Advanced textile testing solutions in the Netherlands—from everyday quality control to the innovative new Martindale Motion. Reliable textile testing is essential for manufacturers, laboratories, and R&D organisations that need to demonstrate quality, durability, performance, and compliance.
From protective clothing and PPE to technical textiles, nonwovens, geotextiles, automotive materials, flooring, workwear, and recycled textiles, materials are becoming increasingly sophisticated—and so are the demands placed on testing laboratories.
Being the James Heal distributor for the Netherlands, Artec helps customers select the right testing solution for their application, test method, and international standard.
James Heal offers advanced laboratory equipment for evaluating important textile properties, including:
These capabilities make James Heal equipment highly relevant for textile manufacturers, technical textile producers, PPE and workwear companies, nonwoven manufacturers, independent testing laboratories, and research institutes.
Whether you are expanding a laboratory, replacing existing equipment, or looking to improve testing efficiency, Artec can help determine the most suitable James Heal solution.
The Martindale is one of the best-known instruments in textile testing. But James Heal has taken this established test principle to a new level.
This innovative system introduces independently lifting test heads, enabling laboratories to perform up to three different tests simultaneously. Each head can automatically lift once its programmed test cycle has been completed.
The result?
Greater flexibility. Higher laboratory throughput. Less operator intervention. Smarter use of your testing equipment.
Martindale Motion combines the trusted principles of Martindale abrasion and pilling testing with the automation and flexibility expected from today’s modern textile laboratory.
Martindale heritage. Reimagined for the modern laboratory.
Being the official James Heal distributor for the Netherlands, Artec is ready to support you with technical advice, test methods, instrument selection, and demonstrations.
