Textile Terms and Definitions

Comprehensive in scope, Textile Terms and Definitions is the foremost international resource on textile terminology. It is widely used and relied upon in all sectors of the textile industry throughout the world. The almost 4,000 definitions cover all functions, materials, processes and product categories. The definitions are clear and concise, and supported by more than 200 photographs and diagrams. Now in its tenth edition, the selection of terms and the refinement of their definitions are based on more than forty years of systematic development with the assistance of more than ten specialist panels and input from around the world, including the Committee on Textile Terminology of the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). The current edition includes more than 400 new definitions, with the emphasis on textile technology. In addition to use in everyday reference by textile industry personnel, this resource will be useful in trademark, patent, legal, regulatory, standards and customs work. The definitions have been edited to serve both new and experienced personnel alike. The text is printed on heavy coated stock and sturdily bound for years of desktop use.
