Agro-Textiles Testing – METS Laboratories
METS Laboratories offers a comprehensive suite of testing services specifically designed for agro-textiles — technical textiles used in agriculture, horticulture, floriculture, and landscaping. With a focus on durability, UV resistance, biodegradability, and compliance with international standards, we help ensure that these functional fabrics deliver optimal performance in demanding outdoor environments.
Why Agro-Textiles Testing Is Important?
Agro-textiles are critical to improving crop yield, protecting plants, conserving water, and enhancing environmental sustainability. Testing is essential because:
• It ensures material reliability under extreme environmental conditions (UV radiation, rain, wind, temperature).
• It validates claims such as biodegradability, permeability, or strength.
• It helps manufacturers comply with regulatory and environmental standards.
• It increases product lifespan, cost-efficiency, and consumer trust.
What We Test?
We test agro-textiles based on the following parameters and product categories:
• Shade nets
• Anti-hail nets
• Ground covers
• Crop covers
• Windbreak nets
• Insect-proof nets
• Tensile strength (ISO 13934-1 / ASTM D5035)
• Tear resistance (ISO 9073-4 / ASTM D2261)
• Bursting strength (ISO 13938-1)
• UV resistance & light fastness (ISO 105-B02 / ASTM G154)
• Air permeability (ISO 9237)
• Water permeability (ISO 11058)
• Biodegradability (ISO 17556)
• Weight per unit area (ISO 3801)
• Dimensional stability
• Flammability (ISO 6941 / ISO 15025)
• Chemical resistance
