Specialty Textiles

A Leader in Specialty Textiles

Specialty textiles are fabrics that have been designed for a specific purpose. This can include everything from heavy–duty flooring textiles to delicate medical wraps. Specialty textiles often have unique properties that make them ideal for their intended use.

Delaware Valley Corporation is a specialty textile manufacturer that produces innovative textile products for various applications. Our products are used in industries such as recreational, automotive, construction, industrial, and medical. We are constantly developing custom specialty textile products that offer our customers superior performance and value.

Delaware Valley Corporation manufactures custom needle–punch non–woven textiles typically made from synthetic fibers. We offer comprehensive customization options at little to no cost. Our team helps you select the correct fiber material, construction, and post manufacturing processes for your design needs. We can help with your design, defining the specifications for
your end use. Specifications that are considered are weight (GSM), thickness, permeability, porosity, pore size, abrasion and bearding resistance, bursting strength, tensile, tear, puncture, and elongation.

The most common materials for specialty textiles include natural fibers like cotton, wool, and sisal, and synthetic materials like polyester, polypropylene, and nylon. Each fiber has special properties that make it suitable for specific applications.

• Cotton is a natural fiber that is soft, durable, and breathable. It is often used in bedding, clothing, and other household items.
• Wool is a natural fiber that is strong and resistant to wrinkles. It is often used in clothing,
  blankets, and carpets.
• Silk is a light, smooth, natural fiber. It is often used in clothing, bedding, and curtains.
• Polyester is a synthetic fiber that is strong and resistant to wrinkles. It is often used in clothing, upholstery, and carpets.
• Nylon is a synthetic fiber that is strong and resistant to wrinkles. It is often used in clothing, upholstery, and carpets.
• Acrylic is a synthetic fiber that is similar to wool. It is often used in textile applications where it can provide thermal insulation, and comfort.

The specialty textile services of the Delaware Valley Corporation have provided these industries with the materials they need to create products that meet their unique specifications.

• Medical: Dermal wraps, face masks.
• Furniture: Entry mat textiles, wall coverings, carpet backing, padding.
• Automotive: Trunk liners, door panel and map pocket coverings, head liners, engine hood insulation, seat backs and molded wheel well coverings to name just a few.

• Industrial: Sound absorption, surface protection/enhancement, fatigue mats, fluid containment, gasketing, vibration isolation
• Geotextiles: Erosion control, drainage, reinforcement.

When choosing a specialty textile for a specific application, it is vital to consider the properties of the fiber and the textile construction. Some factors to consider include:

• Strength: The fabric should be strong enough to withstand the stresses of the application.
• Durability: The fabric should withstand repeated use and exposure to anticipated conditions.
• Porosity: The fabric should allow gases and fluids to circulate as required yet impede the flow of unwanted contaminants.
• Elasticity: The fabric should not wrinkle easily to retain its shape and appearance over time.
• Appearance: The fabric should have a surface texture and feel appropriate to the application.
