P.R.170 is not always heat stable enough to allow application in polyolefins. In HDPE systems formulated at 1/3 SD, the pigment tolerates exposure to 220 to 240°C for one minute. Its tinctorial strength, on the other hand, is excellent. P.R.170 is also occasionally used in polypropylene and polyacrylonitrile spin dyeing in the latter medium, it satisfies the specifications of the clothing and home textiles industries. Besides, P.R.170 lends color to viscose rayon and viscose cellulose it is used for the mass coloration of semisynthetic fibers made of cellulose last but not least, it colors yarns, fibers, and films made of secondary acetate.

The selected scenario comprises the conceptual design of a polymerization process for the production of Polyamide-6 (PA6) from caprolactam [99, 104]. PA6 is a thermoplastic polymer with a world production capacity of more than 4 million tons per year (as of 2006). The most frequent use of PA6 is the production of fibers, which are used in home textiles, bath clothing and for carpet production. In addition, PA6 is used as an engineering construction material if high abrasion resistance, firmness, and solvent stability are required. Glass-fiber reinforced and mineral material-filled PA6 is a preferred construction material if a combination of rigidity, elasticity and refractory quality characteristics are required. 

This label was established by the Thailand Environment Instimte in association with the Ministry of Industry in August 1994. Products made from cloths such as daily clothes, baby clothes, home textiles and also footwear are the main textile product categories, and these products are evaluated under their fife cycle consideration. The label also has high priority national goals such as waste reduction and water and energy conservation (Url-38). 

In contrast to common clothing and home textiles, so-called technical textiles are a growing and important market for high performance products. Technical textiles find application in fields as diverse as medical engineering, aerospace and automotive industry, modem architecture and constmction, filtration, and transport systems. Increasingly super-hydrophobic character is required for these products to... 

Supporting materials play an important role in deciding the quality of garments or products. Hence, proper care should be taken while selecting supporting materials for garments or home textile materials. 

Previously, PCM technology has been used for home textiles such as duvets, pillowcases, sleeping bags, curtains, and furniture, while other appHcations of PCM finished textiles include horse blankets, dog coats/beds, body armor, and helmets. 

The development of PP fibers is favored by a sufficient amount of the basic raw material, low price, easy fiber forming as well as by their physicomechanical properties which enable the wide application in fields of home textiles, technical textiles and clothing. 

A fundamental portion of PP staple fibers is used in home textiles. PP staple fibers of the carpet type are used in ...

The vast majority of woven textiles are two dimensimial, and therefore they can easily be taken up at the weaving machine by a system of breast beams and wound to a fabric beam. In contrast, plenty of applications require a three-dimensional geometry of a woven fabric, which can be specified as a kind of shell, having little wall thickness and a large curvilinear surface area. Those fabrics are not only used for clothes. Large quantities of home textiles and technical textiles also require processing of two-dimensional fabrics to final three-dimensional shell type products. 

The first one could be called Tow-cost smart textiles that will be produced for the general public and integrated mostly into clothes and home textiles the second one will be dedicated to special uses with higher cost and better added value. Today we can see just a few products available in the market smart textiles have not yet been fuUy developed, particularly from the point of view of reliability, and they are not really ready for the market. There are hundreds and hundreds of prototypes that are more or less reliable, in research laboratories, but the scale-up has not yet been done. Therefore, an important effort is necessary to put some of those prototypes to the market, to make them more robust and reliable and probably most importandy to produce them in large series at low cost. 

Textile electronics is another exciting area of apphcation. Fibrous diodes and transistors have already been developed in different laboratories. Flexible sensors and actuators (textile displays, heating fabrics) will in the future be part of our clothes, car interiors and home textiles. Therefore, flexible textile-based electronic circuits will be fully integrated to fabrics and connected to databases and servers making possible new ways to utilize clothing and other textiles. 

Jute can be used not only in its traditional materials, but also for the production of other value-added products such as pulp and paper, geotextiles, composites and also home textiles. Jute has been employed for centuries as a packaging material. In recent times it is found to be a valuable aid to sound enviromnental management. 

Business and brand growth for the future will come from increasing Tencel s menswear market share and also in further developments within home textiles. In addition, special finishes and processing routes will enable Tencel to work with a broader supply chain and expand its own capabilities into new sectors. Strategically, the company believes that Tencel will be one of the most trusted fibres of the future as it continually reinforces the importance of sustainability and its natural roots. Link these benefits to the ultimate... 

In textiles, the newly developed processing systems, becoming ever less complex and cost effective is likely to see a continued market penetration of this fibre type into a widening range of fabric and product types. The use of lyoceU fibres in the home textile market is expected to see significant growth, where the comfort properties can deliver tangible consumer benefits. 

The American Apparel Footwear Association (AAFA) recently pubhshed the eleventh edition of the AAFA Restricted Substances List (RSL), covering apparel, footwear, travel goods, home textiles, and other fashion accessories. The updated RSL was released ahead of AAFA s International Product Safety and Environmental Compliance Conference in Dhaka, Bangladesh, slated for December 5,2012. The list, which has become a go-to industry resource, together with a growing set of other chemical management tools. 

The RSL includes only those materials, chemicals, and substances that are restricted or banned in finished home textile, apparel, and footwear products because of a regulation or law. In each case, the RSL identifies the most restrictive regulation.

Polyester fiber is the highest volume synthetic textile material used in the world. About 12% of this fiber is used to make cord as reinforcement for rubber tires, conveyor belts, and hose. Of course it is also used extensively in other applications such as clothing, home textiles, and carpets and rugs. 

PA 66 and PA 6 are the most popular PAs, corresponding to more than 90% of PA uses, namely in textiles, carpets, mgs and home textiles, technical fibers, engineering plastics, and films. 

Fabrics containing PCMs have been used in a variety of applications including apparel, home textiles and technical textiles (Table 2.2).
