Furniture leather routine test

With the rapid development of the furniture leather industry, the national leather industry standard comprehensive consideration and leather industry in general, and comprehensive domestic and foreign leather industry standards to develop a unified furniture leather industry testing projects and requirements will help drive the gradual standardization of the entire leather industry.

 

Scope of application: applicable to a variety of furniture leather, such as, cowhide, etc.

 

 

A type of leather: <0.9mm

Second type leather: 0.9~1.5mm

Three types of leather: >1.5mm

 

1、Tearing force (bilateral tearing test)

 

Recommended model: computerized leather tensile testing machine

Test method: test speed 100mm/min, the standard shape of the rectangular specimen (with a hole in the middle) is placed in the upper and lower two fixtures of the tensile tester on the test hook, tensile tester operation to achieve the maximum force for the tearing force of the specimen.

Result determination: a type of leather: tearing force ≥ 20N; two types of leather: tearing force ≥ 30N; three types of leather: tearing force ≥ 40N

 

2、Elongation at break

 

Recommended models: computerized pull leather tensile testing machine

Test method: the specimen in the test speed of 100mm / min rate is stretched to a pre-defined force value or until the specimen is pulled off until the degree of force and extension.

Result determination: one type, two types, three types of leather elongation at break range of 35 ~ 60%

 

3、Rubbing color fastness

 

Recommended model: leather rubbing color fastness tester

Test method: glossy leather test head mass 1000g, suede test head mass 500g

Glossy leather: dry rubbing 500 times, wet rubbing 250 times, alkaline sweat: 80 times

Suede: dry rubbing 50 times, wet rubbing 20 times, alkaline sweat: 20 times

 

Result determination.

Glossy leather: Type I, Type II, Type III leather dry rubbing: ≥4

One type, two types, three types of leather wet rubbing: ≥3 grade

One type, two types, three types of leather sweat rubbing: ≥3 grade

 

Suede leather.

Dry rubbing: ≥4/3 grade

Wet rubbing: 3 grade

Alkaline sweat: 3 levels

 

4、Fastness to folding

 

Recommended model：Leather Flexibility Tester/Leather Folding Resistance Tester

Test method: test speed 100 times / min, test angle 22.5 °, glossy leather test 20000 times

Result judgment: No crack on the specimen.

 

5、Light resistance

 

Recommended model: Xenon lamp aging tester

Bright cycle: black standard thermometer temperature 89℃, chamber temperature 62℃, relative temperature 50%, time 3.8h.

dark cycle: temperature 38 ℃, relative temperature 95%, time 1h.

Control wavelength of 340nm when the light intensity of 0.55W/m2, the end point is based on radiation energy, the total radiation energy at the end of exposure is 451.2KJ/m2. gray discoloration card for grade assessment.

The results are determined: ≥ 4 grade

 

6、Abrasion resistance

 

Recommended model: TABER abrasion resistance tester, leather abrasion resistance tester

Test method: take three samples, glossy leather with CS10 imported grinding wheel, place 1000g weight, test 500 rpm

Judgment: all three specimens are qualified without obvious damage and peeling.

 

7、Adhesion fastness of coating

 

Recommended model: computerized tensile strength tester/leather coating adhesion fastness tester

Test method: test speed of (100 ± 5) mm / min, and can automatically record the force - distance graph, is the use of solvent-free adhesive, a part of the leather coating surface bonded to the adhesive plate, the free end of the strip of leather to apply force, so that the leather coating layer peel off the specified length, the coating layer by the adhesive adhesion on the adhesive plate, the size of the force applied as the coating layer to the leather adhesion fastness.
