Physico-mechanical testing for textiles

We offer comprehensive physico-mechanical analysis of textiles, w tym materiałów takich jak włókniny polipropylenowe (PP), włókniny poliestrowe (PES), dzianiny oraz tkaniny obiciowe. Celem jest ocena jakości, trwałości i przydatności tych materiałów w różnych zastosowaniach, co pozwala na optymalizację procesów produkcyjnych oraz dostosowanie produktów do wymogów rynku. Zakres badań obejmuje:

• Surface mass: Measurement of the material mass per unit area, which helps evaluate its structure, density, and functional properties.
• Material thickness: Determination of material thickness, crucial for its mechanical and insulating properties, which affect the comfort and functionality of textiles.
• Upholstery fabric pilling: Assessment of the material's tendency to form pills as a result of friction. Pilling affects the aesthetics, durability, and overall quality of the textile product.
• Material abrasion: Testing the material's resistance to wear caused by friction, essential for assessing the durability of materials, particularly in heavily used fabrics.
• Tensile strength: Analiza odporności materiału na siły rozciągające przy użyciu różnych metod testowych:
  • Strip method: A test of linear stretching of a strip-shaped specimen.
  • Grab Method: Measurement of the strength of a specimen with a limited gripping area.
  • Trapezoidal method: Tensile testing of trapezoidal-shaped specimens to evaluate the strength and structural behavior of the material.
  • Pant method: A test for elastic materials, examining resistance to multidirectional tensile forces.
• Seam slippage: Testing the stability and strength of seams under mechanical loads, which is crucial for the quality of garment construction and other textile products.
• Linear density of yarn: Measurement of the yarn mass per unit length, evaluating its uniformity and strength, which affects the quality of materials in the production of clothing and technical fabrics.
• Puncture resistance: Assessment of the material's resistance to puncture using various tools:
  • Ball method: A test involving the mechanical puncture of the material with a ball of a specified diameter.
  • The nail method: Testing the material's resistance to penetration by a sharp tool, such as a nail.

Application of testing
Our Physico-mechanical testing of textiles are intended for manufacturers and suppliers of textile materials who aim to:

• Optimize production processes: Identify areas requiring improvement to achieve higher quality of final products.
• Adapt products to specific market requirements: Offer textile materials with appropriate mechanical and aesthetic properties that meet industry requirements.
• Ensure compliance with regulations: Meet standards and legal requirements for quality, safety, and performance of textile materials in domestic and international markets.
• Enhance competitiveness: Differentiate their products in the market through durability, aesthetics, and functionality, increasing their value in the eyes of customers.

Through conducted tests, our research provides significant support in the processes of development, certification, and market introduction of textile products. It also aids in meeting consumer demands and technical standards, ensuring high quality and competitiveness of the products
