12. PROTECH: textiles for personal and propertyprotection

12.1 OVERVIEWProtech encompasses all those textile materials and products used in the productionof protective clothing of various types. The term 'protective clothing' coversgarments and accessories intended to protect people against the elements,

dangerous or hazardous materials, processes or events encountered either duringthe course of their work or during leisure activities. It also encompasses garmentsintended to protect products, the workplace or environment against people (as inthe case of cleanroom garments), as well as people against people (as in the case ofsecurity and defence applications).

12.2 PRODUCTS INCLUDED IN THE APPLICATION AREAWhilst the term 'protective clothing' spans the whole spectrum of solutions,garments included within the Protech application area are confined to those itemswhich employ performance fibres, fabrics or coatings to protect the wearer from theparticular form of hazard with which they are faced. Consequently, low-costcommodity, low performance items, such as cotton gloves and overalls, althoughconsiderable in volume, are excluded from this study.

In terms of end-use, Protech includes textiles that are consumed in both industrial

and consumer (e.g. sporting) applications.

A list of the products included in Protech, together with a brief product description,is provided in Exhibit 12.2.

12.3 MARKET DRIVERS12.3.1 Introduction

The size and growth in the overall market for protective clothing for industrial andother occupational end-uses is a function of a number of macro- and micro-economic factors and geo-political trends:

the level of employment in manufacturing and other non-service industries

the exposure of employees to risks within those jobs

legal or other pressure to wear protective clothing

changing requirements of the police and armed forces in response to increasedviolent crime, terrorism and military activity.

The market for protective clothing used in consumer applications is largely afunction of increased leisure time and increased disposable income.

12.3.2 Decline of "smokestack" industries in developed countriesoffset by increased protection levels

In recent years developed economies have seen a decline in the number of peopleemployed in primary and other traditional "smokestack" manufacturing industries,largely as a result of relatively high labour costs compared to developing countries.This has been accompanied by reduced exposure to danger in the workplacethrough the use of robots, other automation and safety devices.

This negative impact on the demand for protective clothing in developed marketshas been partially offset, however, by a general extension of protection

performance to more conventional workwear used in low risk applications and ahigher level of protection being afforded to those 'more valuable' workersremaining at high risk. This trend is reinforced by a more stringent regulatoryenvironment and greater threats to employers of insurance liability.

Demand for protective clothing in Europe was boosted in the 1990s by theintroduction of the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) at Work Regulations.However this has now largely worked through, and demand has now stabilised.

12.3.3 Standards of worker protection are increasing in developingcountries

In developing countries demand for protective clothing is affected not only byincreased levels of industrialisation but also by an increased awareness of, andwillingness to comply with, Health & Safety and hygiene legislation. This has beenbrought about as a result of a combination of a desire to meet Western standards,and also as a result of increased globalisation in certain industries, such as the oil

and gas sector, where companies implement pan-organisational standards of safetyand protection applicable in all countries in which they operate.

Demand in the Far East and China has also increased as a result of the shift towardsthe production of microelectronics, creating a requirement for cleanroom clothing.China exhibits the greatest prospects for growth across the Protech application area.

12.3.4 Increase in violent crime and military actionThe rising trend in violent crime, combined with increased military operations inareas such as the Middle East in the wake of terrorist activity, have led to increasesin public spending aimed at reducing injuries to police, civil defence, and themilitary. The Bulletproof Vest Partnership (BVP) Grant Act in the United States inthe year 2000 is one such example; this set in place funding of US$50 million a yearup until the year 2004, making funding available to qualifying bodies for thepurchase of bulletproof or stab-resistant vests.

12.3.5 Increase in use of outdoor clothing in day-to-dayapplications

Much of the recent and predicted future growth of the Protech sector stems fromthe increased use of high performing protective fabrics (especially breathablewaterproofs) in every day consumer clothing.

12.4 MARKET SIZE AND TRENDS12.4.1 Dominated by foul weather and hi-vis clothing

In the year 2000, Protech consumed just over 238,000 tonnes of textiles, valued atalmost US$5.2 billion. In terms of volume, foul weather and hi-visibility clothingaccounted for 57 percent of the overall Protech market.

Of the total quantity of materials consumed in this application area in the year2000, synthetic fibres accounted for almost 87 percent.

