Moisture Wicking Test Procedure for Yarn and Thread
Why is a wicking test necessary? Through the process of conducting a wicking test, manufacturers of wire and cable can be assured that the yarn or fiber used will provide water-resistant characteristics that allow the exterior coating and seams to bond more strongly and resist mold and other fungal growth - ultimately making your product structure stronger and more durable.
The yarn wicking test method is simple, and includes the following:
- Test Scope
- Detailed Test Requirements
