Bonding How to Read It on a Lab Report
Laboratory reports present Bonding in a compact format. Knowing what each line means prevents misreading.
Definition reminder
joining two fabrics with adhesive film. Working figures for Bonding normally sit around film thickness 0.05-0.15 mm in mainstream production. Note ISO 15797 dimensional check plus peel test on the tech pack so nobody tests against an older revision.
Common report layout
The report states method ISO 15797 dimensional check plus peel test, sample description, conditioning, and the measured result. Record elastane content alongside Bonding, because blends shift the measured value. A result outside film thickness 0.05-0.15 mm usually points to process drift rather than to the fibre itself.
Typical result
Values near film thickness 0.05-0.15 mm usually indicate a conforming lot, assuming the fabric matches the sample submitted. Keeping reference values for Bonding lets suppliers quote without extra sampling rounds. Ask for conditioning details together with ISO 15797 dimensional check plus peel test, since both affect the reading.
Red flags
Missing revision numbers, unusual conditioning, and results without units all signal unreliable data. Working figures for Bonding normally sit around film thickness 0.05-0.15 mm in mainstream production. Note ISO 15797 dimensional check plus peel test on the tech pack so nobody tests against an older revision.
Questions to ask
Ask the laboratory for the standard revision and sample description before accepting or rejecting a result. Record elastane content alongside Bonding, because blends shift the measured value. A result outside film thickness 0.05-0.15 mm usually points to process drift rather than to the fibre itself.
