Microfiber release test
Sportswear brand Under Armour, in collaboration with textile testing company Hohenstein and measuring device provider PPT Group, has introduced a standardised method to measure microfibre release from textiles during simulated washing conditions.
The newly published test, titled DIN SPEC 19292, aims to assist apparel and textile companies in assessing the microfibre release of various materials throughout the product development process.
This initiative provides a reliable framework for measuring and evaluating microfibre emissions, promoting greater transparency and sustainability across the textile value chain.
