Characteristics and classification
Industrial fabrics can be divided according to different characteristics - for example, by purpose. Then they will be with a special impregnation that prevents rotting, getting wet or burning. The function is in its name.
By composition
Depending on the composition there are several types:
- Mixed natural. Usually consists of two components - linen and cotton. An excellent example is tarpaulin used in the manufacture of tents and workwear.
- All natural cotton. Typically used for sewing rags to remove dirt in production.
- Synthetic fibers are made from the fabric of the same name. The peculiarity is its density and resistance to mechanical loads. Can be used for industrial cleaning or for sewing clothes.
Technical heat-resistant fabrics are produced according to special standards and have quality certificates.
| Mixed natural | Natural cotton | Synthetic |
| Clothing, tents, awnings for special equipment | Rags | Rags, overalls |
According to manufacturing technology
Material from flax and tarpaulin is made by impregnating the components. For example, fire-resistant ones are made for firefighters, and moisture-resistant ones for the military.
Synthetic options do not have special impregnation, but are produced with wear resistance in mind. And in the production of cotton, two main rules are observed: hygroscopicity and lack of lint.
By purpose
By purpose it is divided into the following types:
- Tarpaulin is made using special impregnations and is used as a heat-resistant, moisture-resistant product.
- Synthetics can be used for sewing covers or clothing. Dirt-repellent properties.
- Cotton is used for harvesting production.
Types and uses
Typically, each material protects against several factors. And sometimes each of the components serves several purposes. In the article we will look at which one it serves and for what purposes.
Aramid
This material is made from heat-resistant polyamides. Used for sewing clothes for people working in extreme conditions. Resistance to abrasion, mechanical stress, resistance to temperatures. Doesn't take much time to make or maintain.
Note! Over time, after several washes and use for several months, the product loses its strength. Therefore, it is recommended to combine.
Tarpaulin
This is a material consisting of several types of raw materials - cotton, linen, synthetics. -It is usually treated with additional impregnation, which has fire-resistant, water-resistant or other properties. Used in the manufacture of covering components and workwear. Can even be used when sewing gloves or special shoes.
Basalt
This technical fabric is made from basalt threads. The weave of the threads varies. Does not conduct heat, practically does not burn. Resistance to rotting, acids, alkalis.
Note! Raw materials are used in aircraft manufacturing and construction.
Rags
Made from terry or cotton. It is characterized by hygroscopicity, softness, and, according to GOST, complete absence of lint. Used for wiping hands and production equipment from dirt and oil.
