Testex

In the daily operations of a dyeing and printing plant,The accuracy of the final color of polyester fabrics is influenced by many factors, with laboratory sampling accuracy being arguably the most critical. Consistently stabilizing and improving the accuracy of laboratory sampling in a

Pilling Resistance Test Methods

Accurately and objectively evaluating a fabric’s resistance to pilling plays a positive role in the development and production of quality textiles. Numerous test methods exist; they are primarily designed to simulate the phenomenon of surface pilling caused by continuous friction during daily life, actual wear, and laundering. Di...

Reference Method: GB/T 8427-2008 “Textiles — Tests for colour fastness — Colour fastness to artificial light: Xenon arc.” Light source: Xenon arc lamp with a filter system that simulates daylight filtered through window glass. The standard recommends an irradiance of 42 W/m² (wavelength range 300 nm–400 nm) or 1.1 W/m² (at 420 nm).

Color fastness in textiles refers to the degree to which dyed or printed fabrics resist fading or color alteration when exposed to external factors—such as compression, friction, washing, rain, sun exposure, light, seawater, saliva, water s...

You may hear about various heat-generating fabrics all the time, but you might only know the basics… Traditional winter garments—made from materials like cotton batting, down, fur, or synthetic fiber fills—primarily provide warmth by preventing heat loss; however, they suffer from being heavy and bulky.

As aesthetic preferences and demands for comfort have evol...
