Industrial Process filtration Technology
Filters for removing particles from gasstreams and the reduction of air pollution
Standard and advanced shaped filter bags for coal fired boilers
A combination of woven and non woven fabrics create powerful filters to clean the air of industrial plants from particles

Technical textiles innovations to reduce global pollution
- Case of filtration fabrics for paper industry
Making paper is a technology based on the filtration of pulp to remove 100 m3 of
water for each tonne of paper produced.
All filtration process in paper industry is made thanks to woven filters made by
technical textile producers.

Technical textiles innovations to reduce global pollution
- Case of filtration fabrics for paper industry
To get an Eco label in paper industry it is needed to :
- Criteria 1 : Reduce water pollution by chemicals
- Innovation 1 : Develop new woven fabrics with higher density of yarns an higher
retention capacity
- Criteria 2 : Decrease energy consumption per production unit
- Innovation 2 : Develop new ultra thin fabrics to decrease the water content of paper

Technical textiles innovations to reduce global pollution
- Case of filtration fabrics for paper industry
To get an Eco label in paper industry it is needed to :
- Criteria 3 : Increase the use of recycled fibers
- Innovation 3 : Develop new fabrics and yarns highly resistant to contaminants and
stickies created by the use of recycled fibers.
Thanks to many innovations made by technical textile industry, paper makers can
apply for eco-labels and make more environment friendly products.

Technical textiles innovations to reduce global pollution
- Case of 3D woven based composites in aerospace
To get an Eco label in aviation industry it is needed to :
- Criteria 1 : Decrease fuel consumption
- Criteria 2 : Decrease carbon emissions
- Criteria 3 : Decrease noise patterns
- Technical textiles Innovation : Develop a wide family of 3D woven composites to reduce
considerably the weight of air planes and the noise level.

Technical textiles innovations to reduce global pollution
- Case of 3D woven based composites in aerospace
Use of composites in Commercial Transport Aircraft is continuously increasing
The Boeing 787 has 50% of its primary structure made of composites.
A350 target is 60% of its structure in composite

Environmental Benefits of 3D woven based composites
Decrease the total mass of aerospace equipments and reduce fuelconsumption. Boeing 787 consumes 20% less fuel compared to otherairplanes of its category.
Reduce the energy needed to produce the airplane. Compositesmanufacturing technologies versus metallic based technology
Reduce the amount of scrapped materials to make pieces in the case ofwoven composites compared to metallic pieces which needs to be tooled.
Reduce the consumption of spare parts due to higher lifetime and higher wearresistance.

Innovation Efforts of technical textile producers to obtain Eco labels
Technical textile industry has also its own ambitions to obtain Eco-
labels. Many development projects are initiated in this area:
- Develop new yarns using recyclable materials.
- Introduce new resins based on bio materials or with better
recyclability (at least better than Epoxy for composites).
- Increase the life time of fabrics and composites.
- Reduce the waste issued by the process by the introduction of new
control technology to reduce scrapping.

Obtaining Eco-labels is a vital issue for all industries today to meet
customer and society attempts
This trend is a real innovation motor for technical textiles sector:
- To introduce and to develop new technologies to get its own Eco labels
- To develop new products to help customers to obtain their own Eco
labels and to make environment friendly products.
- Technical textiles sector shows how Eco labeling is a real motor for
modern economies to create more values and to ensure sustainable
development
