Circular Track Pilling and Fuzzing Tester
The Circular Track Pilling and Fuzzing Tester is designed to evaluate the pilling, fuzzing, and surface wear of woven, knitted, and blended fabrics, as well as pure cotton and synthetic textiles. Samples are subjected to controlled friction cycles using nylon brushes and abrasives, either in standard or conditioned humidity states. The instrument provides accurate and reproducible assessment of fabric quality, finishing performance, and process effects.
Application
(1) Woven fabrics: cotton, polyester, wool, blended fabrics, printed and dyed textiles.
(2) Knitted fabrics: jersey, rib knit, interlock, fleece, sportswear materials.
(3) Blended fabrics: cotton-polyester, wool blends, and other mixed-fiber textiles.
(4) Specialty fabrics: fabrics with anti-pilling or softening treatments, upholstery textiles, and automotive interior fabrics.
(5) Quality control: raw fabric rolls, finished garments, and textile panels for manufacturing process evaluation.
(6) Research and development: evaluation of new fibers, finishes, or treatments for pilling resistance.
