The Martindale abrasion test is a widely used standard method in the textile industry to evaluate the abrasion resistance of fabrics. It simulates real-world friction conditions to assess how well a fabric can withstand wear. During testing, a fabric sample undergoes multi-directional rubbing against a standard abrasive material (typically woven wool) in a motion… The post ASTM D4966 Abrasion Resistance: American Standard, Martindale Method appeared first on Testex.| Testex
In the apparel industry, polymer materials are the backbone of fabric functionality and diversity. Eight types of synthetic fibers—polyester, nylon, acrylic, viscose, spandex, polypropylene, vinylon, and aramid—dominate everyday wear, sportswear, industrial protection, and other sectors due to their unique chemical structures and performance characteristics. 1.

1. Concept of Flame Retardancy Ratings Flame retardancy rating testing evaluates a material’s ability to resist flame propagation. Common standards include UL94, IEC 60695-11-10, and GB/T 5169.16. UL94, “Test for Flammability of Plastic Materials for Parts in Devices and Appliances,” classifies flame retardancy into 12 levels: HB, V-2, V-1, V-0 5VA, 5VB VTM-0, VTM-1, VTM-2 HBF, HF1, HF2 These ratings are determined based on test severity and material type.… The post Summ...| Testex
