PROTECH: textiles for personal and property protection

OVERVIEW
Protech encompasses all those textile materials and products used in the production of protective clothing of various types. The term 'protective clothing' covers garments and accessories intended to protect people against the elements, dangerous or hazardous materials, processes or events encountered either during the course of their work or during leisure activities. It also encompasses garments intended to protect products, the workplace or environment against people (as in the case of cleanroom garments), as well as people against people (as in the case of security and defence applications).

In terms of the volume of textile materials consumed, Protech was the smallest of all the application areas in 2000, accounting for just 1.4% of the total volume, at less than 250,000 tonnes. In value terms, however, in 2000 Protech was larger than both Geotech and Packtech, and was worth an estimated US$5.2 billion, indicating the high unit value of products contained within the Protech application area. In terms of the prospects for growth in this sector, growth rates for the 2000-2005 period (CAGR 3.3%) are lower than both the preceding (CAGR 5.3%) and subsequent 5-year periods (CAGR 4.0%). The high rate of growth for the period 1995-2000 was largely as a result of the increase in demand in Europe following the introduction of the Personal Protective Equipment at Work Regulations. The higher growth for the period 2005-2010 is as a result of increased demand following a reversal of the current economic global downturn.

PRODUCTS INCLUDED IN THE APPLICATION AREA

Whilst the term 'protective clothing' spans the whole spectrum of solutions, garments included within the Protech application area are confined to those items which employ performance fibres, fabrics or coatings to protect the wearer from the particular form of hazard with which they are faced. Consequently, low-cost commodity, low performance items, such as cotton gloves and overalls, although considerable 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.

In other technical textile application areas, consumption is measured at the point at which the textile becomes integrated into another product (e.g. where tyre cord is made into tyres). Products contained within Protech are still regarded as being technical textiles in their finished state, i.e. garments. Therefore, consumption of Protech products is measured where the finished garments are used, not where they are made. The value figures for Protech, however, relate to the value of the finished textile part of the product only, i.e. without any allowance for making up.

MARKET DRIVERS
Introduction
The size and growth in the overall market for protective clothing for industrial and other occupational end-uses is a function of a number of macro- and microeconomic 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 increased violent crime, terrorism and military activity. The market for protective clothing used in consumer applications is largely a function of increased leisure time and increased disposable income.
12.3.2
Decline of "smokestack" industries in developed countries offset by increased protection levels

In recent years developed economies have seen a decline in the number of people employed 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 workplace through the use of robots, other automation and safety devices.

12.3 2003
This negative impact on the demand for protective clothing in developed markets has been partially offset, however, by a general extension of protection performance to more conventional workwear used in low risk applications and a higher level of protection being afforded to those 'more valuable' workers remaining at high risk. This trend is reinforced by a more stringent regulatory environment and greater threats to employers of insurance liability. Demand for protective clothing in Europe was boosted in the 1990s by the introduction 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 developing countries

In developing countries demand for protective clothing is affected not only by increased levels of industrialisation but also by an increased awareness of, and willingness to comply with, Health & Safety and hygiene legislation. This has been brought 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 safety and 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 towards the 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 action

The rising trend in violent crime, combined with increased military operations in areas such as the Middle East in the wake of terrorist activity, have led to increases in public spending aimed at reducing injuries to police, civil defence, and the military. The Bulletproof Vest Partnership (BVP) Grant Act in the United States in the year 2000 is one such example; this set in place funding of US$50 million a year up until the year 2004, making funding available to qualifying bodies for the purchase of bulletproof or stab-resistant vests.
12.3.5
Increase in use of outdoor clothing in day-to-day applications

Much of the recent and predicted future growth of the Protech sector stems from the increased use of high performing protective fabrics (especially breathable waterproofs) in every day consumer clothing. This expansion in use from specialised high performance applications (sport or industrial), to the mass market is a common phenomenon. As new materials are developed in response to specific requirements (e.g. breathable membranes offering waterproofness and comfort), they are first used in performance sportswear applications, but are rapidly pulled through into basic sportswear. This expansion in the use of outdoor clothing has been exaggerated further by an increase in the number of people taking part in outdoor activities such as rambling and snowboarding.

MARKET SIZE AND TRENDS

Dominated by foul weather and hi-vis clothing
In the year 2000, Protech consumed just over 238,000 tonnes of textiles, valued at almost US$5.2 billion. In terms of volume, foul weather and hi-visibility clothing accounted for 57 percent of the overall Protech market. Of the total quantity of materials consumed in this application area in the year 2000, synthetic fibres accounted for almost 87 percent.

