1. Protective Textiles – An Introduction
► What are Protective Textiles?
► Protective textiles comprise clothing and other textile-based systems whose main function is to
protect the users from hazards such as civil and military emergency interventions, hospitals
and manufacturing environments that require insulation from bacterial and viral contamination.
► Applications of Protective Textiles
► Thermal Protection e.g. flame, convective and radiant heat protection (firefighters etc.)
► Biological Protection (Protection from deadly Bacteria/Virus)
► Radiation Protection (chemical, radioactive contamination)
► Electrostatic Protection (Protection against electro-static charges)
► Invisibility Protection (High Visibility warning clothing)
► Mechanical Protection (Ballistic protection, cut resistant gloves etc.)
► Environmental Protection (Astronaut's suits, petrochemical, gas, refineries, adverse weather
etc.)

1. Protective Textiles – An Introduction
► Selection factors for designing of the protective textiles:► Clothing configuration of components and options
► Sizes
► Ease of donning on and off
► Clothing construction
► Accommodation of other selected ensemble equipment
► Comfort and restriction of mobility
► Environment type from which protection is needed.
► Fibres used for making protective textiles:► Meta-Para aramides – Nomex: high resistance, tear, tensile strength, expensive,
► Wool viscoses polyamide – marlan : repelency of molten metal, heat insulation, transparency.
► Glass fiber - High resistance, insulating.
► Modacrylic cotton – Marko wiki: Marko : electric arc flash protection, comfort, flame-resistant,
efficient, skin friendly, antistatic.
► Polyamide – Kevlar : extreme resistance, low ageing

2. Types of Protective Textiles
► Ballistic Protection Garments► Garments manufactured on the basis of type and level of the threat
caused by projectile.
► Made of high performance fibres such as Kevlar, Spectra, Zylon,
Dyneema
► Armor is made of hard and soft parts. Hard Part has ceramic plate with
polymer backing, which prevents the plate from brittle fragmentation.
► For knives and needles (cut resistance), tight weave with film
lamination and abrasive coating are commonly used to improve
penetration resistance.
► Physical requirements► Light weight and low bulk
► High durability and dimensional stability
► Good handle and drape
► Low noise emission

2. Types of Protective Textiles
► Blunt Impact Protection Textiles
► Such textiles protect the wearer against injuries caused by
blunt impacts.
► For law enforcement, corrections, military, and other
personnel involved in emergency response operations, the
protection against blunt impact threats can be a matter of life
or death.
► To quantify the levels of protection of a Blunt Trauma PPE,
users and industry rely on technical standards. A balance
between protection and functionality allow users to have good
flexibility and mobility.
► Good air ventilation underneath the PPE suit can protect
users against heat stroke or hyperthermia.
► This includes protection from vehicle accidents, falls, physical
assaults with weapons like bats, metal bars etc.

2. Types of Protective Textiles
► Pressure Hazard Protection
► Used for protection against extremely high and
extremely low external pressures such as deep
see diving, space, fighter aircrafts etc.
► Fully air impermeable suits and can withstand
extreme conditions and typically have their own
air supply via a dedicated support system.
► Generally these suits are made using the textile
materials such as Nylon tricot knitted fabric,
Spandex, Urethane-coated Nylon, Dacron,
Neoprene-coated Nylon, Mylar, Gortex, Kevlar,
Nomex.

2. Types of Protective Textiles
► Environmental Hazard Protection
► Generally used for survival and operation in temperatures
below –30 °c.
► Generally such garments are multilayered and consist of :
► Non-absorbent inner layer
► Middle insulating layer capable of trapping air but
permeable to moisture
► An outer layer that is impermeable to wind and water
Page 10
2. Types of Protective Textiles
► Fire Hazard Protection► Flame resistance in fabrics is achieved using flame resistant
materials and fibres such as:
► Fire Fighter’s clothing consists of flame resistant inner layer which is composed of moisture barrier and thermal barrier and lining.
► Outer Shell provides flame resistance, thermal resistance and
mechanical resistance.
► This layer must be suitable for wet, dry, hot and cold
conditions and is commonly made from kevlar and nomex.
► The moisture barrier to keep the fire fighter dry and the
material must prevent water penetration.
► The thermal barrier provides the main protection against heat.
► Nomex ► Kevlar► Glass► Polyester ► Polyamide
► Carbon ► Propane treated
cotton► Modacrylic ► Polypropylene

2. Types of Protective Textiles
► Chemical and Biological Hazard Protection
► Such protective textiles protect the human body from direct contact with hazardous substances
such as infectious agents such as bacteria and chemicals.
► These textiles are used in the following instances:
► Emergency chemical and biological hazard response
► Handling of chemical waste
► Acid baths and other treatments in electronics manufacturing
► Equipment leaks or failures
► Handling of liquid chemicals in manufacturing
► Application of pesticides and other agricultural chemicals.
► A typical chemical and biological protective textile consists of three main components:
► A textile outer layer, which can be either woven or non-woven
► An inner layer of protective material
► A textile liner fabric.
Page 12
2. Types of Protective Textiles
► Chemical and Biological Hazard Protection
► There are 4 types of protective materials with their
different capabilities:
► Air- permeable materials (For Liquid Repellency)
► Semi permeable materials (Protection from Gases)
► Selectively permeable materials (SPMS) (Protective
barrier to chemicals, while only moisture from body
escapes out)
► Impermeable materials (Protection from warfare
agents)
Page 13
2. Types of Protective Textiles
► Electrical Hazard Protection
► Electrical hazards include:
► Electromagnetic protection
► Electrostatic protection
► Such protective garments shall consist of conductive
fibres such as carbon fibre, synthetic fibres, metal fibres
with carbon core and conductive polymer
► Another method of making such garments is by the way of
coating or laminating the fabric with high electrical
conductivity materials or application of conductive finish to
the fabric
Page 14
2. Types of Protective Textiles
► Nuclear Radiation Protection
► Designed to protect people working in:
► Nuclear plants,
► X-ray departments
► Conventionally transmitted radiation is shielded by
placing a heavy radiation barrier (lead) between the
radioactive dirt and the worker
► However, a new product ‘Demron’ is also being used
these days for the purpose
► Demron is made by laminating a polymer film
between a woven and nowoven fabric wherein the
polymer is a composite of polyurethane and
polyvinylchloride, that block x-rays, low energy
gamma, and alpha and beta emissions
