Fibre analysis
The need to be able to identify fibres is increasing as textile recycling advances. RISE can offer a selection of different fibre analysis methods for both new and recycled synthetic and natural fibre types.
This service is also relevant in: Circular transition, Metrology, Chemical and biological analysis

Purpose
Being able to identify fibres can be crucial for subsequent processes. RISE provides both quantitative and qualitative methods for textile fibre identification.
Fibre analysis
RISE offers:
- Chemical Analysis: We use specific solvents to dissolve certain fibres, allowing for precise determination of the remaining fibre types.
- Microscopic Analysis: Through microscopy, we identify and quantify the fibre content in textile samples. Dyeing before microscopy can be used to distinguish certain types of cellulose.
Delivery
Normal delivery time is 10-15 working days.
