Fiber Identification

Fiber is the fundamental component of textiles. Testing fiber properties is vitally important. Fiber Identification is an important first step when developing the base for your textile product. Various laboratory methods are available to identify the structural, physical and chemical properties of a fiber, including microscopic, burn and solubility tests.

Almost all textile products sold in the EU, the US and other international markets have to be certified as fit for sale. Fiber identification lab tests are an essential part of the certification process so products can be properly labeled and allowed on the market.

STEMart provides comprehensive fiber identification services to provide inspection reports that meet relevant regulations and international standards, thus proving the quality and safety of textile products.

Test Items

• Physical properties

The physical properties of textile fibers include strength, elongation, breaking strength, tear strength, elongation at break, etc.

• Chemical composition and fiber structure
• Fiber length and fineness

Fiber length and fineness have a great impact on the spinning and weaving process and the appearance quality of the product.

• Fiber surface and morphology

The surface morphology of fibers has a direct impact on the grip, abrasion resistance and neatness of textiles.

• Fiber color

The color of fiber has a great influence on the appearance quality and aesthetics of textiles.

• Fiber content testing

The fiber content of raw materials will directly affect the quality of the finished product. Fiber content is a basic and important item in textile testing.

• Cotton fiber content
• Glass fiber content
• Cashmere fiber content
• Wool fiber content
• Nylon fiber content