12.4.2 Variations in growth ratesGrowth prospects for woven fabrics continue to be amongst the best of anyapplication area and unit values continue to increase with the move to moresophisticated and higher performance materials.

However, relatively unsophisticated nonwovens show even greater potential forgrowth as demand for single trip or limited life garments increases in a number ofdirty and hazardous activities where eventual disposal is likely to be preferred tolaundering and re-use.

At present, the trend still seems to be in favour of nonwovens but landfillrestrictions and similar legislation on disposal and recycling could tip the balance theother way.

12.4.3 Growing importance of comfort and design in protectiveclothing

Although guaranteed high levels of performance will remain critical for protective

garments, increased emphasis is being placed on wearer comfort, corporate imageand other design aesthetics. This will involve aspects of both garment design andfabric development, covering such aspects as improved fashionability, improvedbreathability, reduced garment bulk, less rigidity and reduced noise in wear("rustle").

Manufacturers and specifiers of protective clothing are increasing realising the needto supply workers with comfortable garments. Where a garment has to be worncontinually due to the unpredictable nature of the risk involved, comfort is a key

issue which must be addressed. A garment which is uncomfortable, either becauseit is cumbersome, heavy or too hot can increase the risk involved to the wearer asthey may be tempted to roll up the sleeves, undo the fastenings or remove thegarment entirely.

treatments such as Proban and Pyrovatex are expected to qualify for"environmentally friendly" status.

12.4.5 Market polarisationThe market for protective clothing is polarising into highest performance, high priceapplications and low cost, lower performance products for lower risk applications,for example for secondary protection or where protective clothing is being used forthe first time. New entrants to the protective clothing market will find that themiddle market often represents only a small proportion of the total market whilstcurrent solutions are well established at the extreme sectors.

In certain applications there is an increased pressure on prices; many protectiveclothing users/buyers in developed markets are more inclined to downgrade forprice rather than upgrade for performance.

12.4.6 Particulate matter (dust) protectionIn the year 2000 the global market for particulate matter protective clothing

reached an estimated volume of just under 25,000 tonnes. Protection againstharmful dust and particles can be segmented into two main categories:

those garments which protect the wearer from dust and particles in theenvironment, e.g. ceramics and asbestos, through to pharmaceutical and radio-active products manufacture and processing. Face-masks and respirators areincluded within this segment.

those garments used in cleanrooms in the electronics and biological productsindustries where the prevention of contamination of the work environment by theoperator is the main requirement.

There are two main types of materials (known as 'barrier fabrics') used in particulateprotection: fabrics made from tightly woven filament yarns, often incorporating acarbon or stainless steel stripe or grid, such as Klopman's Vektron or Ten Cate'sTecadry; nonwoven polyethylene or polypropylene fabrics, such as DuPont's Tyvek,Kimberley-Clark's Kleenguard, Don & Low's Daltex etc. These fabrics may be used

uncoated for general dust, oil and dirt protection or coated and laminated withspecial polymers and co-extruded films. In the year 2000, nonwoven fabricsdominated this segment, accounting for over 85% of the volume and almost 80%of the value.

Between the years 2000 and 2002, and 2002 and 2004, this particulate matterprotection end-use is forecast to grow in volume terms by 4.7% and 7.1% CAGR,

Flame retardancy in military clothing

All military forces routinely face threats from flames, heat,flash and explosions as an integral part of their operations.Unlike the threats faced by civilian workers who wearflame retardant clothing, the fire threats faced by militarypersonnel are deliberately planned and executed events.

In the case of civilians, any threats from flames orexplosions are predominantly accidental, unplannedevents.

Unlike civilian protective clothing, military clothing canoften be worn for days at a time before being changed.Until recently, durability had always been the first priority;heavyweight twills and ripstop weaves were used, offeringlittle in terms of wearer comfort. Now, however, specifiers

are realising that comfortable soldiers are more efficientand comfort is therefore rising in priority. Soldiers areadvised to use wickable underwear. To increase comfort,any flame retardant garments are worn as far away fromthe skin as possible.

