Applications of Textiles in Marine Products

This paper reviews some valuable in formation about the Marine Textile in terms of Raw Materials, Construction, Products, Quality Standards, Standard Evaluation method, Manufacturing process, Manufactures, Market informat ion and the Engineering princip le of developing the products used for marine applicat ions made of textile substrates and fibers. 1. Introductions As in other areas of application, fibres are used in functional applications and more overtly in decorative applications in marine industry. Again safety, like flame retardancy is crucial and weight savings are also important requirements, especially in racing craft. As in other forms of transport, co mfort, design and appearance are important in providing passengers with a relaxing at mosphere. To fulfill such mult iple properties in a single sheet composites are formed. So co mposites occupy the maximu m marine market. Developing new outstanding features in composites is a challenging task.
