REDUCED FIBRE SHEDDING

How ShedGuard® addresses fibre shedding

Comparing a treated fabric with a control sample allows fibre loss to be assessed under equivalent use and washing conditions.

FROM MATRIX TO TRIAL

How to select ShedGuard for your application

Polygiene presents ShedGuard as a textile finish under development to reduce fibre shedding and improve wear resistance. Confirm availability and evaluation conditions before planning its incorporation.

Sports garments

Sports garments

Assess shedding in the selected fabric.

What to define: Fibre, yarn, structure and wash cycles.

Uniforms and home

Uniforms and home

Assess durability and wear resistance.

What to define: Abrasion, appearance and care of the item.

Evaluation example

Before treating a fabric, retain a control sample from the same batch and define wash and abrasion cycles. This allows fibre loss to be compared under equivalent conditions.

Illustrative selection scenario; not a customer case or a guarantee of results.

Before moving to production

Measure the result in the finished item. Do not apply percentages from a manufacturer’s test to every fabric or describe reduced fibre loss as zero shedding.

Technology basis: official ShedGuard information ↗. The evaluation criteria are Deltachem guidance to help define the project.

SELECTION CRITERIA

The fabric determines the result

The result depends on textile construction and processing; test data should not be extrapolated universally.

Documentation and product claims

The availability of technical and safety data sheets, test results and product claims depends on the grade, application and market. Deltachem coordinates this information with the manufacturer.
