fabric wet adhesion performance tester
The Fabric Wet Adhesion Performance Tester is a precision instrument designed to evaluate the adhesion behavior of clothing fabrics to human skin after being wetted. By simulating liquid-soaked conditions, it quantifies how fabrics stick to the skin, providing critical data for comfort, wearability, and performance in apparel materials.
Application
The tester is widely used in:
(1) Apparel and Fashion Textiles – Assessing skin adhesion of shirts, blouses, activewear, and intimate clothing.
(2) Sportswear & Outdoor Clothing – Evaluating comfort and mobility when fabrics are exposed to sweat or rain.
(3) Medical & Protective Clothing – Testing adhesion for surgical gowns, protective suits, or moisture-managing fabrics.
(4) Functional Textiles – Assessing wetted adhesion in moisture-wicking, cooling, or hydrophilic fabrics.
(5) Textile R&D & Product Development – Optimizing fiber blends, surface coatings, and fabric finishes.
(6) Quality Control – Ensuring batch-to-batch consistency in skin adhesion performance.
(7) Third-Party Testing & Certification – Verifying compliance with domestic and international standards.
(8) Education & Training – Demonstrating textile wet adhesion principles to students and trainees.
(9) Forensic & Performance Analysis – Studying fabric behavior under liquid exposure for product complaints or research.

Test Procedures
(1) Secure the wet fabric sample on the fixture.
(2) Adjust the test speed and maximum displacement according to the material and standard.
(3) Start the servo motor to measure adhesion force while the fabric is in a wetted state.
(4) Record adhesion force and assign performance level based on four-level system.
(5) After testing, clean the sample holder and surrounding area to avoid residue.
(6) Periodically calibrate the force sensor and servo system to maintain accuracy.
