We offer Quality Testing of Leather & It's Products
At our testing laboratory, we provide a comprehensive range of leather testing services to ensure that leather products meet all safety and quality standards. We understand the importance of leather quality and safety, and our testing services help manufacturers and retailers ensure that their products meet the highest standards.
Our leather testing services cover a wide range of parameters, including physical, chemical, and performance tests. We use state-of-the-art testing equipment and methods to accurately measure and analyze the quality and safety of leather products.
Some of the physical tests we conduct include testing for tensile strength, tear resistance, flexing endurance, and colorfastness. We also conduct chemical tests to ensure that leather products are free from harmful substances such as chromium VI, formaldehyde, and heavy metals.
We also test for performance parameters such as abrasion resistance, water resistance, and breathability to ensure that leather products perform as expected and meet the demands of their intended use.
Our team of experienced technicians works closely with clients to develop testing protocols that meet their specific needs and requirements. We pride ourselves on providing fast and accurate results, and we are committed to delivering the highest level of customer service.
With our comprehensive leather testing services, we help ensure that leather products are safe and of the highest quality, providing peace of mind for both manufacturers and consumers.
Tensile strength testing: Measures the leather’s resistance to breaking or tearing under tension.
Tear resistance testing: Determines the force required to tear a leather sample.
Flexing endurance testing: Measures the leather’s ability to withstand repeated bending and flexing.
Abrasion resistance testing: Determines the leather’s resistance to wear and tear caused by rubbing or friction.
Water resistance testing: Measures how well the leather repels water and resists water absorption.
Colorfastness testing: Determines the leather’s resistance to fading or discoloration caused by exposure to light or other factors.
pH testing: Determines the acidity or alkalinity of the leather.
Formaldehyde testing: Determines the presence of formaldehyde, a harmful substance that can cause skin irritation.
Chromium VI testing: Determines the presence of hexavalent chromium, a harmful substance that can cause skin allergies and cancer.
Heavy metal testing: Determines the presence of heavy metals such as lead and cadmium, which can be harmful to human health.
Heat resistance testing: Determines the leather’s ability to resist heat, which is important for products that may be exposed to high temperatures.
Lightfastness testing: Measures the leather’s resistance to fading or discoloration caused by exposure to light.
Stitch tear strength testing: Determines the strength of the stitching on leather products.
Seam strength testing: Measures the strength of the seams in leather products.
Chemical resistance testing: Determines the leather’s resistance to chemicals such as oils, acids, and solvents.
Flammability testing: Determines how easily the leather ignites and how quickly the flame spreads.
Odor testing: Determines the presence of any unpleasant odors in the leather, which can be caused by chemicals or other factors.
Dimensional stability testing: Determines the leather’s ability to maintain its shape and size after exposure to moisture or heat.
These tests help ensure that leather products are safe and of the highest quality, meeting the demands of their intended use. At our testing laboratory, we utilize these tests and more to help manufacturers and retailers ensure the safety and quality of their leather products.
