Quality Assurance
Performance & Quality Testing
Every Seekingtex fabric roll undergoes rigorous performance and quality testing at our laboratory before it ships. Our comprehensive testing provides tangible proof of product excellence.
Testing Procedures
Rigorous Testing at Every Stage
UPF Rating Testing
Fabric samples are tested using spectrophotometry per UV Standard 801 and AS/NZS 4399 to determine the UPF rating. Each batch is verified to meet UPF 50+ standards for effective sun protection.
Water Repellency & Hydrostatic Head Testing
Fabrics undergo spray rating tests (ISO 4920) and hydrostatic pressure tests (ISO 811) to measure water resistance. Results are classified from water-resistant to waterproof at specified pressure ratings.
Moisture Management / Drying Rate Testing
AATCC 195 and similar protocols measure vertical wicking, absorption rate, and drying time to validate quick-dry performance. Fabrics must demonstrate rapid moisture transport and evaporation.
Abrasion Resistance Testing
Fabric samples are subjected to controlled abrasion cycles using the Martindale method (ISO 12947) to measure resistance to wear. Results ensure durability for the intended end-use application.
Tensile & Tear Strength Testing
ASTM D5034 and ISO 13937 methods measure warp and weft tensile strength and tear propagation resistance. Every batch must meet minimum strength specifications before release.
Antibacterial Activity Testing
AATCC 100 and ISO 20743 test methods quantify bacterial reduction rates against Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Our antibacterial fabrics achieve 99%+ reduction rates.
Colorfastness Testing
ISO 105 series tests evaluate colorfastness to light, washing, perspiration, rubbing and water. Each batch is verified for color consistency and retention under specified conditions.
Dimensional Stability Testing
Fabrics are laundered and dried per AATCC 135 to measure shrinkage and distortion. Dimensional stability is verified to ensure garments maintain shape after repeated washing.
Our Commitment
Through these rigorous testing procedures, Seekingtex provides customers with the assurance that our functional fabrics are not only high-performing but also built to last — ensuring consistent quality across every roll. Our quality lab operates independently from production and reports directly to management.
