Clothes do fade ... this is kind of truth, while, if fading happens too fast, this is not acceptable. In this article, our textile lab testing engineer Mr. Ho will share his knowledge in predicting the fading performance of fabric…
The standard ISO 11092 uses the sweating guarded hotplate method, the skin model method, to simulate the heat and moisture transfer process close to the human skin, and to test the thermal resistance and water vapor resistance of textiles under…
ASTM D4060: Standard test method for abrasion resistance of organic coating by the Taber abraser. Many mechanical parts require impact resistance, corrosion resistance and wear resistance, but most of the substrate cannot meet these requirements itself. In order to reduce…
The tester found that the test results were quite different from the same sample which measured between laboratory with 21℃, 65% RH and workshop with 28℃, 40% RH. In addition, the temperature and humidity of the sample itself will also affect…
The outdoor durability of textiles is directly related to the color fastness to light. In international trade, many products are returned due to their light fastness rating can not meet the contract requirements, which has caused great losses to enterprises.…
What's the Taber Abrasion Test? Abrasion: in the relative motion of objects in contact with each other, the phenomenon of continuous loss, transfer or residual deformation of surface materials is called abrasion, which is the inevitable result of friction. Most abrasion…
Why do you need to Improve the Safety Performance of Textile Products? The above recall cases are being performed and will continue to be performed. The main reason is that most textile enterprises have not kept up with the changing…
New clothes and bags, tend to be the lady’s favorite. But a bag which you like, can’t be taken out. The reason for the problem， comes from a cloth. What’s going on? News report: A lady bought a cloth, after…
Color Fastness to washing is one of common test items of textile dyeing fastness, mainly testing the color dyeing fastness of textile fabrics for garment and home textile products after one or more simulations of household and commercial washing. The…
In our daily life, we can observe that garments are often subjected to tear and pilling as well as another awkward situation—snagging. The Contrast of the Snag Sweater and the Normal Sweater What is a snag in clothing? Snagging—fiber and yarn…
Washing fastness test is to simulate the color firmness of textiles in different detergents and washing environments. There are many methods for testing the color fastness to washing in laboratory. Different methods may have some differences in temperature, washing liquids,…
Colour fastness of textiles (hereinafter abbreviated as colour fastness) refers to the degree of fading for dyed or printed fabrics under the influence of external factors (extrusion, friction, washing, rain, sun exposure, light, seawater impregnation, saliva impregnation, water impregnation, sweat…
First, what is the correct testing method for textiles? What is most important in textile testing is to reduce errors, and there are four factors that will lead to testing errors: environmental error, sampling error, measurement and instrument error, personnel…
This paper focuses on the various methods to test moisture permeability and the analysis of the influencing factors of test results. Currently, outdoor sports are relatively active, and the outdoor clothing needed will be paid more attention. A good outdoor…
Introduction: The human use the textiles (materials made of fibers) with different forms has been used for thousands of years, and the earliest records of textiles are traced back to fabrics, baskets, and nets on small ceramic tablets 27,000 years…
Introduction The colors of materials depend on the geometric and spectral nature of the illuminating and viewing conditions. This practice specifies standard conditions for appraising the colors and color differences of opaque specimens that are diffusely illuminated. Daylight, the natural…
Whether textile production or trade, the identification of textile fiber is often the first concern. What kind of raw materials, the input ratio of raw materials is often the primary parameter of textile production. In trade, in order to prevent…
To begin with, let’s talk about the design and plan of the overall laboratory. As far as I’m concerned, what the whole lab need is nothing more than several rooms: a constant temperature and humidity laboratory, a ready room, a…
Concept of Tearing Strength Local yarns in fabrics tear in residual rent due to concentrated loads, which is called tearing phenomenon of fabrics. For example, when the fabrics are caught by objects, local yarns will be forced to tear in…
Testing Error ------ the Most Troubling Problem in the Tensile Strength Test of the Textiles After the fabric is made into a textile, it is subjected to various forms of external force during the actual wearing process, such as stretching,…
