 Reveal the standards for textile breathability testing and let you understand it in seconds!



Breathability testing is a measure of how much gas can pass through a textile. However, there is no single "optimal" air permeability value, as it depends on the specific circumstances in which the textile is used. For example, if it is used to make sportswear, it is hoped that it has good breathability; if it is used to make insulating clothes or warm clothes, it is hoped that it can block the cold well. Therefore, when testing the air permeability of textiles, the purpose of using the textile must be clearly understood in order to obtain reasonable values. In order to accurately and quickly test the true breathability performance of a sample, specially designed and developed instruments must be used. Testing methods generally include: fabric thickness (Thickness), fabric density (Density), fabric water absorption rate (Water Absorption Rate), evaporation and mass transfer (Moisture Transfer Rate, MTR), moisture conduction (Wicking Performance), sweat smell (Odor Resistance) etc.


The air permeability of fabric refers to the air permeability of the fabric when there is a pressure difference on both sides of the fabric, that is, the volume of air flowing through the unit area of the fabric per unit time under a specified pressure difference on both sides of the fabric. Breathability will affect the microclimate zone formed by the human body surface and clothing. This microclimate directly affects the comfort of the human body. For example, general clothing is required to be cool, transparent, and not stuffy. This microclimate requires more exchanges with outside air, which is conducive to human body heat dissipation, so the fabric is required to have a certain degree of breathability; while winter clothing requires warmth, which requires The microclimate should be as stable as possible to reduce body heat loss. At this time, clothing must be windproof, that is, have low breathability. Therefore, for taking products, breathability is an important performance that cannot be ignored.


What are the testing principles and testing standards for breathability?


The test principle of air permeability is to measure the air flow rate vertically passing through a given area of the sample within a certain period of time under specified pressure difference conditions, and calculate the air permeability.


At present, the commonly used air permeability testing methods at home and abroad mainly include GB/T 5453-1997 "Determination of Air Permeability of Textile Fabrics", ISO 9237:1995 "Determination of Air Permeability of Textile Fabrics", ASTM D737-2018 "Test of Air Permeability of Textile Fabrics" Method" etc.

Tinuvin 1130: An Excellent UV Absorber

 In the field of the chemical industry, UV absorbers play a crucial role, particularly in protecting materials from UV damage. Today, we will delve into a highly regarded UV absorber—Tinuvin 1130. Tinuvin 1130 : chemical name: 3-(3-(2H-benzotriazole-2-yl)-4-hydroxy-5-tert-butyl phenyl)propionic acid polyethylene glycol 300 ester; CAS login number: 104810-48-2. This product is an exceptional UV absorber that offers numerous benefits due to its unique properties. One of the standout features of Tinuvin 1130 is its excellent weather resistance. It has a strong ability to absorb ultraviolet rays, particularly those with wavelengths ranging from 290-400nm. This effectively prevents coatings, plastics, rubber, and other materials from being damaged by UV rays, thereby maintaining the performance and appearance stability of these materials and extending their service life. In addition, Tinuvin 1130 exhibits good compatibility. It is easy to emulsify in water-based systems and can be...

Medical Mask Synthetic Blood Penetration Tester

Surgical Masks Synthetic Blood Penetration Resistance Tester Medical Face Mask Synthetic Blood Penetration Resistance Tester is mainly used in the blood penetration test of masks, which ensures that medical masks can have enough protection to prevent the penetration of blood after splashing from bringing danger to users. It is an essential part of mask test, especially for medical masks. Face Mask Synthetic Blood Penetration Resistance Tester can be used not only to detect synthetic blood penetration resistance of medical masks, but also to detect other textile coating materials. When in use, it can be used to detect different directions only by adjusting the appropriate parameters, thus improving the practicability and working efficiency of the equipment to the greatest extent. Mask Synthetic Blood Penetration Tester  Standards: GB 19083-2010 Technical requirements of medical face masks - Anti-penetration property of 5.5 synthetic blood. YY/T 0691-2008 Clothing for protection agai...

Ink Abrasion Tester For Ink Layer Abrasion Test

        Abrasion resistance of ink layer is one important parameter that is used to evaluate the printing quality. If the abrasion resistance of the ink layer is poor, the printed words on the paper or paperboard may become illegible and the part with printed area may be abraded in transportation, storage or in use.                   As a result, the printed words will be not able to be read by the customers, which cause inconvenience or misunderstanding and thus the product image would be compromised. Therefore, it is necessary for the manufacturers to test the abrasion resistance of the ink layer on the paper or paperboard before use.         Often during the shipping or handling process, printed products will be exposed to a degree of abrasion to its surface. Regardless of quality or perfection of the printed product, a scuffed, rubbed off or scratched surface would render it a print defect...
