Control laboratory

TRP Charvet's testing laboratory plays an essential role in guaranteeing the quality of all textiles. Each sample is rigorously tested for strength, resistance and durability.

Using state-of-the-art equipment, our laboratory technicians evaluate the performance of fibers and their behavior during treatments and washes, thus ensuring top-of-the-range production. Our control tools include:

  • An oven for calculating fabric shrinkage.
  • A dynamometer for measuring the mechanical strength of textiles.
  • The Spray test, which measures water resistance.
  • A vulcanizing press, essential for checking the adhesion of our customers' rubber to our activated fabrics.
  • A light booth for precise color control.
  • A Testrite, to measure thread retraction.
  • Equipment for measuring fabric properties such as weight, texture and width.
  • An hydrophilic test to assess liquid absorption.
  • A torsiometer, used to check wire twist.
  • A precision scale for precise, reliable measurements.

This laboratory is equipped with a conditioned atmosphere to guarantee the precision of our tests. A team of three full-time staff work here, entirely dedicated to the perfection of our textiles. At TRP Charvet, every test is a promise of quality and excellence.
