What’s the Martindale test?

The Martindale method is designed for multiple abrasion and pilling tests, which is applicable for various textile structures, including non-woven fabric, socks, gloves, carpets, leather, collars, cuffs, wood, high pressure laminates, painted surfaces, etc.

And through the experiment to test the resistance to abrasion and pilling properties of fabric, and which is the important index of textile product quality, which directly affect the durability of the product and use effect. Resistance to abrasion and pilling refer to fabric or with other substances in the process of rubbing. And wear and pilling testing machine is used for fabric, namely for the martindale abrasion and pilling tester.

How many working positions for Martindale test simultaneously?

4, 6, 8, 9 working positions and 2 counting Methods of count up & count down are available at UTS Martindale testers.

What is the principle of Martidale tester?

The test principle is Circular fabric sample under certain pressure, wear with standard abrasive according to Lissajous track curve to cause the sample damaged, take the abrasion times when fabric is broken as its resistance to abrasion property.

Lissajous Curve
