One of the mandates of the Philippine Textile Research Institute (PTRI) as a line agency of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) is to undertake the transfer of completed researches to end-users or via linkage units of other government agencies.
Through the transfer of the developed technologies to end-users in the textile industry sector and textile-based cottage, small and medium scale industries, it is hoped that new textile-based industries in the countryside would be developed.
Most of the technologies presented here could be availed of through on-the-job training and/or seminar/workshops offered by the Institute. Seminar/workshops are done in-house or throughout the regions and provinces.
A. Finishing and Dyeing Technologies
B. Handloom Weaving Technologies
