Textile manufacturers
A textile's performance is decided in use: does it endure abrasion, hold its colour, deliver its strength? The distance between the customer specification and reality shows up in measurement — before shipment.
Typical situations
- demonstrating a customer specification (abrasion cycles, fastness grade);
- introducing a new base material or dye — measuring its effect;
- qualifying lining and upper materials for footwear and leather-goods use;
- measuring protective-clothing materials against their requirements;
- in complaints: manufacturing defect or unintended use.
How BIMEO helps
- Abrasion (Martindale): rub resistance to a defined cycle count;
- Colour fastness: to rubbing, to perspiration;
- Strength characteristics: tensile and tear strength;
- Ageing: simulating heat and humidity;
- For welding protective clothing: EU type-examination as a notified body (EN ISO 11611).
What you receive
A test report with the measured values and — where tested against a specification or standard — evaluation against its requirements, in a form you can pass straight on to your customer.
