Industrial textiles

These are the specially designed (unconventional) textiles useful in the industrial processes, products and services. Technical textiles are classified with their area of applications, and it is divided into twelve separate categories. Though certain sectors overlap each other. Industrial textiles can act as an component to strengthen other product, or act as a tool similar to filteration, or it can be a product (independaently) sufficing several functions. Indutech has vast application areas like filtration, cleaning, chemical industry, electrical applications and in mechanical engineering. Indutech includes
