The abrasion resistance of waterproof fabrics refers to the ability of the fabric to withstand friction and abrasion without damage in a wet or rainy environment. Judge the abrasion resistance of waterproof fabrics can be through the following methods:
1. Appearance check: first of all, you can observe the appearance of the fabric through the naked eye to initially determine its abrasion resistance. If the surface has obvious signs of wear and tear, pilling, breakage or loss of color and other phenomena, indicating that the wear resistance of the fabric is poor.
2. Hand touch: you can feel to judge the wear resistance of waterproof fabrics. Feel soft, smooth fabrics are usually better abrasion resistance, and feel rough, friction sense of the fabric may be more prone to wear.
3. The use of abrasion testers: specialized abrasion testers can simulate the real use of the environment, through different test methods to assess the abrasion resistance of waterproof fabrics. For example, Martindale method, Taber method and other test methods can simulate different abrasion conditions, so as to judge the abrasion resistance of the fabric.
4. Moisture test: Waterproof fabrics are usually used in humid or rainy environments, so a moisture test can be conducted to evaluate their abrasion resistance. Soak the fabric in water or humidity cycle test, observe its wear under wet conditions, so as to determine its abrasion resistance.
5. Practical application test: the most intuitive method is to use the waterproof fabric for practical application scenarios, such as outdoor sports, raincoats, etc., to observe its abrasion resistance performance in the actual use of the process. If it can maintain a good waterproof effect and appearance for a long time, that its wear resistance is better.
In general, to determine the abrasion resistance of waterproof fabrics need to take into account the appearance, feel, experimental testing and practical applications and other factors. Only in these aspects have reached a certain standard, can show that the waterproof fabric has good abrasion resistance.