The future of military clothing

Both the US and Canadian military haverecently invested large sums of moneyin developing high-tech fatigues of thefuture. Proposed developments includecamouflage which reacts to changes inits surroundings, high technology chain-mail, uniforms which release antidotesto biological or chemical weapons, andmaterials which can be programmed to

form a cast around a bone injury. Oneof the more radical ideas is a uniformwhich collects soldiers' sweat and turnsit into drinking water.

Garments used in Nuclear, Biological,Chemical (NBC) protection by the

armed forces and other civil defenceorganisations employ a wide varietyof designs and materials, withdifferent countries often adoptingquite different approaches. The lastfew years has seen a considerableamount of development work beingcarried out.

Aside from some impermeable (butyl)fabrics used for gloves, masks andsome de-contamination suits, mostmilitary combat designs are based onmulti-layered constructions consisting

of a woven or knitted textile outer shell and an activated-carbon bearing inner.Fabrics used are required to provide some protection against fire, nuclear flash andwater and liquid penetration whilst also remaining lightweight and breathableenough for use during strenuous activity. Outer materials include: 50% nylon/50%

cotton in the United States; nylon warp/modacrylic weft in the UK; 65% FRviscose/35% aramidin Germany; nylontaffeta in France.

Garments for limitedlengthdecontamination

operations areproduced in butylcovered fabricswhile somedisposabledecontaminationsuits and lowcost/lightweightdesigns for

emergency use andcivil defencepurposes are basedon plastic films e.g.PVC, polyethyleneand polyamide.

Possible introduction of Wildland

clothingIn structural firefighting, firefighters mayonly have to wear a garment for a shortperiod of time before they are called outof the danger area and replaced; the factthat the garment is heavy and hot is nota distinct problem. There is talk in theEuropean firefighting community

regarding the introduction of alighterweight form of firefightingclothing which reduces heat stress and istherefore suitable for use over asustained period of time.

Protection from electrical arcsOne area of protective clothing which has seensignificant research and development over thepast decade is that of electrical arc protection.Workers exposed to electrical arcs can sufferhorrific injuries. The effects of an electrical area

Garments made from flame retardant cotton and blends thereof dominate in lowerperformance applications, accounting for between 38% (United States) and 47%

(Japan) of the total volume in the year 2000. In these areas, emphasis is beingplaced on the increased provision of comfort for the wearer, through the inclusionof fibres such as lyocell or FR viscose. Increased avoidance of heat stress, whichencourages wearers to remove garments or roll up their sleeves, is also an importantissue.

The majority of fire-fighters' turn-out gear is based on a meta-aramid derivative ofsome kind, such as Nomex orKermel. Other examples include

Celanese's PBI which is moreexpensive than other fibres but ismore durable. Increasingly, firebrigades are shying away from usingthe layering of items of clothing toprovide a total level of protection.This is largely because fire officershave no real control over what theirfirefighters are wearing underneath

their turnout gear. If fire servicesdid adopt a layered approach, aninsufficient outer shell worn withoutthe required undergarments maylead to serious injuries or fatalities.

A further sub-segment of flame retardant clothing is that of military clothing. Thisis designed to protect the wearer from flames or heat, often in confined

environments such as inside a tank or armoured personnel carrier, in the event ofbeing struck by a missile or driving over a land mine. Such clothing uses a widevariety of materials including FR cotton, FR viscose and para- and meta-aramids.

12.4.9 Cut and abrasion protection, ballistic and impact protectionGlobal consumption of technical textiles in this segment reached almost 9,000tonnes in the year 2000. The majority of cut and abrasion protection products aregloves, a large proportion of

which are relativelyunsophisticated items whichuse low cost, low performancematerials such as heavy dutywoven cotton on the basisthat they can be replaced on af b

The need for different forms ofprotection

In the United States, the liberal lawsregarding the ownership of firearmsmean that the main threat to policeofficers is from bullets. In Europeand other regions, however, therelatively strict laws on gun

Microfilament yarns have been shown to increase cut resistance.

Chainsaw protective clothing is usually made up of padded layers of ballistic nylonfilament yarn which aim to stop the chain by entanglement before the teethpenetrate the flesh. The layered fabrics are constructed during the garmentmanufacturing process, with loose quilting of the yarn between standard outer shellfabrics of polyester-cotton or Cordura-type nylon. Fabrics made from p-aramidyarns may be used as added outer protection at critical points, e.g. backs of gloves.

