What is Abrasion Testing?
Abrasion testing measures the resistance of a fabric to wear and tear caused by friction, rubbing, or scratching. This type of testing simulates real-world conditions, such as those encountered in outdoor activities or sports, to determine the durability and performance of your textiles.
There are several types of Abrasion tests, including
Martindale Abrasion Resistance (ISO 12947)
Taber Abraser (ASTM D3884)
Stoll Tearing Test (ISO 13934-1)
Each test has its specific requirements and applications, but they all share the common goal of evaluating a fabrics ability to withstand wear and tear.
