Fibre & Filaments Testing – METS Laboratories
At METS Laboratories, our Fibre & Filaments Testing division is dedicated to scientifically analyzing natural, synthetic, and regenerated fibers across diverse industries. Whether it’s textile, automotive, nonwovens, geotextiles, or composites, we help you ensure material quality, performance, and regulatory compliance through accurate, reproducible testing techniques. Our ISO/IEC 17025: 2017 accredited labs employ cutting-edge technologies and internationally recognized standards to provide confidence and clarity in your material assessments.
Why Fibre & Filaments Testing Is Important?
Fibre and filament properties directly affect the safety, comfort, durability, and sustainability of products. Testing is crucial because it helps to:
• Validate raw material quality and consistency
• Assess performance parameters such as strength, elongation, thermal resistance, and moisture regain
• Ensure compliance with global standards (e.g., ISO, AATCC, BIS)
• Reduce product recalls, failures, and complaints
• Enhance R&D outcomes and optimize product design
• Support sustainability declarations and recycling claims
What We Test?
• Fiber Identification (via FTIR, microscopy, solubility)
• Linear Density (Denier/Tex)
• Tenacity & Elongation (Single & Bundle Fibre)
• Crimp Characteristics
• Moisture Regain & Content
