Technical fibers are widely used in the sports sphere for equipment, apparel, and protective gear because they combine lightweight strength, durability, and impact resistance.
Application in different sports :
- Tennis, Badminton, Squash Rackets : Technical textile composites reinforce frames, offering shock absorption, vibration damping, and durability.
- Bicycles : Bicycle frames and wheels use aramid for lightweight stiffness and crash resistance.
- Skateboards, Skis, and Snowboards : Layers of technical fabrics improve flexibility, shock absorption, and edge control.
- Protective gear : These are used in helmets, gloves, and pads impact and abrasion resistance.
- Sailboats : These fibers are used in sails and hull, providing cut resistance and stability under wind pressure.
- Fishing Lines and Rods : These yarns exhibit high tensile strength and durability making them efficient against heavy loads.
- Kayaks and Canoes : Composite hulls are reinforced with aramid for lightweight strength and safety.
