In today’s textile market, consumers care most about quality and comfort. To ensure that textiles meet high standards of quality, laboratory testing is essential. A textile laboratory tests and evaluates textiles. It is a scientific research facility. Design and Construction Considerations Laboratory Floor Plan Design the lab layout based on its purpose and requirements. Consider…

ISO 12947-2 Martindale Abrasion Pilling Test Purpose and Scope The ISO 12947-2 Martindale test checks fabrics for abrasion and pilling resistance. The ISO 12947-2 standard gives a method to test fabrics for abrasion and pilling. It is for the Martindale Abrasion Pilling Test. This test method applies to many fabrics, including cotton, wool, and synthetics….

The introduction of cool fabrics Summer clothing’s moisture absorption and quick-drying functions are lacking. They do not meet people’s needs, especially after intense exercise and sweating. The existing fabrics have limited moisture transfer and thermal conductivity. Developers created moisture-conducting and cool-sensitive fabrics that are unidirectional. The development of cool-sensitive fabrics focuses on two things. First,…

Hydrostatic pressure resistance is a key test of waterproof, breathable fabrics. It refers to the resistance to water passing through the fabric. It indicates the fabric’s resistance to water penetration. The test results relate to the fabric’s waterproofness and its nature. We can measure a fabric’s water repellency by three indexes: the water stain level,…

Pilling of garments refers to a common problem. When worn, garments suffer friction. This exposes the surface fibres of the fabric. They then form pilling. With continued friction, the fibres become entangled and form small balls. Pilling is a dynamic performance. The pilling speed often changes with the wearing time. As consumers demand thin, soft,…

We usually wear clothes. Jumpers are easy to deform. Knitted trousers wear holes at the knees first. Socks sometimes have toes that poke out. Consumers often wonder if these problems are due to poor fabric quality. Or the characteristics of the fabric itself? In fact, these questions boil down to whether the fabric is durable…

Air permeability affects the wearing comfort of fabrics, such as insulation and warmth. Fabric air permeability is key for the body. It lets heat, moisture, and gases like carbon dioxide escape. Air permeability of clothing is one of the basic requirements for comfort. How do we test for this sensory, not rational, air permeability requirement?…

Abrasion resistance is a key quality indicator for textiles. It affects the product’s durability and use. It refers to the fabric’s resistance to wear from repeated friction with other things. Definition of Pilling Clothes will rub against each other when worn and washed. If the friction is greater than the fibre strength, it will expose…

The colour fastness of textiles to washing refers to the ability of textiles to maintain the original colour (hue, colour depth) after washing under the specified washing conditions, i.e. the textiles will not fade or change colour after washing, which is an important indicator reflecting the quality of printing and dyeing products. The unqualified discolouration…

The drying rate of performance textiles is usually defined as the ability of a fabric to dry quickly by air circulation or other means after absorbing moisture in a humid environment. This indicator is often used to measure the moisture absorption and quick drying performance of fabrics to keep the wearer dry and comfortable. Common…
