Schap Brush-Type Pilling and Fuzzing Tester
The Schap Brush-Type Pilling and Fuzzing Tester is a six-station testing instrument designed to evaluate the abrasion resistance and pilling performance of fabrics and leather. Samples are subjected to controlled friction cycles using standardized abrasives such as nylon brushes, sponges, or hook-and-loop materials. Pilling and surface wear are assessed against industry standards or laboratory-developed reference standards, providing reliable documentation of fabric performance.
Application
(1) Woven fabrics: cotton, polyester, wool, blended fabrics, printed and dyed textiles.
(2) Knitted fabrics: jerseys, interlocks, rib knits, fleece, and sportswear fabrics.
(3) Leather and synthetic leather: automotive interiors, upholstery, footwear, bags, and jackets.
(4) Specialized textiles: automotive seat covers, protective clothing, home textiles (curtains, bedding, blankets), and carpets.
(5) Anti-pilling and surface treatment evaluation: fabrics treated with anti-pilling finishes, softeners, or coatings.
(6) Comparative quality control: finished garments, fabric rolls, and leather panels for industrial and consumer applications.
