In other words, you will create a “reverse greenhouse,” soaking yourself from the inside of your protective garment. The only way to stay warm and dry is to keep the external water out while allowing water created internally by your hard- working body an escape route.

    16 Textiles in defence* Richard A Scott Defence Clothing and Textiles Agency, Science and Technology Division, Flagstaff Road, Colchester, Essex CO2 7SS, UK 16.1 Introduction To be prepared for War is one of the most effectual means of preserving Peace (George Washington, 1790)1 Defence forces on land, sea, or air throughout the world are heavily reliant on tech- nical textiles of all types – whether woven, knitted, nonwoven, coated, laminated, or other composite forms. Technical textiles offer invaluable properties for military land forces in particular, who are required to move, live, survive and fight in hostile environments. They have to carry or wear all the necessities for comfort and sur- vival and thus need the most lightweight, compact, durable, and high performance personal clothing and equipment. The life-critical requirements for protecting indi- viduals from both environmental and battlefield threats have ensured that the major nations of the world expend significant resources in developing and providing the most advanced technical textiles for military use. 16.2 Historical background Military textile science is not new, and one of the earliest documented studies can probably be credited to Count Rumford, or Benjamin Thompson. Rumford was an American army colonel and scientist who issued a paper in 1792 entitled ‘Philo- sophical Transactions’, which reported on the importance of internally trapped air in a range of textile fabrics to the thermal insulation provided by those fabrics.2 He was awarded the Copley Medal for his paper, as the significance of his discovery was recognised immediately. * Copyright MOD (1997) DCTA, Colchester, Essex CO2 7SS 426 Handbook of technical textiles 16.2.1 Pre-Twentieth century Up until the end of the 19th century military land battles were fought at close quar- ters by individual engagements.

  • ALDI Textiles
    ALDI Textiles ALDI Textiles Guideline 2 Aloe Vera. Recognises the demand all on its own. A Aloe vera micro capsules are attached to the textile fibres using a binder. The friction from wearing causes the microcapsules to burst and release the moisturising substance. The advantage of the microcapsules is the fact that the encapsulated substance is only released when the fabric is mechanically stressed. Through the addition of the aloe vera capsules, the garment hydrates and moisturises the skin. Anti-Pilling. Reduces pilling. A Anti-pilling is a special finishing process for reducing the formation of pilling, meaning lint, in predominantly synthetic materials. This is primarily achieved through a mechanical process or heat treatment. ALDI Textiles Guideline 3 Breathable. Keeps you dry and keeps moisture away. B Breathable fabrics are defined as textiles which possess certain physiological properties which above all wick moisture away from the skin. Such materials may also be water-resistant and therefore protect against rain. See also: Cool & Fresh, COOLMAX® ALDI Textiles Guideline 4 Cotton. The all-rounder among textiles. C Cotton is derived from the soft seed hair of the cotton plant. The plant thrives in countries with a sub-tropical climate, such as the USA, Egypt, India, and South Africa, and in terms of volume is one of the most important raw textiles materials in the world. The quality of cotton wool is dependent on its fineness, strength, fibre length and consistency. See also: Wool, virgin wool, organic cotton, Pima cotton PROPERTIES: It is skin-friendly: Due to its softness, it is very pleasant on the skin.

The arrivals increased sharply to around 200,000 bales dragging prices lower. The spot price traded around Rs. 42,800 per candy. The effect was clearly visible on the futures contract. The most active March future which made an intraday high of Rs. 21,300 per bale ended the session lower at Rs. 21080 per bale. We believe profit booking at the futures contract amid expectation of higher supply has pulled the cotton price lower. However, from the global front initially the front month contract traded higher to mark an intraday high of 77+ cents per pound however later during the day the contract corrected to end the session lower at 76.12 cents per pound amid sharp profit booking.