The aim of ballistic clothing, or body armour, is to prevent bullets or otherprojectiles such as flechettes or bomb fragments from piercing the body. Body

armour is usually made from plies of woven p-aramid fabric; in 2000 this accountedfor around 75% of the total volume. A more recent innovation is the use of uni-directional fabrics made from UHMWPE yarns such as Dyneema or Spectra. Thesevests are generally lighter in weight than their p-aramid counterparts. Suchmaterials are also used in the production of helmets in the form of composites.Other materials include Zylon which is usually blended due to the high cost of thefibre.

Garments for protection against certain projectiles, such as snipers' bullets, may also

use aramid or ceramic panels which may be inserted into pockets to increasestoppage levels. Certain vests may use non-woven layers. There has been somedevelopment work in the use of 3-D knitting for vests for females to give betterconformability.

Outer fabrics include polyester/cotton, 100% cotton, Nomex and Cordura-typetextured nylon. Higher performance vests may incorporate a breathable membraneor phase-change materials to assist cooling.

An array of new materials, aimed at providing current or enhanced levels ofprotection in lighter-weight products, are being investigated for use in vests, jacketsand helmets. Examples include nano-composites (tiny molecules engineered toperform specific functions) and genetically-engineered fibres such as artificial spidersilk, produced from proteins injected into goats and released in their milk.

Similar materials to those used in ballisticclothing are also used in stab and puncture

resistant garments to protect thoseworking in law enforcement. There is anincreasing need for effective puncture andstab resistant clothing for use incorrectional facilities; prison guards aremore likely to be injured or killed withhome-made "sticking" implements

Plasma technology

The direct fluoro-polymer treatment of awhole range of fabrics, from cotton tosynthetics, by plasma techniques toimprove their hydrophobicity offersconsiderable potential to enhance and,

perhaps eventually, replace existinglamination and coating methods.Vacuum plasma systems have a numberof advantages over atmospherictreatments:

greater control over types andranges of treatments

good durability of surface effect productive if fully automated offer more durability than alternative

coating and laminating solutions

can, in some cases, be used onmade-up garments.

12.4.10 Outdoor protection, hi-visibilityIn the year 2000, the value of fabrics used in the global market for outdoor and hi-visibility clothing was an estimated US$3.2 billion. A variety of clothing is used forprotection against the elements and extreme cold conditions, the majority of whichare constructed from low-cost PVC- or PU-coated commodity substrates. Recentyears have seen an increase in the use of a new generation of materials at the topend of the market which combine water- and wind- proofness with breathability,offering new standards in comfort and performance. An even more recentinnovation is soft-shell technology, such as Nextec's Epic film, which providescombined water- and wind-proofness with increased breathability and improved

fabric handle.

Waterproof and breathable fabrics canbe produced by using a microporous orhydrophilic coating or laminate.Microporous coatings or laminates canbe produced by mechanical fibrillation,phase separation, solvent extraction or

solvent exchange. With the exceptionof Gore-Tex (PTFE) and Sympatex(polyester), most membranes orcoatings tend to be PU-based.

Hydrophilic polyurethane is mainlyused as a solid coating and can beapplied to a wide base of fabricsincluding filament woven nylon and

polyester, texturised fabrics andmicrofibre grades. Hydrophilicpolyurethane layers can also be appliedto microporous films and coatings toseal off the surface pores. Thisimproves the waterproof propertieswithout substantially reducing thebreathability of the structure.

High visibility clothing is worn by people working in dark or poorly lit environmentswhere there is a requirement for the wearer to be highly conspicuous. Examples ofsuch end-uses include mining, building and construction, traffic police, airportworkers, and engineers working by railway lines. This category also includes thosegarments worn in non-vocational activities such as sailing.

12.4.11 Other protective clothing applicationsOther product categories included within the Protech application area include:

safety harnesses for industrial and sporting applications, made from high-tenacity nylon, polyester or UHMWPE webbing;

life-jackets for industrial and sporting applications, made with nylon orpolyester shells, either acrylic- or PU-coated;

immersion suits, made from coated nylon or neoprene; waterproof and flame retardant survival suits, made from derivatives of

meta-aramids such as Nomex, for use in the offshore oil and gas industries.
