COIMBATORE: A two-day conference on industrial textiles will be held at PSG College of Technology from Friday. The conference, supported by Defence Research and Development Organization (DRDO), National Jute Board (NJB), would focus on the applications of various kinds of industrial textiles.
Industrial textiles are performance-based textiles, which are engineered for specific industrial or technical purposes, said G Thilagavathi, the head of the department of textile technology, PSG College of Technology.
“While textiles are normally used for making apparels, industrial textiles are used for specific purposes such as controlling noise in auditoriums or in extreme weather conditions like in Siachen,” she said. Besides, industrial textiles manufactured by 3D weaving or composite weaving are used in aircraft parts which function in high temperature, she added.
