Keeping
a step ahead in changing times
In recent years, entirely new manufacturing technologies and
materials have emerged one after the other as technological
innovations are made in a range of fields. Support is required
for quality inspection and evaluation of these new products.
For example, textile products are increasingly given new functions
like sweat absorbency and quick drying characteristics, absorption
and desorption of moisture, and anti-pollen finish in pursuit
of greater comfort and amenity. We conduct prompt research and
development of appropriate, highly objective testing equipment
and evaluation methods for these products. |
