Textiles Analysis Used in Garments and Upholstery Applications

Textiles have an assortment of uses, the most common of which are for clothing and for containers such as bags and baskets. Textiles are formed by weaving, knitting, crocheting, knotting, or felting. The related words fabric and cloth are often used in textile assembly trades. Many textile industry practitioner are seizing opportunities in the independent innovation of textile to enhance their brand image, carry out industrial adjustments and upgrade their textile catalog.

Aesthetic properties of fabrics have been considered as the most important fabric attribute for years. However, recently there has been a paradigm shift in the domain of textile material applications and consequently more emphasis is now being given on the mechanical and functional properties of fabrics rather than its aesthetic appeal. Moreover, certain woven fabrics used for technical applications, strength is a decisive quality parameter. Thereby, a reverse engineering study can be put up for the comparison of tensile strength of plain woven fabrics.

Alfa Chemistry can solve all your textile deformulation problems using the latest scientific instruments. We offer deformulation (reverse engineering) to all textile products used in garments and upholstery applications on the market. Our comprehensive analysis includes the raw material, dye, additives, coating, batch to batch difference, as well as production process analysis.

Products we have analyzed before:

• All or part of the yarn is made of warp yarns to form evenly distributed perforations.

• All or part of the silk fabrics, which are twisted with each other to form pepper holes.

• Twill weave or twill weave is used. The fabric has a diagonally textured silk fabric.

• A natural silk fabric with a plain weave, a fine texture, a smooth and crisp texture.

• Spinning: plain weave, warp and weft free or weak, light texture, soft silk fabric.

• The use of heavy tissue, multi-color yarn weaving a colorful yarn-dyed jacquard silk fabric.

• A satin-like or satin-finished structure with a smooth, shiny, fine silk fabric.

• The plain weave fabric is applied with filaments for warp, cotton or other yarns for weft, thick texture and clear weave.

• Using plain weave, twill weave, and its changing tissue, weaved by latitude and longitude, followed by fine weft, the surface of the fabric exhibits a transverse woven pattern and a thick silk fabric.

• Using a variety of organizations, the application of thicker latitude and longitude silk thread, rich texture, a sense of silky fabric.

• All or part of a pile fabric, the surface of which presents a pile or pile of silk fabric.

• Plain weave or changeable tissue, intertwined with silk fabrics.
