Adequate control of the environment inside an aircraft ensures the comfort of the passengers and flight crew. Fuselage skin temperatures can range between –60°F when in flight to 160°F when parked in direct sunlight, threatening the cabin’s internal temperature. Additionally, the aircraft’s engine and the aerodynamics of flight generate a considerable amount of noise, causing discomfort for passengers and crew if proper insulation is neglected.

Thermal protection systems are produced using a variety of fabric products that offer reliable protection from extreme temperatures as well as weight efficiency. Here, we will discuss the common applications of thermal protection systems as well as the various fabrics and products from which they are made.

In the automotive industry, driver and passenger safety is a paramount concern. To mitigate the risk of harm to life and limb, automotive manufacturers employ high-quality technical textiles that are designed to meet demanding performance and safety requirements.

Tires are an essential part of any vehicle’s performance. They have to handle the dimensional forces from driving and be light enough to meet fuel efficiency and performance requirements. As vehicles become heavier and more complex, they require new industrial tire solutions. As the primary tire material, rubber alone is no longer sufficient to keep up with modern tire applications. For example, many tire manufacturers use supportive fabrics such as chafer strips and bead wraps to increase the performance and the durability while reducing the overall weight of the tire.  Furthermore, the push toward environmentally-friendly renewables has inspired a tire revolution emphasizing green, lightweight, durable tire materials. This guide will discuss how tire fabrics are evolving, the advantages the materials offer, and how Tex Tech is leading the way in tire fabric capabilities.
