Common properties of fabric
Air permeability Water permeability Shrinkage Abrasion resistance Crease resistance Color fastness to light Wash fastness Color fastness elasticity
1. Air permeability Measure of how well it allows the passage of air through it.
2. Water permeability Measure of how well it allows the passage of water through it.
3 . Shrinkage Is reduction in size of textiles after washing , soaking or treatment with moist heat.
4. Abrasion resistance the ability to withstand wear from repeated rubbing
5. Crease resistance Ability of a material to resist or recover from creasing.
6. Color fastness to light test Is to determine how much the color will fade when exposed to an unknown light source.
7. Wash fastness Is the resistance of a material to change in any of its color.
