Linen fibre has a ‘natural fibre queen’ reputation. In the early 10th century, linen was a high-grade textile in Europe. It is now a benchmark for expensive foreign decorative fabrics. In China, the modern linen textile industry began in the early 1950s. Recently, the rapid growth of linen textiles created new demands for raw materials….

Introduction In the garments manufacturing process, the fabric material’s quality directly affects the finished garments’ quality. Understanding the standards for a qualified garment begins with fabric inspection, which is a crucial step. This is especially important for outerwear garments like down jackets, where the fabric’s unique properties highlight the significance of textile quality testing. Importance…

Introduction Every autumn and winter, a “warm” war erupts in the textile and clothing market. High-tech brands compete with their cold and warm clothing. They claim to be three times as warm. And they have a self-heating feature and a constant 37℃ temperature. They use super warm materials and “warm black technology.” They say they…

In the textile and apparel industry, color fastness to rubbing is a critical indicator of quality. It not only determines the appearance of the product but also influences consumer satisfaction and the product’s durability. A fabric that performs poorly in a color fastness to rubbing test can lead to a frustrating experience for both manufacturers…

When purchasing garments, we often look at the sun protection index and the ultraviolet (UV) blocking rate of the materials. It’s also essential to understand the UV protection capabilities of our clothing and everyday items, as the effects of UV exposure are closely linked to our health. Let’s explore the following questions together: What is…

Why should I choose ASTM D7984 for Cool Feel Fabrics? They chose ASTM D7984 for Cool Feel fabric testing. It measures a textile’s thermal conductivity and fugacity. This quantifies a fabric’s insulation and conductivity. This method uses a modified transient planar heat source (MTPS) method. A single-sided heat sensor heats the sample surface for 1-3…

Hydrostatic pressure index is one of the important indexes of waterproof and moisture permeable fabrics. Hydrostatic pressure refers to the resistance encountered by the water through the fabric, under standard atmospheric pressure conditions, the fabric to withstand a continuous rise in water pressure, until the back of the fabric seepage water droplets, at this time,…

Hydrostatic pressure resistance is a key measure of waterproof, breathable fabrics. It refers to the resistance when water passes through the fabric. It indicates how much the fabric resists water penetration. The hydrostatic pressure resistance method measures two things. It tests the fabric’s waterproofness and its nature. Fabrics’ water repellency can be measured by three…

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,…
