Synthetic Fiber Testing

Synthetic fiber is a chain of small units of chemical substance joined together through chemical synthesis. Common synthetic fibers include rayon, spandex, nylon, polyolefin, acrylic, polyurethane, polypropylene and polyester. Synthetic fibers are more durable, elastic, strong, soft, cheap, and do not wrinkle easily. Thus, they are used to produce caps, raincoats, sportswear, nets for fishing, seat belts and ropes.

STEMart provides a wide range of testing services to evaluate the properties of synthetic fibers to help manufacturer:

• Quality control and quality assurance
• Process optimization during fiber production and further processing
• Product development of fibers
• Input and output controls for monitoring specifications
• Failure analysis in each stage of production
• Investigation into how textile articles behave in use
