Application
The Garment & Printed Fabric Durability Tester is designed to assess the durability of garments and fabric components, including print durability, pleat retention, waddings, quilted waddings, cockling (differential shrinkage), flock retention, crinkle, seersucker, and collars and cuffs. By immersing test samples in heated detergent and running the machine for a set time, this instrument meets the requirements of leading retail standards for garment and fabric durability tests.
Testing Method
Test Principle
A detergent solution is prepared by mixing detergent with water, which is poured into the bucket of the tester. The specimen is placed in the solution only after it reaches the specified temperature. Once the test begins, the sample is immersed for the designated time to determine its durability.
