The US Taber Abrasion Resistance Tester (ASTM D3884 Abrasion Resistance of Textile Fabrics ) is used to interpret the wear resistance of metals, coatings, plate surfaces, coating materials, textiles, leather, and rubber, etc. The first step, Calibrating wheels. A: Rubber-base Wheels Calibration (eg. CS-10, CS-10F, CS-17) (1) A new set of rubber-base wheels must be refaced twice for 50 cycles; (2) If the used wheel is less than 1000 cycles before use, refaced 25 cycles or 50 cycles (recommended refaced 25 cycles); if it is greater than or equal to 1000 cycles, pre-refaced 50 cycles. (3) For every 1000 cycles of the wheel during the test, 25 or 50 rotations must be refaced. B: Vitrified-based wheels Calibration ( eg. H-10, H-18, H-22, H-38) Not need to refacing unless the surface of the wheel is are marred or chipped; every 300 cycles, clean particles using an air hose durinf the test. Sampling: 150mm*150mm, 5 pieces (actual sampling 100cm²), for samples with width less than 125mm, the entire width for samples is used. The second part of the United States Taber Abrasion Tester, the specific operation: 1.Set the appropriate grinding wheel and load as required. Grind the fabric to a specific end point and record the final number of revolutions; the end point may include Pass/Fail criteria, such as: loss in breaking strength, yarn breakage, coating/gloss/gloss loss, appearance of pilling and other changes; if the customer Have their own requirements, according to customer requirements as the end. 2.Recording the number of sample rotations and take the average of 5 samples. End point judgment: Woven fabrics: break a single line Non-woven: Frayed at least 0.5mm in diameter Knitted fabric: 1 yarn broken, forming a hole Fleece: Flue finish references: 2007 and previous versions: Grinding wheel: CS-10 Load:> 240g/m2, 500g/rev ≤ 240g/m2, 250g/rev 2009 Edition According to use table ASTM D3884: Test of Friction Wheels and Heavy Hammer Loads, 2009 Edition Type of fabric Grinding wheel Load (g) Textile fabrics ≥100g/m2<240g/m2(medium) CS-10 500 Textile Fabrics <100g/m2 (Lightweight) CS-10 250 Fleece CS-10 500 Coated fabric H-18 1000 Automotive Fabric CS-10 1000 Decorative fabric H-18 500 Textile Fabrics (Other) H-18 1000 Non-woven fabric H-10 (Temporarily absent) 250 Automotive Leather CS-10 1000 Dyed Leather CS-10 500 Other durable leather H-18 1000 Car carpet CS-10 1000 Carpet (wide) H-18 500 US Taber Abrasion Tester Principle: An "X" type of friction is created by the rotation of a pair of friction wheels.

Color fastness is a type of color fastness, also known as color fastness or color fastness to bleed, which refers to the migration of dye or residual floating color on the fabric, mainly reflecting the fabric after washing or being exposed to rain. The degree of contamination that causes dyes to elute at dyeing sites and shift to white or light-colored base fabrics comes from Japan. It is also called the "big pill method" in the Japanese test method. Color weeping fastness has now become one of the common testing items for Japanese singles. Generally speaking, it is required to reach level 4 or above 4-5, which is mainly manifested in medium and dark colors. It is often associated with color fastness. Good color fastness and good weeping fastness will also be good. The improved color fastness of cotton fabrics can be improved and strengthened from the following major aspects: 1.choose the right dye Because the dyes are often accompanied by a small amount of incomplete dyes in the synthesis, the presence of these dyes will not only affect the color fastness but also affect the other color fastness. Therefore, the color fastness test should be done before use. At the same time, attention should be paid to the use of reactive dyes in which the water-soluble groups in the dye structure are not too high and the directness is intermediate. 2.Pay attention to the impact of water quality The calcium and magnesium ions in the water will form insoluble matter with the dye and adsorb on the surface of the fiber, becoming floating color and hindering the diffusion and penetration of the dye, reducing the color fastness and even affecting the shade and vividness. Therefore, soft water or chelating dispersant must be added. Wait. 3.to strengthen the washing and soaping process The residual alkali salts on the fibers, hydrolysis, and the floating color of the unbound dyes are the key factors affecting the fastness, and high-performance anti-soap soaping agents with excellent properties should be selected, and soaps should be soaped under neutral or weak acid as much as possible. Higher temperatures are used to wash off unbound dyestuffs inside the fabric, but it is also important to note that too high a temperature can cause breakage of bonded dyes, especially under alkaline conditions. 4.using solid color processing The use of excellent cations and reactive fixatives can block the water-soluble groups of the dyes, making the dyes insoluble in the lake and depositing in the fibers, reducing the water solubility of the dyes, while a small amount of hydrolyzed dyes can also participate in the fixation. Cross-linking further increases the binding force with the fiber, thereby effectively improving the wet processing of the dye, the fastness of the color cry, etc., and if necessary, individual deep color shades can also be subjected to a re-fixation process. Of course, in addition to paying attention to the above points, whether the quality of the grey cloth itself...

The colour fastness of textile is meaning the fading degree of dyed or printed fabric that undergo the effect of external factors (including extrusion, friction, washing, rain shower, exposure, light, seawater impregnation, saliva impregnation, water stains, sweat stains, etc.)during the using or process,it is a important index of textile.The product has good colour fastness and it not easy to lose color during processing or using;otherwise it will appear some states like drop or stain and cause a lot of trouble. The most conventional problem of colour fastness of textile as below: 1、Sun fastness is not up to standard: The clothing during the dressing ,the color of the part of clothing that more exposed to sunlight begins shallow or discolored (usually is the back and shoulders), where there is no or less exposure, the color is constant or light. People will not use the product that the color is different in depth. 2、Colour fastness to washing, soaping and dry cleaning is not up to standard:Clothing fading after washing.The silk,wool,cotton clothing is easy to have such problems mostly.   3、Color fastness to friction is not up to standard:Textile during using,there is different fading degree in different part that has different degrees.And the part most easy to fading is jacket, sleeve, elbow, collar, and armpit,also the buttocks and knees of the trousers.      The product has poor color fastness that brings the bad shopping experience for consumer and the bad influence for brand public praise.Due to reduce this negative effect for minimum level,we should launch a strict test about color fastness when the product is finished.