Variations in growth rates

Growth prospects for woven fabrics continue to be amongst the best of any application area and unit values continue to increase with the move to more sophisticated and higher performance materials. However, relatively unsophisticated nonwovens show even greater potential for growth as demand for single trip or limited life garments increases in a number of dirty and hazardous activities where eventual disposal is likely to be preferred to laundering and re-use. There is still an ongoing debate on both environmental and cost grounds about the pros and cons of using disposable and limited life garments versus more durable and higher initial cost but re-usable products.

Source:DRA
At present, the trend still seems to be in favour of nonwovens but landfill restrictions and similar legislation on disposal and recycling could tip the balance the other way.
12.4.3
Growing importance of comfort and design in protective clothing

Although guaranteed high levels of performance will remain critical for protective garments, increased emphasis is being placed on wearer comfort, corporate image and other design aesthetics. This will involve aspects of both garment design and fabric development, covering such aspects as improved fashionability, improved breathability, reduced garment bulk, less rigidity and reduced noise in wear ("rustle"). Manufacturers and specifiers of protective clothing are increasing realising the need to supply workers with comfortable garments. Where a garment has to be worn continually due to the unpredictable nature of the risk involved, comfort is a key issue which must be addressed. A garment which is uncomfortable, either because it is cumbersome, heavy or too hot can increase the risk involved to the wearer as they may be tempted to roll up the sleeves, undo the fastenings or remove the garment entirely.
12.4.4
Increased environmental pressures

In certain countries of Europe (particularly Germany and Scandinavia) restrictions exist over the amount of formaldehyde and other chemicals produced in the FR treatment of cotton that can be released into the environment. These limits can be met, but only at some expense by finishers. In Sweden, the only significant user of FR chemicals has devised a way of converting waste products into fertiliser. Although there are no legal requirements with regard to formaldehyde retention in textile products in Europe, a number of governmental and non-governmental bodies have established voluntary environmental labelling schemes such as "Oekotex" and the "Eco-mark" for marketing purposes. Currently all FR treated fabrics are excluded from these schemes, and inherently FR fibres have an apparent marketing advantage. Ironically, this advantage will largely disappear if, as is expected, the environmental labelling schemes are extended to FR products, since 12.6
2003
treatments such as Proban and Pyrovatex are expected to qualify for "environmentally friendly" status.
12.4.5
Market polarisation
The market for protective clothing is polarising into highest performance, high price applications and low cost, lower performance products for lower risk applications, for example for secondary protection or where protective clothing is being used for the first time. New entrants to the protective clothing market will find that the middle market often represents only a small proportion of the total market whilst current solutions are well established at the extreme sectors. In certain applications there is an increased pressure on prices; many protective clothing users/buyers in developed markets are more inclined to downgrade for price rather than upgrade for performance.
12.4.6
Particulate matter (dust) protection

In the year 2000 the global market for particulate matter protective clothing reached an estimated volume of just under 25,000 tonnes. Protection against harmful dust and particles can be segmented into two main categories: those garments which protect the wearer from dust and particles in the environment, e.g. ceramics and asbestos, through to pharmaceutical and radioactive products manufacture and processing. Face-masks and respirators are included within this segment. those garments used in cleanrooms in the electronics and biological products industries where the prevention of contamination of the work environment by the operator is the main requirement. There are two main types of materials (known as 'barrier fabrics') used in particulate protection: fabrics made from tightly woven filament yarns, often incorporating a carbon or stainless steel stripe or grid, such as Klopman's Vektron or Ten Cate's Tecadry; 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 with special polymers and co-extruded films. In the year 2000, nonwoven fabrics dominated 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 matter protection end-use is forecast to grow in volume terms by 4.7% and 7.1% CAGR, respectively. Accordingly, this segment has the highest growth prospects within the Protech application area.
12.4.7
Gas and chemical protection, and NBC suits

