Testing by Textile Manufacturing Industry
Surat’s textile industry generates an estimated annual turnover of Rs 1 lakh crore. The city processes raw synthetic fibres into finished fabrics through weaving, dyeing, printing, and finishing. Advanced material characterisation provides the objective data that visual inspection cannot. Head here to read how MNRDC Facilities and Services can help in taking serious business decisions.
Abrasion Resistance (Pin-on-Disc)
Technical textiles used in automotive interiors, industrial filtration, geotextiles, and protective clothing must meet specific abrasion resistance standards. The Pin-on-Disc Tribometer at MNRDC measures how quickly fabric surfaces lose material under controlled friction.
Surface Quality (AFM)
AFM verifies that the coating is uniformly distributed across the fabric surface and has not created roughness that affects fabric hand-feel. Head here to read in-depth AFM Reports at MNRDC of Parul University.
Thermal Analysis (DSC)
This data is critical for setting dyeing temperatures, heat-setting parameters, and ironing temperature specifications for garment labels. Dive deep into the in and out of SEM Testing at MNRDC and understand how you too can start your research journey with MNRDC, Parul University.
The Technical Textile Opportunity
India’s National Technical Textiles Mission targets domestic production growth in medical textiles, geotextiles, agrotextiles, and protective textiles. Surat manufacturers transitioning from commodity fashion fabrics to higher-value technical textiles need material characterisation data to qualify for these markets.
