Abrasion resistance of textiles – Martindale method
The Martindale method is used to test the abrasion resistance of textiles. All uncoated textile fabrics can be tested.
During the test, pieces of the sample material are rubbed against a standard wool, wire mesh, or sandpaper. The sample is inspected for wear and tear at regular cycle intervals. The number of cycles the fabric can withstand represents its Martindale rating, providing information about the durability of the fabric against constant friction with other materials.
The displayed starting price includes the determination of fabric breakdown according to EN ISO 12947-2. We also offer the following Martindale tests:
Determination of mass loss according to EN ISO 12947-3
Assessment of appearance change according to EN ISO 12947-4
