Measuring the shear strengths of soil/soil interfaces, soil/geosynthetics interfaces, and geosynthetics/geosynthetics interfaces is essential expertise for geotechnical experts. In the case of soils, determining the failure curve of a soil, identifying the friction angle and soil cohesion allows for [...]
It’s summertime! How to measure textile materials for their UV protection factor ? Resistance to ultraviolet (UV) penetration is measured in a very objective manner. The principle is conceptually quite simple: a light source generating UV radiation (UVA; UVB) [...]
Evaluation of the Objective Properties of the Cool or Warm Touch of Textiles The measurement of thermal effusivity allows quantifying a subjective notion, a sensation felt upon touch. This enables scientific validation and quantification of comfort through a comparative [...]
Materials engineering needs precise evaluation and thermal analysis services is part of them. The following technics: Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA), Thermomechanical Analysis (TMA), and Dilatometry are used for polymers testing as well as composite materials. Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) DMA is [...]
Sustainable Innovation: Textile insulators composed of 85% recycled fibers. In partnership with the NRC National Research Council of Canada, CTT Group has reached a new milestone in the development of environmentally friendly textiles. We have been able to card a blend [...]
Testing physical performance properties of synthetic, natural or recycled fibers at CTT. Looking for new fiber supplier, want to characterize the potential of by-products from textile recycling, evaluate the performance of local natural fiber such as wool, hemp, flax; evaluate [...]
Le Groupe CTT est ravi de vous convier à célébrer le 25e anniversaire de notre tournoi de golf, qui se déroulera cette année sous le thème inspirant de "Simplement VERT". Nous sommes particulièrement fiers d'annoncer que cet événement marquera notre tout [...]