A wide range of products and materials is used for protection against harmful chemicals and gases. These vary in sophistication from fairly basic coated fabrics (e.g. 'limited-life' PE-coated Tyvek and 'durable' PVC-coated nylon) up to advanced and high performance polymer films and laminates for higher levels of protection. In common with particulate protection, this segment is dominated by nonwoven fabrics which, in the year 2000, accounted for almost 84% of the total volume.
12.7 2003
The future of military clothing Both the US and Canadian military have recently invested large sums of money in developing high-tech fatigues of the future. Proposed developments include camouflage which reacts to changes in its surroundings, high technology chainmail, uniforms which release antidotes to biological or chemical weapons, and materials which can be programmed to form a cast around a bone injury. One of the more radical ideas is a uniform which collects soldiers' sweat and turns it into drinking water.
Garments used in Nuclear, Biological, Chemical (NBC) protection by the armed forces and other civil defence organisations employ a wide variety of designs and materials, with different countries often adopting quite different approaches. The last few years has seen a considerable amount of development work being carried out.
Aside from some impermeable (butyl) fabrics used for gloves, masks and some de-contamination suits, most military combat designs are based on multi-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 and water and liquid penetration whilst also remaining lightweight and breathable enough for use during strenuous activity. Outer materials include: 50% nylon/50% cotton in the United States; nylon warp/modacrylic weft in the UK; 65% FR viscose/35% aramid in Germany; nylon Flame retardancy in military clothing taffeta in France. All military forces routinely face threats from flames, heat, flash and explosions as an integral part of their operations. Garments for limited Unlike the threats faced by civilian workers who wear length flame retardant clothing, the fire threats faced by military decontamination personnel are deliberately planned and executed events. operations are In the case of civilians, any threats from flames or produced in butyl explosions are predominantly accidental, unplanned covered fabrics events. while some disposable decontamination suits and low cost/lightweight designs for emergency use and civil defence purposes are based on plastic films e.g. PVC, polyethylene and polyamide. Unlike civilian protective clothing, military clothing can often 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, offering little in terms of wearer comfort. Now, however, specifiers are realising that comfortable soldiers are more efficient and comfort is therefore rising in priority. Soldiers are advised to use wickable underwear. To increase comfort, any flame retardant garments are worn as far away from the skin as possible.
12.4.8
Fire and heat protection

In the year 2000, global consumption of flame retardant and heat resistant clothing is estimated to have been in the region of 27,000 tonnes. Clothing which provides protection against fire and high temperatures can be segmented into primary and secondary types. Primary protective clothing is worn for activities where significant exposure to molten substance splash, radiant heat and flames is likely, e.g. blast furnace aprons, fire-fighter turnout gear and fire entry suits. Secondary protective clothing is designed for continuous protection from possible intermittent exposure to molten substance splash, radiant heat or flame, e.g. continuously worn flame retardant uniforms.
12.8 2003
Garments made from flame retardant cotton and blends thereof dominate in lower performance applications, accounting for between 38% (United States) and 47% (Japan) of the total volume in the year 2000. In these areas, emphasis is being placed on the increased provision of comfort for the wearer, through the inclusion of fibres such as lyocell or FR viscose. Increased avoidance of heat stress, which encourages wearers to remove garments or roll up their sleeves, is also an important issue. The majority of fire-fighters' turn-out gear is based on a meta-aramid derivative of some kind, such as Nomex or Possible introduction of Wildland Kermel. Other examples include clothing Celanese's PBI which is more expensive than other fibres but is In structural firefighting, firefighters may more durable. Increasingly, fire only have to wear a garment for a short brigades are shying away from using period of time before they are called out the layering of items of clothing to of the danger area and replaced; the fact provide a total level of protection. that the garment is heavy and hot is not This is largely because fire officers a distinct problem. There is talk in the have no real control over what their European firefighting community firefighters are wearing underneath regarding the introduction of a their turnout gear. If fire services lighterweight form of firefighting did adopt a layered approach, an clothing which reduces heat stress and is insufficient outer shell worn without therefore suitable for use over a the required undergarments may sustained period of time. lead to serious injuries or fatalities. A further sub-segment of flame retardant clothing is that of military clothing. This is 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 of being struck by a missile or driving over a land mine. Such clothing uses a wide variety of materials including FR cotton, FR viscose and para- and meta-aramids.
12.4.9
Cut and abrasion protection, ballistic and impact protection

Global consumption of technical textiles in this segment reached almost 9,000 tonnes in the year 2000. The majority of cut and abrasion protection products are gloves, a large proportion of Protection from electrical arcs which are relatively unsophisticated items which One area of protective clothing which has seen use low cost, low performance significant research and development over the materials such as heavy duty past decade is that of electrical arc protection. woven cotton on the basis Workers exposed to electrical arcs can suffer that they can be replaced on a horrific injuries.

