I am a textile industry professional with over 40 years of experience across various specialized areas of textile science and manufacturing. My extensive background encompasses several key technical domains:

 Fire Retardant Chemistry and Fiber Knowledge: possess expertise in the application and formulation of chemical treatments designed to make textiles resistant to fire, as well as a deep understanding of different fiber properties.

 Chemical Finishing Knowledge: experience includes working with a range of technical finishes. A notable area of expertise is phase change chemistry, which involves incorporating materials into textiles that can absorb, store, and release heat, often used in temperature-regulating fabrics.

 Manufacturing Processes: has practical knowledge of core textile production methods, specifically weaving (interlacing two sets of yarn to create fabric) and knitting (interlooping yarn to create flexible material).
