Fabric Pilling: Test Methods and Finishing Solutions to Improve Anti-Pilling Performance
Fabric pilling is a common issue in textiles, characterized by the formation of small, tangled fiber balls—known as "pills"—on the fabric surface. This phenomenon occurs when fabrics are subjected to repeated mechanical actions such as friction, abrasion, or laundering. These forces cause loose fibers to rise to the surface, where they entangle and compress into visible pills.
