Let’s explore the complete sizing process in textile, including its purpose, materials, steps, common defects, troubleshooting, and quality control. Learning the practical insights and best practices to improve the efficiency of weaving, reduce warp yarn breakage, and achieve consistent fabric quality through effective sizing and textile testing. Introduction Have you even wondered how some weaving

Are All Fabrics Textiles? In this guide, we will discover the difference between textile and fabric, learn their definitions, manufacturing processes, classifications, applications and, most importantly, why these terms are not interchangeable in textile engineering. Introduction Let me clarify a point: a textile represents the complete chain of fiber-based materials, which begins with raw fibers and ends with a

The ISO 14184 standard for textiles is used to measure formaldehyde content in fabrics for export. The formaldehyde content is determined by water extraction followed by spectrophotometric analysis. Export textile units use Darong’s Textile Formaldehyde Tester YG(B)201G to ensure compliance and testing consistency. Why ISO 14184 Is Still Important for Textile Export Compliance Increasing Buyer Restrictions

Air permeability, or breathability, is the ability of a textile material to allow air to pass through its structure. Improved breathability enhances the comfort, performance, and quality of the product, and the DaRong air permeability tester helps manufacturers accurately evaluate airflow properties, ensuring international compliance, reducing shipment rejections, and maintaining consistent export quality standards. What is

The AATCC 117 test evaluates dye sublimation resistance, particularly for polyester and other synthetic textile materials. It measures thermal dye migration and staining under controlled, high-temperature conditions, ensuring color stability during heat-transfer printing, curing, and industrial finishing processes to ensure reliable textile performance. Definition of Color Fastness to Sublimation Test AATCC 117 is a standardized

What is Moisture Wicking? Moisture wicking fabric or moisture management is one of the most essential properties of textile material, especially in the world of performance and athletic textiles. When designing active wear, medical textiles, or military uniforms, the fabric’s ability to transport moisture away from the skin determines comfort, performance, and usability. AATCC 197:

In the textile industry, two issues that affect the appearance of textile products are snagging and linting. To ensure the maximum performance of the textile material, a testing method known as ASTM D3939 is used to assess its resistance to snag. A Mace Snag tester is used to perform this test. This article will guide

How to Test Textile Formaldehyde In this article, we will demonstrate how to test textile formaldehyde using DaRong’s YGB201G Formaldehyde Tester for textiles.This test follows the standard GB/T 2912.1 — Determination of Formaldehyde — Water Extraction Method.Begin by sampling. Cut two pieces from the fabric sample, shred them, and weigh 1 gram.Place the shredded sample

Surface Ignition in Flammability Testing In this article, we will demonstrate a lab procedure of the flammability test, also called textile burn test: surface ignition using DaRong’s YG(B)815CV Flammability Tester In this video demonstration, we will show how to use the YGB815CV Fabric Flammability Tester to conduct surface ignition. The sample size is 560 mm

The AATCC 128 wrinkle recovery test evaluates the fabric’s physical appearance after forcefully inducing wrinkles. The fabric specimen is placed under a predetermined load for 20 minutes in standard atmospheric conditions. After that, it is conditioned for 24 hours, and then its physical appearance is rated with reference to a 3-dimensional standard. Fabric Wrinkle Recovery
