Abrasion Resistance Testing for Coated Fabrics
topic
Coated fabric abrasion resistance is measured by Martindale tester per ISO 12947 applying circular rubbing motion against a standard abrading fabric or felt at defined pressure, by Taber abrader with calibrated wheels, or by Wyzenbeek reciprocating flat abrasion test, with wear resistance expressed as cycles to defined failure criteria including coating delamination, surface breach, or appearance change corresponding to the service requirement for each application.
Role
Verifies that coated fabric surfaces withstand the mechanical abrasion encountered in end-use application through standardised wear resistance testing that predicts service life and guides coating formulation development for applications including upholstery, automotive, and footwear where surface durability under repeated contact and rubbing determines product service life and consumer satisfaction.
