Industrial Textile Testing & Audits
We specialize in polymer fiber lubricant analysis, anti-friction coatings for heavy loom weaving, and tensile strength evaluations of synthetic yarns under thermal stress. Our work is built around measurable outcomes for textile engineering teams.
Lubricant Viscosity Analysis
Friction coefficients and film thickness under load.
Thermal Stress Tensile Testing
Breaking strength and elongation at elevated temperatures.
Coating Wear Resistance
Comparative durability of anti-friction treatments on loom parts.
Process Condition Audits
On-site evaluation of lubrication schedules and yarn handling.
How the audit works
Every engagement follows the same disciplined sequence. We keep the process transparent so your quality team knows what to expect at each stage and can plan production downtime accordingly.
You send us your fiber type, yarn count, loom specifications, and the specific lubricant or coating you are using. We confirm the testing parameters, sample quantities, and the timeline for the audit.
We condition your yarn samples in a controlled environment and record baseline tensile strength, elongation, and friction values. This step ensures that any later changes are attributed to the treatment, not to ambient conditions.
We apply the fiber lubricant or anti-friction coating under controlled viscosity and temperature settings. The treated samples are then conditioned for a defined period to simulate real production dwell times.
Using a calibrated tensile tester, we measure breaking strength and elongation at specified temperatures that match your weaving environment. Each sample set is tested multiple times to ensure statistical reliability.
We compare treated versus untreated samples, evaluate friction coefficients, and identify any anomalies in yarn behavior. The analysis focuses on practical outcomes: breakage rates, loom efficiency, and coating durability.
You receive a full report with raw data tables, test conditions, and clear recommendations on lubricant grade, coating type, or process adjustments. We also flag any risks related to thermal degradation or excessive friction.
We'll walk through your current fiber lubrication setup and identify where viscosity or coating adjustments can reduce loom downtime.
Client Feedback
We work with textile mills and synthetic fiber producers across the region. Their words reflect the consistency of our audit reports and the practical value of our tensile testing data.
The lubrication audit report gave us a clear picture of where our yarn friction was spiking. We adjusted the viscosity grade on two lines and saw breakage drop noticeably within a week.
Marta S.
Production Supervisor, Synthetic Yarn Mill
Their tensile testing under thermal stress matched the real failures we were seeing in our polyester line. The updated testing framework they proposed is now part of our QC routine.
Daniel K.
Quality Control Engineer, Textile Components
The coating comparison saved us from a costly trial-and-error process. We switched to a ceramic-based treatment for our heavy looms and extended maintenance intervals by a third.

Straight answers about our industrial testing and audit procedures.
We inspect your current lubricant application system, measure viscosity and film thickness on yarn surfaces, and compare friction coefficients against your loom speed and tension settings. The final report includes specific adjustments to application rates and recommended lubricant grades for your machinery.
Samples are conditioned in a temperature-controlled chamber at specified heat levels, then pulled to break on a universal testing machine. We record breaking strength, elongation at break, and modulus. Results are compared against baseline data collected at standard room temperature to quantify thermal degradation.
We handle polyester, nylon, polypropylene, aramid, and most technical yarns used in industrial weaving and cordage. If you work with a less common polymer blend, send us a small sample first and we will confirm whether our equipment can produce reliable data for it.
A standard lubrication audit on a single production line takes two to three days on-site, plus about a week for lab analysis and report preparation. Tensile testing batches are usually completed within five working days after samples arrive at our facility.
Yes. Based on your wear patterns and operating temperatures, we evaluate anti-friction coatings for heddles, drop wires, and reed blades. Our recommendations are based on measured coefficient of friction and wear resistance data, not generic product claims.
Access to the production floor, safety gear for our engineers, and a list of current lubricant products with their technical data sheets. If tensile testing is included, provide representative yarn samples with batch numbers and production dates.
