Nonwoven fabrics dimensional change evaluation
The nonwoven fabrics industry has seen significant growth in recent years due to their versatility and wide range of applications. From healthcare products like bandages and surgical gowns to automotive components, these materials play a crucial role in various sectors. One critical aspect of quality control for nonwovens is dimensional stability testing, particularly focusing on shrinkage behavior during processing or use.
The process involves evaluating how much a sample will contract under specified conditions such as temperature and humidity exposure. This evaluation helps manufacturers ensure that the final product meets both functional requirements and customer expectations without excessive shrinkage leading to quality issues down the line.
Dimensional stability testing ensures that nonwoven materials perform consistently across different environments, which is vital for industries relying heavily on uniformity such as medical textiles or automotive interiors. By understanding how much a material can change shape over time and under various conditions, companies can optimize manufacturing processes to minimize waste while maintaining product integrity.
Our laboratory specializes in providing accurate and reliable dimensional stability evaluations using state-of-the-art equipment tailored specifically for nonwoven fabrics. Our team of experts follows international standards like ISO 17295:2018 to ensure consistent results that are repeatable and reproducible.
The tests we conduct include soaking samples in controlled environments, measuring their dimensions before and after exposure, then calculating the percentage shrinkage or expansion. We also offer custom testing options based on customer specifications if needed. Our reports provide detailed analysis including raw data points alongside interpretation to help clients make informed decisions about material selection.
- Highly accurate measurement tools
- Controlled environmental chambers for consistent testing conditions
- ISO-compliant procedures ensuring reliable results
- Comprehensive reporting including raw data and interpretation
