• Martindale abrasion testing machine is designed to determine the abrasion resistance of all types of fabrics and leather used for footwear, upholstery, clothing, gloves, and many other products.
• The Martindale is the internationally-accepted test standard for wear of fabrics and it is also used for determining the susceptibility of fabrics to pilling.
• This machine can also be used for testing the abrasion resistance of rubber gloves, plastic, and rubber-coated fabrics by substituting the standard abradant with grit paper.
• The machine can be used for soiling tests for light-coloured materials. A specially inked fabric replaces the standard abradant for this test.
• An initial amount of the standard abrasive fabric is supplied with the machine.
