 Industry Manufacturers use numerous technical textiles in their manufacturing
process. The conveyor belts intended for the line transport of the
granular materials in the chemical, agro-food, mining industries or
cement work are made for example from elastomer and rubber coated
textiles. Also, the driving belts of a big number of industrial plants
consist of polymers strengthened of a supple textile composite.  Protection Practically all the solutions of individual protection can be
reconsidered thanks to the new properties that manage to offer light and
comfortable technical textiles. Therefore, textile protects individuals
from a big number of potential attacks today. It is used to fight
against heat, fire, cold, risks for cuts, perforation and projection of
dangerous products such as metals in fusion, solvents and chemical acids
or flammable volatile materials. Textile is then used for the making of
clothing, gloves and hoods which are intended for the servicemen, the
fire department, the welders, the operators of electronic industries as
well as the sportsmen such as race car drivers and mountaineers.  Medical & Hygiene Thanks
to their blocking effect,
their absorption capacity,
their biocompatibility and
their immobilization capacity,
technical textiles meet many needs in the medical
sector. Because they meet the imperative needs
of water/air-tightness, resistance to splitting
and absence of coagulation in contact with
blood, they have been used for decades in the
composition of vascular, articular and ligamentary
prostheses.  Construction In construction, alone or in composites, technical textiles compete
through their lightness and their durability thanks to traditional
materials such as wood, concrete and steel. They serve as heat or
acoustic insulation, bardage, elements of handling, material of
construction, taut architecture and as protection against fire , solar
radiation and static electricity. Supple, the composites are constituted
of fibres protected by a resin and coated to maintain waterproofness.  Sports and leisure Because they improve comfort, safety and performances thanks to their
lightness, their resistance to abrasion and to tears, their
waterproofness and their permeability to perspiration, technical
textiles find numerous applications in the field of the sport and
leisure activities. They enter into the composition of more and more
sophisticated clothing and adapted to each sports practice, weight gain
and the improvement of the rigidity or the flexibility, thus allowing
the optimising of the performances to the one who wears them. The
conception of textile materials that are both waterproof and breathable
opened the way to numerous outfits that improves the well being of the
individuals. The structure of fabrics with bases of technical textiles
also manages to make the overalls intended for runners and for swimmers
very aerodynamic.  Transport Because they improve comfort and safety, the technical textiles are very
present in the vehicles of transport such as automobiles, trains,
planes or ships. Coated or not, they serve for taking on the elements of
the passenger compartment such as doors, seats, grounds or ceilings.
They are then appreciated for their resistance to the UV, fire, tears,
to stains and ageing as well as for their capacity of sound insulation
and air filtration. Those that resist to the elongation benefit from
controlled porosities or manage to bear the strong requests involved in
the manufacturing of the safety belts, airbags or breaks. The
calendaring of thermoplastic films and the polyvinyl chloride film lends
itself to the finish of dashboards, doorkeepers' panels, rear of seats
and sun visors.  Geotextile In civil engineering, geotextiles improve the mechanical and hydraulic
performance of the grounds. Used for structure support applications,
they allow for the creation of foundations consisting of several ground
layers and of synthetic layers. Within the framework of strengthened
ballasts, they serve for increasing the bearing capacity of the ground.
Interposed between two materials, such as clay and stone for instance,
they prevent their mixture by playing the role of a separator. In the
centres of waste storage, the devices of geomembrane waterproofness work
in association with geotextiles. |

The specific features of CLUBTEX |
|
|
> A very wide offering of complementary technical
skills reinforced by a real determination to innovate which lead to the realisation of shared
technical and / or commercial
projects..
> Gathering together of skills :
1 -
CLUBTEX is a cooperative network
for concrete products:
- Photonic textiles
- Design of a textile covering, inflatable
with helium, 500,000 m3.
- Design
2 - CLUBTEX is in permanent
scanning mode
3 - CLUBTEX comes
together to sell itself better: Example: at Techtextil in Frankfurt,
the year's big event for technical textile,
CLUBTEX groups its members on a collective
stand.
4 - CLUBTEX organises
thematic meetings:
CLUBTEX organises Technology Days for researchers, industrial companies and user/processing
companies in the technical textiles field to favour exchanges and creativity.
> Supported by Nord-Pas de
Calais DRIRE and the Nord-Pas
de Calais Region, the action
of CLUBTEX is a good example of successful
collective endeavour in an industry traditionally
in constant change. |
