Thus, as an example, there were no German investments in the United States in explosives. As yet little research and development were undertaken by German companies in the United States, the only exception being the testing of dyestuff products for the textile industry. Basic research was done in Germany. 

The development of the submerged fermentation technique resulted in tremendous progress in the field of industrial enzymology. This technique was used in the early 1950s for the production of bacterial amylases for the textile industry. 

Long fibre cotton 20-50 mm in length and 0.01-0.04 mm dia., which is the raw material for the textile industry. Waste from this cotton is utilized in the production of certain sorts of high viscosity nitrocellulose, e.g. dynamite nitrocotton. 

In addition to problems associated with water supply and pollution control, the increasing cost and decreasing supply of energy represents a major problem for the textile industry. Energy requirements for the United States textile industry in 1971 (most recent comprehensive data) were equal to approximately 6/ million barrels of oil [2). Industry is heavily dependent on petroleum products and natural gas (the fuel currently in shortest supply) for a major part of process energy requirements. If the industry is to adapt to the shortages or curtailments of energy, new processes or process modifications must be implemented on a broad, industry-wide scale. 

In 1999, U.S. consumption of ethylene glycol totaled 5.5 billion lb. Of that, 1.5 billion lb (28%) was used in the production of polyester bottles, primarily for soft drinks. Polyester fiber applications accounted for 1.4 billion lb (26%), primarily for the textile industry. Polyester film and miscellaneous applications consumed another 0.4 billion lb (7%). Antifreeze applications have held steady at approximately 1.6 billion lb over the last 20 years, and have become relatively less important with time than the polyester applications. This trend is expected to hold in the future. Increased demand for polyester bottles is expected to fuel growth in the United States, and bottle and textile applications are expected to fuel growth in other areas of the world.

Diethanolamine is used in the production of surface-active agents and lubricants for the textile industry as an intermediate for rubber chemicals as an emulsifier as a humectant and softening agent as a detergent in paints, shampoos, and other cleaners and as an intermediate in resins and plasticizers. 

Production The most important sources of crude C. are cotton and bast plants flax, ramie, jute, hemp (at present still very small amounts) for the textile industry and wood for the paper and pulp industry, in smaller amounts from bagasse. The isolation of C. from wood needs a series of processes in order to separate C. from lignin and polyoses.
