Textile Testing: Performance Testing for Health-Focused Textiles
At Airmid Healthgroup, we work with global innovators in bedding, apparel, and home textiles to bring proven, health-enhancing fabrics to market. Whether you are developing antiviral face masks, antimicrobial uniforms, or allergy-friendly bedding, our ISO 17025-accredited laboratories and proprietary bioaerosol exposure chambers deliver robust, real-world textile testing.
Our multidisciplinary team of microbiologists, virologists, allergists, and environmental health scientists helps validate your product’s claims, from regulatory submissions to retail readiness.
Our Textile Testing Services
Antiviral Textile Testing
Verify claims with ISO 18184 and ISO 21702 methods using live and surrogate viruses, including human coronaviruses.
Ideal for face masks, curtains, uniforms, and upholstery.
Antimicrobial & Allergen Reduction Testing
Quantify performance using standards such as AATCC TM100 and ASTM E2149. Supports claims around bacterial resistance, mold prevention, and allergen barrier fabrics.
Hypoallergenic Validation
Ensure textiles reduce exposure to common allergens like dust mites, pet dander, and mold spores. Suitable for bedding, mattress covers, and health-focused consumer textiles.
VOC & Emissions Studies
Assess the impact of textiles on indoor air quality using ISO 16000 series testing. Identify off-gassing and emissions that may affect sensitive individuals or confined environments.
Custom Protocol Development
Collaborate with our scientists to design bespoke testing plans for novel products, wearable health tech, or regulatory pathways such as 510(k) FDA submissions.
Who We Work With
- Bedding and mattress manufacturers
- Medical textile innovators (e.g. dressings, uniforms)
- Apparel and workwear brands with health claims
- Upholstery and curtain manufacturers
- Developers of allergy-friendly and asthma-safe textiles
Scientific Excellence in Textile Testing
Our controlled environmental chambers simulate real-world conditions — including ventilation, humidity, and airborne pathogen presence — to rigorously test textile performance.
Combined with ISO 17025 accreditation and GLP capability, we ensure data integrity, repeatability, and market relevance.