Materials used include molecular weight polyethylene blends of aramid and FR viscose, modacrylic and (UHMWPE), in place of, or in cotton blends (e.g. Ten Cate's Tecasafe), and FR conjunction with, steel wire cotton. Wool is not suitable as an outer layer due reinforcements. to its propensity to break open. 12.9
2003
Microfilament yarns have been shown to increase cut resistance. Chainsaw protective clothing is usually made up of padded layers of ballistic nylon filament yarn which aim to stop the chain by entanglement before the teeth penetrate the flesh. The layered fabrics are constructed during the garment manufacturing process, with loose quilting of the yarn between standard outer shell fabrics of polyester-cotton or Cordura-type nylon. Fabrics made from p-aramid yarns 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 other projectiles 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 accounted for around 75% of the total volume. A more recent innovation is the use of unidirectional fabrics made from UHMWPE yarns such as Dyneema or Spectra. These vests are generally lighter in weight than their p-aramid counterparts. Such materials 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 the fibre. Garments for protection against certain projectiles, such as snipers' bullets, may also use aramid or ceramic panels which may be inserted into pockets to increase stoppage levels. Certain vests may use non-woven layers. There has been some development work in the use of 3-D knitting for vests for females to give better conformability. Outer fabrics include polyester/cotton, 100% cotton, Nomex and Cordura-type textured nylon. Higher performance vests may incorporate a breathable membrane or phase-change materials to assist cooling. An array of new materials, aimed at providing current or enhanced levels of protection in lighter-weight products, are being investigated for use in vests, jackets and helmets. Examples include nano-composites (tiny molecules engineered to perform specific functions) and genetically-engineered fibres such as artificial spider silk, produced from proteins injected into goats and released in their milk. Similar materials to those used in ballistic clothing are also used in stab and puncture resistant garments to protect those working in law enforcement. There is an increasing need for effective puncture and stab resistant clothing for use in correctional facilities; prison guards are more likely to be injured or killed with home-made "sticking" implements (shanks) than with bullets. Examples of materials used include tightly woven Kevlar and silicon carbide coated Twaron. The need for different forms of protection In the United States, the liberal laws regarding the ownership of firearms mean that the main threat to police officers is from bullets. In Europe and other regions, however, the relatively strict laws on gun ownership mean that knives and other stabbing implements pose a more serious threat.
In the last few years there has been a trend towards the provision of multi-threat body armour which provides combined stab and ballistic protection. Cut and abrasion protective clothing may also be used in other applications: 2003 fencing suits motorcycle clothing industrial aprons snake-resistant gaiters. 12.10
12.4.10
Outdoor protection, hi-visibility

In the year 2000, the value of fabrics used in the global market for outdoor and hivisibility clothing was an estimated US$3.2 billion. A variety of clothing is used for protection against the elements and extreme cold conditions, the majority of which are constructed from low-cost PVC- or PU-coated commodity substrates. Recent years have seen an increase in the use of a new generation of materials at the top end of the market which combine water- and wind- proofness with breathability, offering new standards in comfort and performance. An even more recent innovation is soft-shell technology, such as Nextec's Epic film, which provides combined water- and wind-proofness with increased breathability and improved fabric handle. Waterproof and breathable fabrics can be produced by using a microporous or hydrophilic coating or laminate. Microporous coatings or laminates can be produced by mechanical fibrillation, phase separation, solvent extraction or solvent exchange. With the exception of Gore-Tex (PTFE) and Sympatex (polyester), most membranes or coatings tend to be PU-based. Hydrophilic polyurethane is mainly used as a solid coating and can be applied to a wide base of fabrics including filament woven nylon and polyester, texturised fabrics and microfibre grades. Hydrophilic polyurethane layers can also be applied to microporous films and coatings to seal off the surface pores. This improves the waterproof properties without substantially reducing the breathability of the structure. Plasma technology The direct fluoro-polymer treatment of a whole range of fabrics, from cotton to synthetics, by plasma techniques to improve their hydrophobicity offers considerable potential to enhance and, perhaps eventually, replace existing lamination and coating methods. Vacuum plasma systems have a number of advantages over atmospheric treatments: greater control over types and ranges 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 on made-up garments.
High visibility clothing is worn by people working in dark or poorly lit environments where there is a requirement for the wearer to be highly conspicuous. Examples of such end-uses include mining, building and construction, traffic police, airport workers, and engineers working by railway lines. This category also includes those garments worn in non-vocational activities such as sailing. This segment is dominated by warp-knit materials which accounted for an estimated 70% by weight of the total in the year 2000. As it has in a number of other segments, polyester has gained share from polyamide, accounting for around half of the total volume in 2000. Phosphorescent, fluorescent and retro-reflective materials are used in this type of clothing. Phosphorescent materials absorb radiant energy and emit light after the energy source, such as sunlight, is removed. Examples include products produced by GloTech and Beaver Industries which use strontium oxide chemistry. Unlike reflective materials, phosphorescent technology also works underwater. Fluorescent materials convert energy from non-visible UV rays into visible light. These are useful during daylight but offer little protection in the dark as they do not emit or reflect light. Retro-reflective materials are regarded as being the most 12.11 2003
effective of the high visibility materials and take the form of strips, bands or inks which may be printed on to garments.
12.4.11
Other protective clothing applications

Other product categories included within the Protech application area include: safety harnesses for industrial and sporting applications, made from hightenacity nylon, polyester or UHMWPE webbing; life-jackets for industrial and sporting applications, made with nylon or polyester 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.
