ISO 12945-2: Test Method for Surface Pilling Using the Martindale Abrasion Tester Pills are formed when fibers on a fabric surface migrate out and become entangled during wear. Such surface deterioration is generally undesirable, but consumer tolerance for a given pilling level depends on the garment type and fabric end-use. Introducing the ISO 12945-2:2020, a comprehensive standard that provides ...

A Complete Guide to ISO 37 Testing Solution This standard specifies methods for determining the tensile stress-strain properties of vulcanized rubber and thermoplastic rubber. Measurable properties include tensile strength, elongation at break, stress at a given elongation, elongation at a given stress, yield stress, and yield elongation. However, the measurement of yield stress and yield elongati...
ISO 105-B02 Colour Fastness of Textiles - Light Fastness Tester ISO 105-B02 is a testing standard published by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) concerning the lightfastness of textiles. This standard specifies a method for evaluating the lightfastness of textiles by simulating exposure to daylight (D65 light source) using a xenon arc lamp apparatus. Scope of ISO 105-B02 ISO...
Washing Colorfastness Tester Guide: Process, Uses, and Advantages Color fastness is the quality benchmark of choice across the textile industry, as it directly determines a fabric’s appearance retention, durability, and market reputation. Among all fastness properties, color fastness to wash is the most widely evaluated, as regular laundering is the leading cause of color fading and staining in ev...
