Textile manufacturer SETEX develops and produces for more than 25 years, mainly in Germany. When quality, right down to the smallest detail, is combined with sophisticated innovations, premium, interesting products are always the result. SETEX products meet tomorrow's requirements today.

Laboratory

Laboratory tests for quality assurance and development of new processes. Computer-aided testing procedures are essential when it comes to developing innovative new customer solutions. We constantly strive for perfection in our own laboratory and in collaboration with a variety of third party institutions. A clear sign of a company that bases its philosophy on quality.

Our laboratory tests/testing devices for quality assurance and development of new processes following the respective testing standard:

  • Burning cabinet: flame tests, DIN 54336 (firing time, glow time, charring zone)
  • Zwick tearing device: tensile strength (tear resistance, stretching of textiles)
  • Hot-air oven: determines the shrinkage rate of warp and weft
  • determines the resistance to penetration by water (tent fabric/coated goods)
  • Uster tearing device (for yarns): determines force and stretch
  • Yarn reel: determines the yarn count
  • Zweigle evenness tester (yarns): Quantitative determination of twists, thin and thick areas incl. fabric simulation
  • Sanforising/shrinkage values: Determines the shrinkage values in the warp and woof by means of a sanforising line (shrinkage default)
  • Crockmeter: determines the colour fastness/friction resistance of coloured textiles
  • Zweigle twist testing device: determines the number of twists in yarns/twines
  • Opaqueness: Testing using special light sources
  • Ironing press: adhesion tests incl. production inspections
  • Thickness measuring device: determines the thickness/volumes of textiles
  • Microscope: various fabric and fibre examinations
  • Spectrophometer: colorimetric colour analysis
