Textile anti-virus international testing standards issued

Recently, the International Organization for Standardization (iso) officially released the 'Testing Standards for Antiviral Textiles' (iso18184:2014), which specifies the test methods for the antiviral properties of textiles (including woven and knitted fabrics, fibers, yarns, etc.). The release of this standard marks a new progress in the research and development of the international functional textile testing technology and evaluation system, and functional textiles have entered a new era of anti-virus. Functional textiles are different from general textiles, mainly including comfortable functional textiles, hygiene and health care functional textiles, protective functional textiles, etc. Among them, hygiene and health care functional textiles are further subdivided into antibacterial, far-infrared radiation, negative ions and other functions, and antiviral functions are the latest development trend. my country is a big exporter of textiles, but the technical content of the exported textiles is not high and the added value is low, especially the export ratio of functional textiles is low. The continuous improvement of the international functional textile standard system, on the one hand, provides technical guidance for export enterprises in product development and design, and on the other hand forms a technical barrier to related export products. To this end, we call on textile R&D units and production enterprises to keep abreast of the development trend of international textiles, concentrate on research and development of high value-added functional textiles, and guide product design and production in strict accordance with the latest requirements, so as to successfully occupy the international high-end market for my country's export textiles. contribute. The introduction of the new standard has also given my country's textile enterprises a clear goal. To advance to the functional textile product industry and improve the added value and technical content of textiles is also a problem that my country's textile enterprises must face. Play the role of the follower, and can't get out of the industry's predicament.

In today's world, have risen to an unexpected level of tensile tester manufacturers. It has gained a lot of popularity and has come up with different kinds of variations in its content.

GESTER International Co.,Limited intends to make enough profit to generate a fair return for our investors and to finance continued growth and development in textile testing equipment.

GESTER International Co.,Limited expects to reach the desired profits in the first year and does not anticipate serious cash flow problems.

The key to textile testing equipment is understanding where there is a problem or need in certain markets and knowing how to solve it.

Water Resistance Testing Standards and Methods
Textile water resistance testing evaluates fabrics through three primary methods: hydrostatic pressure (measuring water penetration resistance), spray rating (assessing surface water repellency), and water repellency tests (quantifying water absorption). Hydrostatic pressure testing is critical for high-performance applications like outdoor apparel and diving gear, while spray rating evaluates surface staining for rainwear. Water repellency tests, such as the Bundesmann method, determine overall
