PRODUCT GROUPS

INDUSTRIAL TEXTILES
The widest usage area of technical textiles is industrial applications.
Technical textiles are always demanded by factories for their special textures, for filtering and cleaning processes as well as for their features such as having ability to be transported on tape and classified acoording to their sizes.
New enviroment regulations highlight nonwoven filters, which almost have unlimited usage areas. Nonwovens offer solutions not only for dust but also gas and oil filtrations.

HOME / FURNITURE TEXTILES
Synthetic fiber use in home textiles is also increasing. The new trend in home textiles is fire blocker featured fabrics.
Domestic use of nonwovens has doubled many times in the last decade. From carpet bottoms to furniture skeletons, beds to kitchenware and bathroom equipments, many products incorporate unwearable textile goods.
Besides, some unexpected innovative products will be introduced. For example; walls will be covered with special carpets from now on.

AGRICULTURAL TEXTILES
More technical textile products are required for protecting, collecting and saving in agriculture, afforestation and fishing sectors. In agricultural textile industry, especially the consumption of nonwovens which are developed for fish farm equipments and agricultural applications is speedly inreasing. During studies of preventing erosion and afforestation agricultural textiles are used whilst carrying plants together with their soil. In greenhouse coverings, technical textiles which climatize the environment are rapidly taking place of conventional plastic coverings.

GEO TEXTILES
Within all categories, the most speedly growing production group of the recent years is geotextiles. In spite of the limited product range, high consumption rate speeds up the return of first investment.

Geotextiles which were solely being used in developed countries, will be prefered by all countries now for their facilities and costs. Substructure investments of developing countries introduced the unanticipated need for geotextiles.

Geotextiles are taking their place in ground building for isolation and stability. Continuously increasing geotextile need makes it rational to have local productions in countries. In recent years especially in highway adjudications, it is obligatory to use geotextiles and this indicates that the demand for this market will increase rapidly.

BUILDING TEXTILES
Today the use of technical textiles and nonwovens are not limited with isolation products. Nonwovens with their stablility between different surfaces are prefered now against classical filling materials.

Nonwovens are the favorites of building industry with their great resistance to different climate conditions.Besides, in recent years more composit materials are being used in quake-against building applications.

Special fiber is added during mixing period of ready concrete in order to increase its strength.

APPAREL TEXTILES
Linings, waddings and interlinings, which have been very popular in textile, keep their importance with additional developed features.
Nonwovens and technical textiles in apperal category always find high profile customers compared to the others.
In this category, where woven products are used intensively, high performance clothes such as sports and military purpose ones give hope for the future with high level production engineering.
By the effect of changing costs and new technologies, daily clothes will be the surprise product of this category.
Another development is the increase in usage of nonwoven products in shoes and leather garment sector for their comfort and conditioning effects.

FOOD TEXTILES
In recent years, nonwoven products are commonly used in food packaging. Some of these products are edible as well.
Easy to clean nonwovens are preferred in conveyance of foods during production proc- esses and for their shelf lives.
The first samples of technical textile products used with protection purposes in food heating, boiling and service received great attention. They are expected to form the fastest growing category within food textiles due to their hygienic benefits and because of being a brand new product group.

COSMETICS / HYGIENE TEXTILES
Nonwoven products used in personal care and cosmetics for years, are drawing more consumer attention with their new characteristics.
Increased quota of disposable products in hygiene and cosmetics lead to changes in consumer habits. Due to this reason, the sector is anticipated to have a high growth rate parallel to expanding production capacities.
Nonwovens are used in lieu of simple textile products employed in domestic and out-door cleaning and for cleaning purposes at factories, offices, etc. This group will develop with powder and liquid sensitive products.

MEDICAL / HYGIENE TEXTILES
The market for health and hygiene products is growing parallel to the increasing world population. The need for high standards and complex technical textiles in medical procedures is increasing. In parallel, demand for medical textiles in developing country markets is rising.
The hygienic textiles market is a candidate for an exponential growth with the rapid spread of new products.

TRANSPORT TEXTILES
Technical textiles in automotive were generally aimed at isolation and covering. Now comfort and style is at focus as well.

Transportation sector is the most significant market for technical textiles with automobiles, trains, boats and planes.

ECOLOGICAL TEXTILES

Ecological textile products category which includes technical textiles that are used for enviromental protection applications covers various kinds of products for dust and smoke filtration, for preventing erosion, covering toxic waste, etc.
Ecological products get attention with their high profits. Technical textiles in this industry become smarter day by day, so it will be possible to filtrate different kinds of waste particles, which environment standards haven’t taken into consideration before.

PACKAGING TEXTILES
Sacks and bags made of traditional jut, cotton or natural fiber gradually leave their place to modern synthetic fibers.
