Iozzelli.com "studio and test-lab" is equipped with the most important and sophisticated means to carry out any technological test or calculation, physical, mechanical, chemical or dyeing, regarding textiles from fibres to the finished article as well as on the chemical agents used in the textile industry.
The laboratory also carries out all the calculations of parameters characteristic of eco-toxicology and the analysis of faulty goods, and issues a technical report with comments and opinions.
Customers can furthermore take advantage of consultation aimed at the improvement of the product and the processing.

The technological textile laboratory is capable of offering a service of the characterization of textile products in conformity with national and international standards.

It is possible to test all kinds of materials : silk, cotton, wool, artificial and synthetic fibres.
Fibres, threads and yarns.
Orthogonal textiles.
Knitwear.
Non-woven textiles.
Finished garments.

The lab to test reaction to fire is capable of satisfying all the problems in textiles regarding reaction to fire.

The tests are carried out in conformity with national and international norms and guarantee the coverage of diverse usage:
Clothing
Furnishing
Public furnishing
Civil and military specifications

The chemical lab is equipped with modern instruments for analysis to satisfy the numerous requests for the chemical and eco-toxicological characterisation of textile products.
Particular attention is paid to ecological checks, among which, the research and determination of carcinogenic substances or heavy metals.
Besides these, there are also requests to monitor the parameters of the quality of the water flowing from industrial areas as well as the quality of auxiliary chemical products.

Among the instruments and analysis techniques most utilised:
Spectrophotometer for atomic absorption
Gas chromatography in mass selection
Spectrophotometer UV-Visible
Infrared spectrometer FTIR
Infrared analysis ATR with microscope

One of the most frequent tests is the determination of the composition of fibres in conformity with nationally and internationally enforced laws.

The dyeing lab offers firms a valid support in testing the fastness of colours and their dimensional stability, with particular reference to performance requisites and what the textiles will eventually be used for.
Furthermore, labelling and handling instructions are determined and tested, ensuring respect for national and international legislation. It can be noted in particular, that the Tessile di Como lab is equipped with washing machines to check textiles for:
Washing with perchloride-ethylene
Washing with hydrocarbon
Wet washing
Professional wet washing

Among the various textile products, the following can undergo tests:
Threads, yarns
Woven or knitted materials
Textiles with resins or spreads
Textiles for technical usage

It is also possible to carry out dyeing tests on small samples on request. The lab is equipped with various dyeing systems (atmospheric pressure, high pressure, infrared heating) as well as a spectrophotometer to measure colours.
