Model: M0008

The Martindale Abrasion machine was developed primarily to assess the abrasion resistance of woven worsted wool fabrics.

It was designed to give a controlled amount of multi-directional abrasion, between the fabric surface and a crossbred wool abradant fabric, at comparatively low pressure until thread breakdown, or unacceptable change in colour or appearance occurs. It is not applicable to fabrics having a long pile or surface coating.
