Testing & Quality

Review PEX colour fastness, fabric performance, care advantages and correct finishing conditions.

Material performance

Colour confidence beyond indoor requirements.

PEX uses high-colour-fastness masterbatch. Rated 7–8 according to ISO 105 B02, the collection comfortably exceeds typical indoor-use requirements.

ISO 105 B02

7–8

Grade 7–8 colour fastness

Colour formulation supports long-term visual consistency across project collections.

Very low moisture uptake

The olefin structure absorbs very little moisture, supporting practical fabric care and use.

Molecular stain resistance

Stain resistance is inherent in the molecular structure rather than a surface-only effect.

Fabric testing

Fabrics made with PEX achieve successful pilling and Martindale test results.

FRole option

Flame-retardant PEX articles can be produced under the Turktex FRole brand.

Correct use

Technical notes for weaving and finishing.

PEX is suitable for weft and warp use. Needle punching can make the final fabric even softer to the touch. Because of its olefin structure, the Wyzenbeek method is recommended for abrasion evaluation.

130°C

recommended maximum finishing temperature

As olefin melts above 150°C, finishing should not exceed 130°C; higher temperatures may make the fabric stiff.
