A desiccant
is a product or material that can be absorbs moisture from the air,
thus reducing the humidity in a controlled environment and thereby
protecting goods from moisture damage.
The system works by a gravity flow of wastewater from toilets,
showers, and kitchens into a properly designed and sealed septic tanks
and then into the specially engineered subsurface flow wetland cell
which keeps the wastewater below the surface of the gravel, preventing
odor and eliminating the risk of human contact with the sewage. The
system normally consists of three wastewater treatment phases. First one
is taking place in septic tank equipped with special filter, where
anaerobic bacteria commence a biological breakdown of the waste, and
solids settle out to the bottom of the tank.

Since time immemorial, carpets and rugs have been a part of home.
Apart from decorating, carpets give a style statement and add character
to a room. They come in a wide range of styles, all of which have
specific functionality. Carpets and Rugs
are tender to feet and bring warmth to the whole atmosphere. Besides
the aesthetic sense spread by the hand woven traditional carpets, there
are modern contemporary carpets too, having such amazing properties,
such as sound absorption.
Textile is one of the earliest
inventions of our civilization. As time passed by, fabrics got refined and many textile
accessories too were invented for the comfort
of using these fabrics in an effective way. As textile became a style and fashion statement
from being a mere necessity, these simple accessories also got trendy. One of the good
examples of such accessories is the commonly used fabric closure, the button.
There are many products that use textile in a good measure.
One of such textile products
is the umbrella. An umbrella can be simply defined as a canopy for protection against rain, snow or sunlight.
The term umbrella has been derived from the Latin word umbra which means "shade".
Umbrellas are generally hand-held portable devices rendering fashion statement in some societies
and used as an accessory in some other societies. However, some of these can be big enough
that can be fixed to patio tables or other outdoor furniture. They are the 'Parasols', the term
which is synonymously used for umbrellas as well. Parasols can be bigger as well as smaller
but they are primarily meant for protection only against sun.
Polyester fibers, the synthetic fibers, are long chain polymers
derived from coal, air, water, and petroleum. They are formed through
chemical reaction between an acid and alcohol. In this reaction, two or
more molecules combine to make a large molecule whose structure repeats
throughout its length. These molecules are very stable and strong. There
are variations in the compositions and therefore in the properties of
polyester fibers.
Applying coloured patterns and designs to decorate a finished fabric is called 
Textiles are important for everyone. It is used for covering body,
for warmth or coolness, personality enhancement and sometimes to display
one's status in the society. From the wholesale textile manufacturer
and merchant to the retailer and the end- user, the customer, everyone
consumes textile. Not only those who are in this direct trade are
related to this product but there are certain industries which are
indirectly associated with textile. Automobile industry is a good
example of this type of industry which uses textile in various forms.
Others who use textile in one or the other form may include designers,
interior decorators, craftspersons, advertisers using hoardings and
banners, painters etc.
For a good night's sleep, the basic necessity remains that of a good quality mattress.
The pre historic man used to pile up leaves, straws, and animal skin to
sleep on. These can be called the earliest mattresses. With time, the
material that was used to make the mattresses, changed to horse hair, cotton fiber
and rags. In early nineteenth century, many small manufacturers
started producing mattresses commercially. They used fabric remnants,
discarded by tailors, as stuffings of their mattresses. In mid 19th
century, a significant development was made in the form of mattresses
with stabilized interior springs. The mattress got firm and resilient
with a uniform texture all over. These innerspring mattresses used to be
made by placing a set of uniform springs inside the layers of
upholstery. After that mattresses just became popular so much so that
today they are one of the most important home furnishings.
Inflatable boats
have become very popular means of enjoying water sports and
recreational boating activities. They are lightweight boats manufactured
with their sides and bows made of flexible tubes having pressurized gas
within them. They come in various sizes. In the boats that are longer
than 3 meters (10 ft), the floor usually consists of 3 to 5 rigid
plywood or aluminum sheets fixed between the tubes but not joined
rigidly together. Some of the inflatable boats are portable and can be
disassembled and packed into a small volume for easy storage. Such a
boat, when inflated, is kept rigid crossways by a foldable removable
thwart. It makes it appropriate to be used as life saving rafts for
larger boats or aircraft, and for travel or recreational purposes.
