Technical textiles in Pakistan
• Although Pakistan’s potential in the field of technical textiles is immense but it is in the developing phase. Pakistan has always been a formidable force in the field of conventional cotton based textiles.
Technical Textile Society-NTU
Difference b/w conventional &technical textiles • Unlike conventional textiles used traditionally for clothing or furnishing,
technical textiles are used basically on account of their specific physical and functional properties.
Conventional Textiles Technical Textiles

Dams • Geotextiles are used in
the construction of dams as concrete reinforcements.
• Used either in powdered or compact form.
Technical Textile Society-NTU
Roads
• Geotextiles are being used in the construction of roads.
• Lahore Kalar-kahar Motorway.
Technical Textile Society-NTU
Mechanism behind road construction
• Geotextiles fabric sheets are used due to their inherent stiffness.
• This does not let the roads deform easily, even if they are subjected to heavy traffic flow.
Technical Textile Society-NTU
Prevention of soil erosion
• Lining of riverbanks can be done with Geotextiles to prevent soil erosion due to floods or other climatic conditions.
Technical Textile Society-NTU
A chance lost!
• The damages due to recent floods could have been curtailed to a certain extent if geotextiles were given a chance!
Technical Textile Society-NTU
Prevention of soil erosion
• Erosion causes soil’s humus layer to erode away leaving the land barren/unavailable for cultivation.
Technical Textile Society-NTU
Prevention of soil erosion
• Geotextile sheets are used in plains, hilly or coastal areas to prevent soil erosion.
Technical Textile Society-NTU
Geotech market

Technical Textile Society-NTU
Hometech market
• The market is fairly mature in Western economies.
• The growth in emerging economies such as India and China is expected to accelerate.
Technical Textile Society-NTU
Indutech
• The textile materials used in industries are known as indutech.
• Generally industech are used in purifying poisonous gases at high temperature.
Technical Textile Society-NTU
Used in chimneys
• Most poisonous gases are discharged into the atmosphere at very high temperatures.
• Common materials can’t withstand such temperatures without melting.
Technical Textile Society-NTU
Indutech has the remedy
• To solve this problem heat resistant textile materials with small pore sizes are used to filter hot poisonous gases.
Technical Textile Society-NTU
Used as high strength ropes

Technical Textile Society-NTU
How its done?
• The walls of the room of the patient is lined with fabric sheets made of these textiles.
Technical Textile Society-NTU
Hernia
• The disease known as hernia makes the abdomen muscles weak.
Technical Textile Society-NTU
Hernia
• Weak muscles cannot even hold the pressure of the intestines.
Technical Textile Society-NTU
Development in Treatment Method
• The scientists have carried out the preparation of artificial hernia mesh (a fabric).
Technical Textile Society-NTU
Mechanism
• It lets the abdomen muscles develop and takes up the pressure.
• Instead of letting it being transferred to the slowly developing abdomen muscles.
Technical Textile Society-NTU
Curing hernia
• In this way the weakened muscles get time to develop fully.
Technical Textile Society-NTU

• After this time span it is dissolved into non toxic materials.
Technical Textile Society-NTU
No daily injections
• The greatest advantage of this technique is that patient doesn’t have to take insulin injections daily!
