Textile industry

The textile industry gathers very many trades throughout a chain of transformation on the basis of fibrous raw materials to semi-finished or entirely manufactured products.

The first stage consists of the raw material transformation resulting from Fiber S natural, artificial or synthetic in wire S. the associated trades are the spinning mill, the Guipage, the Moulinage or the Texturation.

Starting from unidimensional wire, the techniques of Weaving and Tricotage make it possible to obtain two-dimensional textile surfaces (even three-dimensional).
Ces surfaces is then very often ennoblies to give them color (Teinture, Impression) or properties particular (chemical finishes, mechanical finishes, Enduction, Contre-collage, etc).

Another technique directly makes it possible starting from fibers to obtain textile surfaces without having recourse to the long textile process. It acts of the Non Woven which are produced directly by carding fibers and by binding the fiber tablecloth thus obtained thermically (calendering) or by an adhesive binder (chemical impregnation).

Textile surfaces are then transformed into Habit S, Meuble S, Rideau X but can also be used to stabilize roads, railroads (Géotextile S), to drain grounds or to make push plants (Agrotextile S), to make fly of the Hélicoptère S, to compensate a defective articulation or to protect a fireman from fire (functional technical textiles).

Declining in occident, this industry remains however very dynamic in the fields of the technical Textile and the textile of luxury.

The majority of the 1.280 active companies textile in France is in the areas: Lorraine Alsace, Champagne, , the Midday-Pyrenees, Northern, Normandy, Picardy, the Rhone-Alps.
