Parachutes Fabrics





A parachute is a device used to slow the motion of an object through an atmosphere by creating drag, or in the case of ram-air parachutes, aerodynamic lift. Parachutes are usually made out of light, strong cloth, originally silk, now most commonly nylon. Parachutes must slow an object's terminal vertical speed by a minimum 75% in order to be classified as such.
Depending on the situation, parachutes are used with a variety of loads, including people, food, equipment, space capsules, and bombs.
Drogue chutes are used to aid horizontal deceleration of a vehicle (a fixed-wing aircraft, or a drag racer), or to provide stability (tandem free-fall, or space shuttle after a touchdown).
The word "parachute" comes from the French para, meaning "to prepare for" or "to protect against," originally from the Latin parare, and chute, the French word for "fall," and it was originally coined, as a hybrid word which meant literally "that which protects against a fall," by the French aeronaut François Blanchard (1753-1809) in 1785. Some modern parachutes are classified as semi-rigid wings, which are maneuverable and can make a controlled descent to break on impact with the ground.


Nylon
Parachute canopies have to withstand high wind pressures, especially when operating at altitude and nylon is a common choice of material in the manufacture of canopies. Nylon is completely windproof and has the added benefits of being lightweight, readily sourced and inexpensive. The strength, flexibility and light weight of nylon also make it ideal as the material used in the straps of the parachute harness.
Kevlar
Some parachutes canopies are being made from a newer material, Kevlar. A major benefit of Kevlar is its extreme strength, which means it is used in the manufacture of bullet-proof clothing. Kevlar, like nylon, is a man-made fiber. It is highly resistant to heat, making it flame-resistant, and does not lose its strength and shape at high temperatures. Kevlar parachutes maintain their tensile strength well even when left folded for extended periods, as was found during tests done for the U.S. Department of Energy.
Silk
Early parachutes canopies were made of canvas, but silk was later utilized because it is thinner, better resistant to wind, resistant to fire and much easier to fold. Silk was used as early as the 1790s when parachute pioneer Jean-Pierre Blanchard began to make parachute canopies out of the fabric. Silk remained a popular material in parachute manufacture up until World War II, when silk imports became expensive and difficult to obtain, leading to the development of nylon parachute canopies

Fiber

Natural fibers
Natural fibers include those produced by plants, animals, and geological processes. They are biodegradable over time. They can be classified according to their origin:
Vegetable fibers examples include Seed fiber- cotton, hemp, jute, flax, ramie, and sisal
Animal fibers generally comprise proteins; examples include silk, wool, angora, mohair, spider silk, sinew, alpaca, catgut, wool and hair such as cashmere, mohair and angora, fur such as sheepskin, rabbit, mink, fox, beaver, etc.
Animal hair (wool or hairs): Fiber or wool taken from animals or hairy mammals. e.g. sheep's wool, goat hair (cashmere, mohair), alpaca hair, horse hair, etc.
Silk fiber :Fiber collected from dried saliva of bugs or insects during the preparation of cocoons. Examples include silk from silk worms.
Avian fiber: Fibers from birds, e.g. feathers and feather fiber.

Human-made fibers
Synthetic or man-made fibers generally come from synthetic materials such as petrochemicals. But some types of synthetic fibers are manufactured from natural cellulose, including rayon (Rayon is a very versatile fiber and has the same comfort properties as natural fibers), modal, and the more recently developed Lyocell

Polymer fibers
Polymer fibers are a subset of man-made fibers, which are based on synthetic chemicals (often from petrochemical sources) rather than arising from natural materials by a purely physical process. Such fibers are made from: polyamide nylon, polyester

Micro fibers
A micro fiber refers to synthetic fibers (fiber) that measure less than one “denier”. The most common types of micro fibers are made from polyesters, polyamides (nylon), and or a conjugation of polyester and polyamide.
Micro fiber is used in the manufacture of non-woven, woven and knitted textiles. The shape, size and combinations of synthetic fibers are selected for specific characteristics, including: softness, durability, absorption, wicking abilities, water repellency, electrodynamics, and filtering capabilities.
Micro fiber is commonly used for apparel, upholstery, industrial filters and janitorial products.

History of Batik in Malaysia

It not easy to narrow down or trace since a few version about the origin of batik in Malaysia but what did I found out is the Malaysian batik origin is from Indonesia (Proven by earlier Malaysian batik design of sarong were very much influenced with Indonesian inspired designs) spread to Tanah Melayu in 1920s with technique is also known as ‘batik chop’ or “batik terap”-(using stamp to produced batik) and being start produced in east coast Kelantan .In earlier 1930s batik producer in Kelantan still using the wooden blocks and using natural color but in 1950s copper blocks and tin blocks are been introduced.
‘Batik tulis’ or “batik lukis” or hand drawn batik in Malaysia were introduced ,firmly believed by Master or “Sifu” of batik Wan Nong Ahmad in year 1970s in Kuala Lumpur .The first batch of apprentice under Wan Nong Ahmad to learn and produced hand drawn batik in Malaysia -Azman,Md.Noor and Salleh and the second batch –Hishamudin Ahmad, Khalid Shamsuddin Arshad and Rahman Rani.In the year 1970s also the using of batik stretcher or frame adopting from Japanese Kimono dyeing techniques. It different from Indonesian hand drawn batik, the dyeing process without using stretcher or frame.
In year 1980s in hand drawn batik was introduced by “Overlap” technique of coloring or dyeing which mean more than one layer of wax and color are using compare to previous technique where just a layer of wax with few color are used. Who’s the first batik artist to create “Overlap” technique? I have no idea about that cause many batik artist blaming that they are the first in the market.
Nowadays Malaysian batik has developed its own particular aesthetic, recognizable by it distinguishes pattern and vivid colors.
