With extensive experience in the characterization of textile and geosynthetic materials, CTT Group<\/span> has developed a recognized competence in designing means to characterize customized materials.<\/p>\n
Some of these measurement techniques are proposed for standardization by organizations such as BNQ, ASTM and ISO.<\/p>\n
Here are some examples of our achievements:<\/p>\n
\n
Flammability: heat transfer measurement bench through materials exposed to radiant heat.<\/li>\n
Comfort and Protection:\n
\n
3D thermal foot for rating the thermal comfort of winter boots, in partnership with the Footwear Manufacturers Association of Canada;<\/li>\n
Thermal insulating capability for an arctic climate (measured at low temperature and with wind chill).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
Smart Textiles:\n
\n
Accelerated aging protocol for evaluating biometric electrode degradation (perspiration and washings);<\/li>\n
Measurement method for evaluating heated textiles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
Accelerated aging:\n
\n
Characterization of thermal insulation in compression (under stress) with thermographic camera;<\/li>\n
Dynamometric aging protocol of piezoresistive membrane;<\/li>\n
Thermal degradation evaluation bench for a textile heating element in a confined environment;<\/li>\n
Shelf-life of medical products, based on the ASTM F1980<\/span> accelerated aging guide.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
Physical property of geomembranes (evaluation of temperature increase generated by exposure to UV radiation).<\/li>\n
Dynamometry:\n
\n
Coefficient of friction measurement of artificial snow on roofing membranes;<\/li>\n
Behaviour of textiles at low and high temperatures;<\/li>\n
Impact resistance of a flexible geosynthetic placed under tension at low and high temperatures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
Chemistry: various techniques for measuring the presence of elements (ICP-OES)<\/span> or molecules (VOC, GC-MS, HPLC…) in natural or synthetic materials.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Our multidisciplinary and dynamic team understands the challenges faced by companies that conduct internal development.<\/p>\n<\/div>
