Protection- In certain cases, the textile products are expected to protect us from risks. For example, outdoor clothing gives protection against rain.

Fire

From indoor environment

Wind resistance

from impact

Other

Products or clothing's-

Underwear, socks – skin contact

Middle layers – thermal insulation

Outerwear – appearance

Outdoor clothing – protection

Specific considerations for people with disabilities-

1.Sitting in a wheelchair-

Good Fitting

Comfort in sitting

Fabric allowance

Thermal properties

Breathability

Durable

2.Staying in bed-

Thermal balance

Moisture transfer

Allergic reaction

Smooth surface bed

Soft

Hard

Wearable

3.Paddings- To protect the human body from impact.

4. Diapers:-

Ability to absorb moisture.

Application according to need.

13

More body movement more is the abrasive forces

Fabric allowance

5.Crutches and other supporting devices:-

6.Shaking – bad coordination

Clearing properties

Apron and feeding bibs

7.Supersensitive skin.

Textile materials-Fabric properties are dependent on fibre and yarn properties, such as

fibre fineness, fibre structure, fibre length, fibre type, yarn count yarn structure and yarn type.

1. Raw materials- fibre length, fibre fineness and fibre structure. .

2.Fabric structures:-

woven fabricsKnitted fabrics andNonwoven fabrics.

3.Dyeing and finishing:-

Desired colorFabric handlePerformanceWater repellencyFlame retardant

Textile properties with Special recommendation -

180 g/m2 for 100 % cotton.

120 g/m2 for 50 % CO / 50 % PES.

1.Raw material-

Pure synthetic or pure natural fibre are used.

No blends are mostly preferred .2.Mass per unit area-

3.Thickness.

4. Abrasion resistance -heavy use 40 000 r (Martindale) for

clothing materials and 50 000 r.

5. Elastic properties.

6.Tear resistance-tear resistance for woven clothing fabrics is

at least 25 N.

7.Bursting strength.

8. Breaking strength-a minimum breaking strength of 350 N

for cotton polyester blended (50%/50%) sheets and 450 N for

cotton sheets.

Appearance:-

Staining

Wrinkles

Seam puckering

Drapeability

Pilling

Colour fastness against rubbing-Oeko-Tex Standard has limit values for colour fastness against rubbing 4 for dry and 2–3 for wet

04/18/2023

20

Colour fastness against washing : It is recommended for colour fastness to washing value 4 .

Colour fastness to perspiration : It is recommended value 4

Colour fastness against light : A minimum value 5 is recommended for clothing fabrics.

Wrinkling and wrinkle recovery: It is recommended for clothing fabrics at least value 4.

Pilling : It is recommended that the pilling for clothing fabrics is 4 at least.

21

Comfort properties:-

Good thermal insulation-wheelchair users Indoors at +20 °c.

Water vapour transmission Breathability: It is recommended that the breathability of woven and knitted clothing fabrics is at least 5000 g/m2*24 h.

Air permeability-an air permeability of less than 150 l/m2*s

Flame retardance-It is not possible to give an absolute recommendation value for flame spread time because 15–60 s.

Conclusion-

Thus the aid of modern textile Engg. And advancement in

textile era can be vary well put to use for disabled people.

They are different from the other people in various need and

day to day work. So there is need to consider the clothing for

disabled people.

With help of textile Engg. We can improve the living style of

this people .
