Test items
Fiber composition analysis、Color fastness test、Dimensional stability(shrinkage)test、Strength test、Fabric/Garment performance and flammability test、Fibre & yarn test、Greening textiles test、Feather and down product test、Analytical test
Fibre Identification
Apparel and textile products have a high requirement on the fibre identification for the types and percentage of fibre components.
Care Label
Care label can help customers know products’ features, so our tests include: color fastness to wash, color fastness to dry clean, color fastness to chlorinated bleach, dimensional stability to washing, appearance after washing and ironing, etc.
Color Fastness
Color fastness is a basic requirement to reflect product’s quality. Not only does the fading of dyes affect the apparel appearance, but also human skin can absorb dyes.
Color fastness tests basically include color fastness to washing, water, perspiration, rubbing and light.
