Our textile testing is central to a practical application of this material. Thanks to our years of experience in testing, using and cleaning of textiles, our substantial knowledge within this area and the possibilities offered by extensive testing we can offer:
In addition, we test textile fire behaviour and a quality evaluation of textile care. Are you interested in textile research? Please contact us.
Our textile testing is aimed at the application of textile materials. Of course we also offer all kinds of standard tests. Feel free to ask for information if you are in need of something that is not listed on this website.
There are many companies that are able to test your textiles, but very few who combine this with knowledge of the industrial applications. Therefore we have specialised our self in this direction. In addition to all kinds of standard tests, we are also able to do "damage" research and mediation.
Research possibilities
Our capabilities of textile testing can roughly be divided in the following areas:
physical tests (e.g. tensile strength)
application tests (is the product suitable for a specific application?)
performance tests (how does a product perform under different conditions)
damage research (something has happened... What is the cause and who is responsible?)
quality evaluation (independent measurement of the quality of a textile package, this can be used as the basis for a taxation)
Physical testing
These test characterise a product and are almost always performed following international standards.

Tensile strength |
Determination of the tensile strength (wet or conditioned) |
Threads |
Amount of threads in warp and/or weft direction |
Specific weight |
Weight per m2 |
Application research
Measuring of specific application parameters to characterise if a product will meet the requirements

Isolating capacity |
Measuring of the isolating capacity of e.g. quilts |
Absorption capacity |
Absorbing capacity of incontinent material |
Performance testing
With these tests we are able to test/predict how a product will perform under specific process conditions.

Colour fastness, |
A broad range of tests (ISO105), measuring colourfastness, against temperature, bleaching etc |
Pilling |
Fastness to rubbing for synthetic of partly synthetic materials (Martindale) |
For implementation of damage research we have developed a special basic research. Against small costs, frequently we can answer you sufficient on your questions at damage. If req uired, examination can be always more extensive and detailed.

Customised research, this can be a combination of textile research, consultancy and mediation between parties |
Evaluation of quality level
We have developed a special system for characterising the quality (value) of products. This system can be used to have an independent consultant determine the state of a larger amount of products that are already used.
