Classification of Industrial Textile

Industrial textiles are specific textiles for industrial purpose. In this article, we will introduce some industrials about their application and features.

Nonwovens for bumper harvest

Nonwoven for bumper harvest

Nonwovens are common materials for the cover of thermal insulation shed. They can reduce the risk of some natural disaster.to improve the microclimatic conditions for the crop.

Fishing Net

Fishing Net

Nets for catching fish. twine, nylon or polyester multifilament, polyester monofilament are the raw materials to make nets. The knitted method is a knot, twist, or warp.

Geotextile/Geomembrane

Basically use of geotextile to enhance the roadbed, therefore, it becomes possible to build the road on some soft-land. In addition, we can also place geotextile on the slopes of the mountain to grow the plant on.

As a result, soils can not run easily due to heavy rains. It’s features in good tensile, tear-resistant, anti-breaking and other mechanical properties, and keep the water permeability at the same time.

Fire Hose

Pipe shape textile that can withstand a certain pressure. The raw materials contain cotton, ramie, flax, and synthetic fiber n this goods. This is suitable for high-pressure delivery without leaking. Fire hose features in good resistance of abrasion, preservative, and light in weight.

Wall-covering cloth

Wall-covering cloth


Wall decoration textile, features in wear-resistant, safe flammability performance. We can easily clean the wall with a wet cloth. This kind of cloth requires special fire resistance in the finishing process to make it safe in use.

Equipotential silk

Equipotential silk
quipotential silk


Good electrical conductivity and provides shielding of electromagnetic. The raw materials that offer equipotential silk these features are tussah silk and metallic line. Radiation protection suit is one common final product of equipotential silk.

Parachute Fabric

Parachute Fabric
Parachute Fabric


Nylon woven fabric in plain weave structure is what inside a parachute fabric. We embed the warp and weft with a relatively thick nylon thread at a certain distance. As a result, we form a plaid structure to improve tear strength. In addition, the specific amount of air is also an important physical indicator.

Medical Gauze

Medical Gauze
Medical Gauze


is the base material for medical dressing and covering. It is woven with medium and roving plain weave, and the structure is sparse. After weaving and degreasing, medical gauze should have good moisture absorption and moisture dissipation properties.

Surgical Sutures

Surgical sutures are sutures for surgery. Manufactures use finer nylon 6 or nylon 66 monofilament to produce surgical sutures. The requirement is high strength, smooth, very cool, not scattered, not easy to rot, and the reaction of foreign bodies in the human body is small.

In conclusion;

after reading these introductions, you may find that all these industrial textiles have special requirement for their textile properties.
However, you can not tell determine these properties like bursting, tear strength, abrasion via your eyes. In other words, we need to test industrial textiles to know their performance.


To conduct industrial textile testing, you will need varied kinds of testing instrument. For example , you will need a permeability tester to test the Nonwovens for bumper harvest fabric. similarly, a vertical flammability chamber to test the Wall-covering cloth.
