Laboratory Facilities
Specialised Testing Departments
Physical Testing Lab
Checks fabric construction, strength and durability so you know how the material will hold up in real use.
- Tensile, tear & bursting strength
- Seam strength & seam slippage
- Pilling – Martindale, ICI Box, Random Tumble
- Abrasion resistance
- Fabric weight (GSM), thread count & weave
- Stretch, elasticity & air permeability
Yarn Testing Lab
Validates yarn properties before production to prevent faults in weaving, knitting and finishing.
- Yarn count & count variation
- Twist per inch / metre (TPI / TPM)
- Single yarn strength & elongation
- Spinning system identification (Ring, O/E, MVS)
- Filament count & structure (FDY / DTY)
Colour Fastness Lab
Measures how well dyes and prints resist washing, rubbing, sweat, light and heat.
- Colour fastness to washing
- Colour fastness to rubbing (dry & wet)
- Colour fastness to perspiration & water
- Colour fastness to light
- Colour fastness to hot pressing
Wash Performance Lab
Simulates home laundering to confirm garments keep their size, shape and appearance after care.
- Dimensional stability (shrinkage)
- Spirality, bow & skewness
- Appearance after repeated washing
- Crease recovery & durable press
- Care label verification
- Print & embellishment durability
Chemical Testing Lab
Analyses fibre content and screens for restricted substances to support buyer and regulatory compliance.
- Fibre composition (qualitative & quantitative)
- pH value of textiles
- Formaldehyde content
Flammability & Accessories Lab
Safety and functional tests for apparel fabrics and the trims that go on them.
- Burning behaviour – 45° flame spread
- Vertical flame test
- Zipper strength & operation
- Button & snap pull test
- Corrosion resistance of metal trims
- Sharp edge & small parts check

Accurate Results You Can Rely On
Conditioned Atmosphere
Samples are conditioned and tested at 20 ± 2°C and 65 ± 4% RH as required by textile test standards.
Calibrated Equipment
Instruments are calibrated and verified on a fixed schedule to keep results accurate.
Sample Traceability
Each sample gets a unique lab code and is tracked from receiving to final report.
Technical Review
Every report is checked by a senior technician before it is released to you.
