including developmental anti-static and electro-conductive fibers; spunlace nonwovens for hygiene applications; and synthetic leather made of super-micro fiber for industrial usage.


More innovations at TTNA

Furthermore, in TTNA, other companies will be presenting their innovations.

The Lenzing Group will exhibit nonwovens, heat-protection fibers and architectural textiles. Its Viscose and Tencel, for instance, combine the benefits of renewable raw material wood with the high degree of purity, softness and absorbency demanded by nonwoven customers, suitable for demanding hygiene, medical, household, cosmetics, automotive and technical applications. The registered Profilen yarns and fibers, made of PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), can be used in architectural textiles as well as medical engineering, sports and safety wear. Hot gas filtration will be featured as well. Moreover, Lenzing Textile Fibers will continue to showcase its latest fiber technology for military applications with Lenzing FR, an inherently flame-resistant fiber, and Defender fabric.

Performance Fibers, established in the US, will highlight products that provide enhanced strength, adhesion and processing performance. Among the featured products will be 1H75 fiber, a DSP fiber that offers increased strength and improved dimensional stability; and PenTec fiber, a specialty fiber with a unique balance of high modulus and strength. In addition, 1W81 and 1W83 fibers featuring SeaGard marine overlay finish offer excellent wet abrasion resistance and superior long-term durability in demanding marine applications.

Bally Ribbon Mills (BRM) will demonstrate its extensive product line of engineered, woven, narrow fabrics, specialty broadcloth and woven structures for medical, industrial, aerospace and commercial applications.
