Functional wear is no longer a niche market, but in the rapidly growing apparel market, it is now seen as a sector in its own right. What is high-performance textiles? High-performance textiles are engineered fabric for multiple-function garments. The performance of textiles is enhanced by a number of processes like the selection/blending of fibers, chemical processing, and finishing in different production stages by dyeing, coating, and laminating.
