The document discusses technical textiles and the buildtech textile market in India. It states that buildtech textiles are used in construction for buildings and structures like membranes, tarpaulins, awnings, and scaffolding nets. It provides figures estimating the Indian buildtech market was worth $547.1 million in 2009-2010, with over 50% contributed by tarpaulins and around 40% by floor and wall coverings. High-strength textile fabrics made from fibers like aramid, carbon, and glass are increasingly being used in construction as replacements for materials like wood, concrete, and steel due to their mechanical properties.

- 7. High-strength, high-modulus textile fabrics are increasingly being used in the Building and construction industry as a replacement for more traditional materials , Such as wood, concrete, masonry and steel. The mechanical properties of fabrics made With aramid carbon and glass fibres , combined with cross-linking resin systems to form a Composite, provide civil engineers with a range of new materials that offer high strength to weight, High stiffness to weight, and extreme flexibility in design and used. Fabrics for sun protection made of polyester and combined with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) Or polytetrafluroethylene (PTFE) coatings offer many applications and provide function combined With design to modern architecture, where flexible roofs and wall coverings are a feature.
