TPE II - 413: TEXTILE PRODUCT EVALUATION II
• Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis:
• Difference between Qualitative and Quantitative analysis; Identification of various fibres viz Cotton, Viscose, Polyester, Wool,
Acrylic and Nylon by, microscopic viewing, burning, dissolving and staining techniques. Quantitative analysis of common
blends and Qualitative analysis of damaged cotton.
• Oil and Water Repellency Tests.
• Wicking and Wetting of Textiles, Water Proofing, Shower proofing, water and oil Repellency.
• Flammability Tests:
• Factor affecting textile Flammability 45O and vertical flammability tester. Flammability regulations.
• Process and equipment used to determine Dimensional Stability; Factors Affecting Dimensional Stability, Garment and Fabric
Appearance, Bow and Skewness evaluation.
• Pilling and Abrasion Tests: Introduction and Factors effecting Pilling and Abrasion and its measurement.
• Subjective and Objective handle evaluation. Care labels and their importance.
• Colourfastness Tests.
• Importance of Fastness properties, Methods and equipment used to determine colour fastness to sun light, Washing,
Laundering, Dry and Wet, rubbing, Perspiration, Dry cleaning, bleaching, Water, Sea water, Identification of dyes: powder
form and on dyed fabrics.

On Line • Done during Production
• To improve Quality
• To produce as per customer
Testing Specification
• Done by third Party (SGS, ITS, CTL
Off Line etc.)
• Required by buyer such as Next,
Mango, Walmart, ASDA, DESCO
Testing etc. to ensure that supplier is
producing as per their specification
