Field Failure Analysis

Our mission for the past 28 years has been to take the mystery out of textile performance. For too long, designers and purchasers have been misled about the textile specification process. Through expert analysis and testing, our staff can help you figure out what went wrong.

There can be many reasons for material failure in the field including improper material specification, improper application, improper cleaning, and care or even an unexpected chemical reaction. In the end, Applied Lab is here as a resource to investigate field failures and provide feedback and information on why fabric fails in the field and what improvements can be made to avoid such failure in the future.
