Non-wovens Testing

These can be broadly defined as a web or sheet structures that have been bonded together by entangling fiber or filaments mechanically, thermally, or chemically. They are flat, porous sheets that are made directly from separate fibers or from molten plastic or plastic film.

The term non woven fabric originated in the textile manufacturing industry to denote fabrics that are neither woven or knitted. An example of a non woven fabric is wool felt. And there are many times, such as non woven geotextile fabrics.

At Kason we help non woven fabric manufacturers and users to test their products or accurately select the proper materials appropriate for their industry and application. We offer many different types of material testing services and we can even custom build devices for unique applications.  

Non woven testing types

Here are some of the types of non woven fabric tests that we can support you with to any international standard, including ASTM D4685. We also offer a large number of additional services – get in touch, we’d love to tell you all about them!  

Non woven burst strength testing

Need to understand how much pressure your non woven fabrics will withstand before they rupture? Our burst test and inspection machines will give you the results you need, under controlled conditions.

Non woven permeation testing

A non woven fabric will either block permeation, or it will allow the passage of these substances – a filtration effect. So, it’s essential to select the correct material.  

Non woven tear strength testing

Tear strength testing reveals the amount of force necessary to rip a non woven with a pre-cut slit. We can also help with everything from peel strength testing to yield strength, delamination, and shear strength inspection.
