Abstract

Every type of clothing provide us protection to some extent. Our focus is not concern with clothes(fabrics) who protect us from winter, rain or heat but on the synthesis of protective textile, briefly describing the design of specialized fabric to provide protection from fire, chemicals, nuclear radiations, bullet impact etc. Extensive research is being done to develop the protective clothing for various regular and specialized civilian and military people. The global growth rates of technical textiles are about 4% per year, greater than the growth of home and apparel textiles, which are growing at a rate of 1% per year. The main target of the technical protective fabrics is to improve people safety in their work place. Technical protective fabrics are made up of different kind of fibers, because every blend contains different technical characteristics.
