Natural
fibre composites and its potential as building materials
Increasing concern about global warming, primarily due to deforestation
has led to the ban on use of wood in government buildings. Subsequently,
a large action plan for the development of wood substitute has resulted
in creation of more awareness about the use of natural fibre-based
building materials.
Fibre
applications in technical textiles
The driving force for important fibre developments, especially in
the past two decades has been the ever increasing applications for
fibrous material in non-conventional sectors such as protective
clothing, medical devices and health care products, automotive components,
building material, geotextiles, agricultural devices, sport and
leisurewear, filter media, environmental protection.
Lightweight
nonwovens: H1 technology
H1 needlepunching technology is one of the modern developments in
dry laid nonwoven technologies. The needle zone in the H1 technology
is not flat as in the case of conventional needleloom.
