Technical Textiles are textiles used for specific applications in
agriculture or in industries like automobile, aviation, civil engineering, chemical,
electrical, leather, medical, transportation or for environmental protection. The main
features of technical textiles are rated on specific performance parameters and not on
aesthetics. |

Jute fibre has some unique physical properties
like high tenacity, bulkiness, sound & heat insulation property, low thermal
conductivity, antistatic property etc. Due to
these qualities, jute fibre is more suited for the manufacture of technical textiles in
certain specific areas. Moreover, the image
of jute as a hard and unattractive fibre does not affect its usage in technical textiles. |
|
Although at present the use of jute fibres in
technical applications is limited, its use for manufacturing technical textiles is
expected to increase significantly in the near future. |

Recent
developments in the manufacture of high performance technical textiles using jute. |
|
Now a days, jute is being used in high performance
applications, like protective textiles, structural composites and automotive textiles. |
