Answer

Testing of Textile fibres – Tinius Olsen make a range of machines and grips that may be suitable for testing your fibres. If you would like to send a sample of the fibres and any other products you wish to test to me at our office in Redhill including details of any specific methods you may need to test against, I will happy to make some preliminary tests for you. Then I will arrange for one of the Team at SDL Atlas in the UK to contact you with our recommendations for the most suitable combination of machine and grips and their local agent.
