Assuring product performance against different environmental conditions
Textiles and fabrics under exposure conditions, such as solar irradiance, temperature and moisture, can often sustain fading, color change, surface erosion, loss of gloss and numerous other deteriorations. For this reason, Weathering Testing for textiles is necessary to ensure the fabrics meet their projected functionality and lifetime.
Can your apparel and fashion fabrics retain their color against various environmental impacts? Can they survive outdoors? All these questions can be answered by professional weathering tests. Intertek’s high-performance experts can provide a broad range of in-depth weathering testing services to the fashion and textile industries.
