Eco & Analytical Testing

WRA’s Eco Laboratory has been one of the major facility centers created in the aftermath of the German ban on certain azo dyes, heavy metals, and other toxic components, closely followed by Government of India measures on similar lines with a view to providing necessary help to the Indian industry in the production of eco-friendly textiles.

Eco Laboratory is well equipped to take up complete testing of dyes, pigments and finished pextile products for all the tests as per international standards and has been providing the testing services to the textile industry for over a decade. Presently, Eco Laboratory has the facility to test formaldehyde, banned amines, heavy metals, pentachloro phenol, polychlorinated biphenyls, pesticides, moth proofing (bioassay and chemical assay), FTIR, UV analysis etc. Recently, Eco Laboratory added a particle size analyzer system to its existing infrastructure. This instrument is capable of testing particle size in wet and dry states and complies with international standard ISO 13320.
