An interesting and astethic appealing application is the use of textile membranes for roof
construction. This area is also referred to as textile architecture. PVC coated high tenacity
PES, teflon coated glass fibre fabrics or silicone coated PES are used for their low creep
properties. Splendid examples of such construction are found in football stadia, airports and
hotels. Domestic consumption of Buildtech segment has been estimated at Rs 1,726 crore.
Consumption of HDPE tarpaulins is estimated at Rs 650 crore, accounting for around of the
total segment.
Utility: Buildtech products offer characteristics such as lightness, strength and resilience as
well as resistance to many factors such as defamation, creep, degradation by chemicals and
pollutants in the air, rain or other construction material as well as the effects of sunlight &
acid is much useful in construction of permanent and temporary buildings as well as
structures.

1. Architectural membranes
High-strength, high-modulus textile fabrics are increasingly being used in the Building and
construction industry as are placement for more traditional materials, Such as wood, concrete,
masonry and steel. The mechanical properties of fabrics made With aramid carbon and glass
fibres, combined with cross-linking resin systems to form a Composite, provide civil
engineers with a range of new materials that offer high strength to weight, High stiffness to
weight, and extreme flexibility in design and used. Fabrics for sun protection made of
polyester and combined with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) Or polytetrafluroethylene(PTFE)
coatings offer many applications and provide function combined With design to modern
architecture, where flexible roofs and wall coverings are a feature.

Cunningham covers are the experts when it comes to transport tarpaulins. Transport
tarpaulins are one of the many product which Cunningham originally provided and over the
past 40 years we have produced the most effective transport tarpaulins in the industry.
Individually made
The rich color used in the fabrics has an outstanding color fastness.
Application: mostly used as folding arm awing for shops and restaurants, window
awning, umbrellas, passage awnings etc.
The blackout effect makes it possible to create any kind of desired visual effect by
artificial light inside the tent, even at day time.
100% waterproof
Good UV properties
Safeguards from dust and other falling particles from the top

consumer and other goods. It ranges from synthetic bags used for industrial packaging to jute
sacks used for packing food grains.
The technical textile products covered under Packtech are as given below:
FIBC
Leno bags
Wrapping fabric
Tea-bags
Technical textiles consumption under Packtech is estimated at Rs 14,067 crore. Woven sacks
(excluding FIBC) account for around 50% of the technical textiles consumption under
Packtech followed by Jute hessian and sacks (including Food grade jute bags) with around
30%
share.
Utility: It provides Innovative packing solutions such as oxygen scavenging, packaging for
foodstuffs and anti-static packaging for computer equipment. With the advantage of moisture
proof quality they are used for packing moisture sensitive goods.

PP/HDPE printed sandwich bags are made by sandwiching PP and HDPE. They have a very
good appearance and are used for packaging costlier products like pesticides, seeds, wheat
flour, high-end chemicals, etc. They may also be used for secondary packaging of smaller
1kg
bags.
2) FIBC
Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBC), popularly known as Jumbo Bags, is similar
to the HDPE/PP bags but that of a larger size. FIBCs are one of the most cost effective and
ideal types of packaging for shipping and storing dry bulk products. They can be produced
from either tubular or flat polypropylene (PP) woven fabrics. These fabrics can be coated or
uncoated and vary in terms of weights depending upon the requirements of the Safe Working
Load (SWL), or Safety Factor (SF).
Jumbo Bag
There are three types of FIBC bags:
1. Panel Type
2. Circular woven
3. Baffle type (Square bags)
These bags have capacities ranging from 500-4000 kgs. The weight of fabric varies from
180-275 gsm. FIBCs can vary from 900 gms to 3 kgs in weight depending upon the bag
properties
and
weight to
be carried.
Advantages of FIBC:
1. Low cost of material handling from the manufacturer to the end user, inclusive of
wastage of material
2. Easy filling and discharge
3. Savings in loading/unloading time due to ease of handling
4. Low weight packing for transport
5. Built in safety factor of at least 5:1 on nominal load
6. Transportation of empty FIBCs is cheap and space saving
7. No requirement of pallets when compared to small bags self supporting
8. Good chemical and organic resistance
9. Eco-friendly, since product is recyclable
10. Can be used for storage in open air (if UV stabilised)
Uses of FIBC:
3) Leno bags
Leno bags are excellent for packing & preserving vegetables like potato, onion, ginger,
garlic, cabbage etc. and fruits like pineapple, citrus fruits, raw mango, coconut etc. The Leno
Bag is made of netted fabric of virgin Polypropylene (PP) with color Masterbatch.
Leno bag
Advantages of a Leno Bag:
1. Superior aesthetics
2. Excellent mechanical properties
3. Chemically Inert
4. Ease in handling & storage
5. Reuse & recyclable
6. Cost Effective
7. Suitable for dry skin vegetables (Potato, Onion, Garlic etc.)
8. Suitable for cold storage
4) Wrapping fabric
Wrapping fabric is made out of HDPE/PP, cotton canvas, etc. Unlaminated PP/HDPE Woven
Fabric is mainly used for wrapping of paper rolls, paper bundles, steel coils, tyres, yarn cones
etc. Wrapping fabric weighs 50 to 200 gsm and its size varies from 20 to 210 cms. The fabric
is generally packed in roll form and can be run on automatic cutting and stitching
machines. Clear Woven Sheets (Natural Woven Laminated Sheets) are used for packing of
used clothes
etc.
These fabrics are widely used in industries such as paper bundles, wrapping of paper rolls,
steel coils, yarn cones, tyres etc. These fabrics can be utilized with automatic cutting &
stitching machines for manufacturing bags too.
5) Jute hessian and sacks (including Food grade jute bags)
Jute Hessian also termed as Burlap is a finer quality jute fabric that has been long used as the
most preferred packaging material for all kinds of goods. Hessian is used for bags and many
other coarse fabric uses, such as wrappers, wall coverings, etc. Presently, shopping bags are
being made out of hessian fabrics. It is also used in the upholstery and home furniture. Also
available in "dyed" or "bleached" form and treated with vegetable oil, Burlap meets the latest
international standards
for
food
safety.
Jute sacks
A range of heavy jute fabrics either in plain or twill weaves manufactured by using coarse
jute fibre in larger percentage than used for manufacturing tarpaulin, hessian or such light
fabrics. Sacking refers to the coarser and heavier cloth, used primarily for sacks for packing
materials, which do not need special protection, but has higher weight. Jute bagging material
is in demand because of the openness of the weave, which allows air to circulate while
protecting the contents.
Jute sack
Sacking bags, specifically used for the purpose of storing agro-based products, are known as
Hydro carbon free bags that have been treated with vegetable oils to destroy the harmful
effect of hydrocarbons. Thus sacking bags have great demand not just in the cement industry
but also in the agro-based
industries.
Soft luggage
7) Tea-bags
Tea bags are sold by organised tea producers to the high-end consumers. Tea bags consist of
a filter paper pouch with a thread, which holds the tea powder and a tag. The tea bag is
dipped in hot water / milk to produce the beverage.
Tea bag
Tea bag filter paper is made with a blend of wood and vegetable fibers. The vegetable fiber is
bleached pulp abaca hemp, a small plantation tree grown for the fiber, mostly in the
Philippines
and
Colombia.
Heat-sealed tea bag paper usually has a heat-sealable thermoplastic such as PVC or
polypropylene, as a component fiber (100% non-woven technical textile) on inner side of the
teabag surface.