The basic process of sewing involves fastening of fabrics, leather, furs or similar other flexible materials with the help of needle and threads. Sewing is mainly used to manufacture clothing and home furnishings. In fact, sewing is one of the important processes in apparel making. Most of such industrial sewing is done by industrial sewing machines.
The cut pieces of a garment are generally tacked, or temporarily
stitched at the initial stage. The complex parts of the machine then
pierces thread through the layers of the cloth and interlocks the
thread.
It is a known fact that the main material for fabric construction is yarn. Knitting is the second most frequently used method, after weaving, that turns yarns or threads into fabrics. It is a versatile technique that can make fabrics
having various properties such as wrinkle-resistance, stretchability,
better fit, particularly demanded due to the rising popularity of sports wear and casual wears. As of present day, knitted fabrics are used widely for making hosiery, underwears, sweaters, slacks, suits and coats apart from rugs and other home furnishings. 
Weaving is the most basic process in which two different sets of yarns or threads
are interlaced with each other to form a fabric or cloth. One of
these sets is called warp which is the lengthwise yarn running from the
back to the front of the loom. The other set of crosswise yarns are the
filling which are called the weft or the woof.
Through the process of fabric painting, different fabrics such as apparel fabrics or home furnishing fabrics can be given a crafty look. In fact, it can also be used for embellishing finished garments such as t-shirt, pants, jeans, and jackets as also many other products like bags, pillows, or anything made up of fabrics just by adding designs and colors to them. 
Glass,
with its glossy shine, attracts many. It has been put into many uses
from being made into utensils, mirrors, windows, doors to furniture and
artworks.
Textile Industry too could not resist itself from the fatal
attraction of glass. Although, hard and rigid by nature, glass can very
well be made into fine, shiny and translucent fibers which more or less
look and feel like silk fibers. These glass fibers are commonly known as fiberglass
Dyeing
is the process of imparting colors to a textile material through a dye
(colour). Dyes are obtained from flowers, nuts, berries and other forms
of vegetables and plants as well as from animal and mineral sources.
These are known as natural dyes. 
The
term "Denim" has originated from the city of Nimes in France where
"serge de Nimes" was manufactured. Denim is made from a vat dye, the
Indigo dye, which is applied to cotton fabric in loosely held form in
layers. As far as manufacturing process of denim
is concerned, it is similar to that of Grey fabric up to the process of
weaving with the only difference that in case of Denim Fabric, it is
dyed at the stage of sizing where as in case of Grey Fabric, the
decision regarding dyeing stage depends upon the finished product..
Spandex is a synthetic fiber
that has an exceptional characteristic of elasticity due to which it is
also known as elastane. It is lightweight, soft, strong and very
stretchable. In fact, spandex fiber
was developed as an alternative to rubber but has a better quality
than it. The name Lycra has also come to be a synonymous of spandex.
However, Lycra is the trademark brand but it has become so popular that
all the varieties of spandex are popularly referred to as Lycra. Due to
its durability and stretchability, spandex is mostly used to make sports wear
and work wear, specially for factory workers. It wears like a second
skin and for risk involved jobs like that of machine operators, Lycra clothing is like a boon.
For a very long period of human history, man depended on natural elements to make fibers for clothing. These were natural fibers. However, with the technological advances many man made synthetic fibers
were developed.
Man-made fibers have two main categories: One that are made from
natural products (cellulosic fibers) and the other that are synthesized
from chemical compounds (noncellulosic polymer fibers). Rayon fiber is a natural-based material made from the cellulose of wood pulp or cotton fiber. In fact, they are made from reformed or regenerated cellulose. As such, they are identified as regenerated cellulose fibers.
Footwear
can be defined as garments that are worn on the feet. There main
purpose is protecting one's feet. Of late, footwear has become an
important component of fashion accessories.
Although, their basic purpose remains that of protection, adornment or
defining style statement has become their additional and a significant
function. There are many types of footwear- shoes, boots, sandals, slippers etc. They are further categorized into many more types.
Silk is a natural protein fiber produced by certain caterpillars in
order to encase themselves in the form of cocoons. The making of silk is
different from that of other natural fibers. There are many steps
involved in silk manufacturing
