This abrasion tester from ABREX is so far the only testing instrument that can simulate a complex abrasion with different standard textiles/fabric under different chemical environments. This is achieved by using the soft-chemo-mechanical fingertip and hard abrasion which involves:
- A dynamic impact at a 45° angle by a viscoelastic fingertip at a certain load and the effects of different liquid
- A rubbing motion by friction or tumbling motion between the sample and a textile/fabric containing oil, sweat, dirt or different types of creams, etc.
