Weaving, braiding, machine knitting and felting<\/h2>\n
Three bundles of fibres extracted from coniferous tree bark, braided to form a kind of cord \u2013 the oldest textile-technology product to date is about 40,000 years old. The textile fragment was recently discovered in the south of France and proves that humans have surrounded themselves with textile-technology products since the beginning. And until the present day.<\/p>\n
Elementary: Manufacturing method<\/h3>\n
In applications where we use textiles not so much for fashion and decorative purposes, but instead because of their technical and functional properties, we speak of technical textiles.
\nIn vehicle construction, space technology, sports articles, road construction, medical products \u2013 textiles or textile composites can be found wherever you look.<\/p>\n
The elementary distinguishing feature of technical textiles is to the production technology used. In textile products, the raw materials are joined together by weaving, braiding, knitting or felting. Natural or synthetic fibres often form the material basis, but leather or metallic yarns can also be processed in the same way.<\/p>\n
Weaving<\/h2>\n
During weaving, a flat textile is created from two thread systems crossing each other at a 90\u00b0 angle: warp and weft. The warp threads run in the longitudinal direction of the woven textile, the weft threads in transverse direction. In most cases, weaving is relatively dense so that a closed textile appearance is achieved.<\/p>\n
