Learn about fabric air permeability testing in one article

Fabric air permeability

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?…

Interpretation of the standard for colour fastness to washing:GB/T3921—2008、ISO105-C06:2010

Interpretation of the standard for colour fastness to washing

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.

Fabric shrinkage: different process test methods, common fabric shrinkage data

Fabric shrinkage

Fabric shrinkage, or elastic elongation, is the ratio of its length increase to its original length. Under certain conditions, we apply a tensile force at this point. It measures a fabric’s elasticity. It often describes its ability to deform under an external force. The stretch of a fabric has a significant impact on the fit,…
