Textiles suffer many types of damage in daily use. Tensile, compression, bending, and friction cause the most important effects. These forces lead to fracture, tearing, and breaking. So, the textile’s tensile, tearing, and breaking properties directly affect the product’s durability. They also determine the textile’s quality. Tensile strength testing assesses the basic properties of textiles….
The test simulates how textiles keep their color. It does so under different conditions. Many types of colour fastness tests exist. These include soap, water, sweat, and light resistance. But, the tests differ in how they sample. Different staff take samples differently, even with the same test method. Habits, judgment, and other factors affect their…

As the weather turns warmer, the temperature rises. People wear thinner clothes. They wear fewer of them. This makes air permeability especially important! Good, breathable clothes can evaporate body sweat. So, fabric breathability is key to fabric comfort. Application of air permeability in textile industry Garment industry: Air permeability is an important comfort indicator for…
Have you ever seen the scene pictured below while watching a sporting event? Isn’t it a great body? Isn’t it wild? Today, we’ll focus on the clothes, not the athletes’ looks.
