Intertek adds new testing services for activewear
14/07/2017
Among the new services it will offer are tests for evaporation/drying rates, water vapour transmission rates and antibacterial/antifungal properties. They are targeted at manufacturers of activewear and outdoor fabrics.
Intertek has said the information from these tests can be used to verify claims of breathability, quick dry and antibacterial qualities in textiles used for various products. It added that the new capabilities complement its existing testing services for wicking, windproofing and UV protection.
Gregg Tiemann, vice president at Intertek said: “At Intertek, our priority has always been providing our customers with innovative solutions to help support functional and performance claims of their products in order to improve their competitive position. Bringing these textile capabilities to the US and building off our existing textile services will help customers in the region leverage our services and expertise in order to bring in-demand fabrics to the industry more quickly and easily.”
