A material library for better briefs
Compare fabrics, fillings, natural components and molded accessories by the decisions they change in your product specification.
Textiles: define more than the surface
Composition, weight, weave or knit, coating and finish affect hand feel, care and performance. Request a material reference that can be repeated, then review the material on the complete product.
| Material family | Typical development use | What to define |
|---|---|---|
| Woven polyester | Beds, travel mats and shells | Weight, weave, coating and finish |
| Fleece and jersey | Apparel and soft liners | Composition, stretch, pilling and shrinkage |
| Corduroy and textured fabric | Beds and hideaways | Pile, seam behavior and care |
| Foam and fiberfill | Cushions and soft steps | Grade, dimensions, weight and recovery |
Natural and molded components
For natural components, document species or fiber identity, treatment and finish. For silicone and polymer parts, identify the exact composition and contact surfaces. A general material name does not establish a destination-market claim.
Use evidence with the correct scope
A report for one material, color or component should not be presented as certification for an entire product range. Ask for the report scope, date, sample identity and the changes that would require review again.
