Abrasion resistance of leather test details

The Abrasion Resistance Tester is an important instrument for measuring the performance and durability of leather products in use. During the test, the abrasion resistance of the specimen is determined by applying friction in the tangential direction to a rotating specimen by means of a friction component.

Fastness to Friction.

It is the degree to which the colour and coating of the leather surface changes or is transferred when the leather is rubbed. Fastness to friction test with standard white lining cloth or white wool sticky, under a certain pressure (test head mass 500g, 1000g ), in the leather surface for reciprocal friction (dry white lining cloth or white wool sticky for reciprocal friction for dry friction, with wet white lining cloth or white wool sticky for reciprocal friction for wet friction), and use standard grey sample card to assess the leather colour change and white lining cloth or white wool sticky The change in colour of the leather and the staining of the white lining or white wool.

Test methods for determining the abrasion resistance of leather:

There are two methods for determining the abrasion resistance of leather, namely the end point method and the change in appearance method.
