Burst strength, or puncture strength, top breaking strength, directly reflects the durability index of knitted fabrics when deformed and ruptured by external pressure. Puncture strength is one of the important assessment indexes for the quality of knitted fabrics. If the puncture strength is unqualified, the knitted fabrics can only be downgraded or scrapped even if the other properties are good. How can we accurately test the puncture strength of fabrics to provide a fair appraisal for customers and manufacturers? In this article, we will share the burst strength test methods, and the main fa ..read more

Flammability testing protocols are the cornerstone of product safety and compliance. At the forefront is the UL 94 Flammability Test, which assesses fire resistance.  Let us use an example to illustrate the importance of the UL 94 Flammability Test. Assume a company that produces plastic accessories for electronic devices. The company must ensure that the components adhere to fire resistance protocols. Failure can cause potential fire hazards such as combustion and overheating. The company must subject these plastic parts to the UL 94 Flammability Test. They start by assessing their react ..read more

What is the Hydrostatic Head Test? The Hydrostatic Head Test is a vital procedure that is used to assess the water resistance capability of materials and fabric frequently employed in exterior gears consisting of tents, rain jackets, backpacks, and so more. Of course, it measures the pressure at which water penetrates through the materials. Throughout the test, a sample of the material is fixed over a cylinder and forming a seal. Then, water is gradually applied to the surface of the fabric or material until the droplets start to seep through. And someone also calls it a waterproof rating test ..read more

Color fastness testing generally includes light fastness, weather fastness, wash fastness, rub fastness, perspiration fastness, etc. Sometimes, there are special color fastness requirements for different textiles or usage environments. Typically, in color fastness tests, the degree of color change of the dyed material and the degree of color transfer to the lining material are evaluated. Except for light fastness, which is graded on an eight-level scale, the rest are usually graded on a five-level scale. A higher level indicates better color fastness. This article mainly focuses on ..read more
