Martindale Abrasion Tester QualiMAT™ II
Martindale Abrasion Tester, QualiMAT™ II is designed to evaluate the abrasion resistance of textile fabrics, shoe uppers, linings, and soles. It enables simultaneous testing of up to 8 specimens, enhancing efficiency. During testing, the specimens are abraded against specific materials in a Lissajous motion for a set number of cycles, providing precise and reliable durability assessments in compliance with industry standards.
Principle
The Martindale tester is specifically designed to assess the durability and abrasion resistance of textile fabrics, shoe uppers, linings, and soles. During testing, specimens undergo repeated abrasion in a Lissajous pattern until the specified number of cycles is completed.
- Broad Material Applicability: Ideal for testing materials commonly used in the textile and footwear industries, including textile fabrics, shoe uppers, linings, and soles.
- Multiple Test Stations: The QualiMAT™ II features multiple test stations, allowing up to 8 specimens to be tested simultaneously, improving work efficiency.
- Various Rubbing Directions: The QualiMAT™ II rubs specimens in a Lissajous pattern, simulating the effects of abrasion in multiple directions.
- Wearing Simulation: Simulates daily wear, ensuring that materials perform well and have a long service life in real-world scenarios.
- Adjustable Rubbing Cycles: Allows operators to customize the number of cycles, ensuring that the test conditions meet referenced standards.
- Abrasion Resistance Assessment: Enables operators to assess material performance by observing the degree of wear on specimens subjected to abrasion testing.
- Standard Conformity: Ensures products meet industry standards and satisfy market quality expectations.
