Ways of Testing Fabrics?
There are many different tests that can be carried out on materials to find out their performance characteristics. * Fading * Absorbency * Tensile strength * Flammability * Insulation * Durability in relation to wear and tear or colour and more
What factors affect absorbency?

Does cotton catch fire?
Yes it does. All fabrics will burn, but some more readily than others. Cotton has a high burn rate, but this can be altered by using flame-retardant chemical additives.
