How to Improve Wash Color Fastness Testing Efficiency and Accuracy in Textile Labs Washing is a common treatment for textile materials used in clothing. At home, many people provide this treatment for their clothes. Different types of textile materials require…
Introduction ASTM standards in the leather industry are essential to maintaining quality. Testing follows ASTM standards. This is important to make sure leather products last and work well. Many educators and manufacturers use standardized tests to check various properties of…
Antimicrobial fabric finishing is a practical treatment for protective textiles. It uses several methods to test how well they perform. This article covers methods for testing textiles. It studies both qualitative and quantitative methods to assess how fabrics fight germs.…
The tensile strength test measures how much force leather can handle when stretched. This test shows how durable the leather is under stress. This ensures that leather products resist tearing or breaking during actual use. Testing helps manufacturers learn about…
Introduction Fabric pilling and snagging are common issues affecting textiles' durability and appearance. Various standardized tests evaluate a fabric’s resistance to these defects. This article will explore key pilling and snagging test methods: the Martindale Test, Random Tumble Pilling Test,…
AI made textile defect detection more accurate and consistent than old inspection methods. AI machines quickly spot fabric problems. They detect holes, stains, weave issues, strange patterns, and dyeing faults. They use computer vision and machine learning algorithms for…
Flame retardant testing for textiles is essential for user safety and international compliance. Flame resistance testing involves exposing a fabric to flame to determine its extinguishing behavior, resistance to fire, and char length in case of fabric damage. Different…
Fabric tears occur when a sharp object catches on it. A small puncture can quickly turn into a long trip with just a little extra force. The relevant test is called Elmendorf Tearing Test and today we will share with…
American Society of American Society gives the ASTM D4966 standard for Testing and Materials. This textile testing standard ensures the quality of fabric against abrasion. Martindale tester is used to measure the fabric abrasion resistance. Here we will discuss…
Pilling is considered a quality disorder of a fabric. It occurs on the fabric surface due to wear and abrasion. The hairiness of yarn forms small balls of fiber on the garment’s surface, which does not look good. A…
The colorfastness property of textiles is a very important parameter from a selling point of view. Numerous factors can affect the fabric's original shade, so quality assurance regarding colorfastness is essential. In this article, we will discuss the most…
Bursting strength is the property of a material and how it behaves when applied with water column pressure. In textiles, this testing method is applied on woven, non-woven, and knitted fabrics to measure the fabric's strength against bursting. The…
Textile fibre combustion identification method is a simple and easy to use, commonly used, fast and at the same time more accurate identification method, by observing the fibre in the combustion process of different performance, such as shrinkage, melting, burning…
Definition of Water Vapour Transmission (WVT) The mass of water vapour that passes, vertically, through a unit area of a specimen in a set time at a specified temperature and humidity on both sides. In grams per square metre per…
The Testing Principle of Textile Waterproof Performance Test The testing principles of textile waterproof performance testing mainly include hydrostatic pressure method and water immersion method. The hydrostatic method assesses the water resistance of textiles by applying hydrostatic pressure to the…
Purpose and scope of the ISO 9237 air permeability test The ISO 9237 air permeability test aims to measure a textile's gas exchange. It does this by determining its differential pressure. The test applies to both medical-surgical and other textile…
You can check if a fabric is flammable through several tests. First you can assess the material composition. Then, conduct the standardized flammability tests. The main test is governed by ASTM. The tests estimate the rate of flame spread. It…
A good burst strength testing machine is one of the essential devices for any of the textile manufacturers as it ensures high quality of products. Do you have a problem with fabric durability with complaints from your customers? You are…
Testing fabrics for fastness to light is necessary to ensure their durability and longevity in additional applications. We understand light fastness as the material color's resistance to shrinking or changing when exposed to light, especially sunlight. Of course, this effect…
Sometimes the results from the Taber Abrasion Test are not consistent and there can be many reasons for this. In the field of material (fabric) evaluation, understanding wear indicators like pilling or color change can be confusing. Determining the appropriate…
