Textile Technology and Chemical Testing

The athleisure trend has blurred the boundaries between functional wear and leisurewear. Functional wear is no longer a niche market, but in the rapidly growing apparel market, it is now seen as a sector in its own right. What is high-performance textiles? High-performance textiles are engineered fabric for multiple-function garments. The performance of textiles is enhanced by a number of processes like the selection/blending of fibers, chemical processing, and finishing in different production stages by dyeing, coating, and laminating. Consumer Awareness and Claim Substantiation When purchasing an item of functional wear or athleisure wear, consumers consider garment function, performance, comfort, value for money, and brand reputation in their buying decisions. Brands should ensure the functional claim(s) of the product in the marketplace must meet the performance requirements for which they are designed and therefore fulfill client expectations. Benefits of Functional Wear Testing from SGS With our state-of-the-art functional testing equipment and expertise, we can help to substantiate product claims by testing fabrics, fabric systems and finished garments to determine their performance during the outdoor and sporting activities for which they are designed. Our service capabilities include: Easy careWear comfortProtectionHealthcareE-Function By helping you comply with national and international regulatory requirements, SGS ensures the quality, safety, and sustainability of your products.
