This presentation discusses clothtech, a category of technical textiles used in apparel and footwear manufacturing. Clothtech includes materials like interlinings, shoe fabrics, elastic fabrics, and lining fabrics that are further processed and bonded using thermoplastic powders. Common applications include components of shoes like shoe laces and interlinings, as well as sewing threads, zippers, velcro, labels, and umbrella cloth for clothing. Properties required for clothtech include stability at high temperatures and pressures, abrasion resistance, durability, and solvent resistance. The global market for clothtech is estimated to be around $8.3 billion and consumption is expected to grow slowly between 2000-2010, focused in low-cost app

4. CLOTHTECH :
Clothtech is a grouping of technical textiles for further processing to
(intermediate) products in apparel and shoe industry. Multi-layer substrates
are bonded by thermoplastic powders. This is usually the blend of
polyester, modal, viscose, nylon, etc.
 Typical applications are interlinings, shoe fabrics, lingerie, elastic- and
inelastic fabrics, lining fabrics, workwear garments or temperature
sensitive leather goods, etc.

5. Advantage of Clothtech :
 It provides good performance and safety,
 Reduce the weight of the car,
 Enhance the comfort and aesthetics and provide advanced insulation,
 Fire Retardancy and resistance to water, fuels, extremes of temperature
and abrasion.

Taiwan, & Indonesia. 11

12. Finishing Process
Basic finish:
 Improve the surface appearance, function or texture of a fabric.
 Include mercerizing, calendaring, napping,
cropping, embossing, sanding.
Dry Finishing:
 The cloth is handle by dry condition.
 Include perching, burling, specking, mending,
calendaring, glazing, singeing.

13. Market
 Technical textile consumption under clothtech is estimated at Rs 6570 crore.
 Sewing thread accounts for 60% consumption of clothtech, followed by labels 19%,
interlining 8% ,elastic narrow fabric 6% , shoe laces and zip fasteners 5%and Velcro
and umbrella cloth 2%.
 World consumption is forecast to slowly from 1.2 mln tonnes in 2000 to 1.7 mln
tonnes in 2010 with a value of US $ of 8.3 bln.
 Consumption will be focused in low cost garment assembly location.
