1. Product Function and Application
The 6 Station Pilling Tester is designed to evaluate textile pilling, fabric pilling, woven material pilling, and leather abrasion resistance.
Test specimens are rubbed against known abradants—such as nylon brushes, sponges, or Velcro—for a set number of cycles to determine the material’s tendency to form pills or surface fuzz. The results can be compared against industry standards or customized in-house criteria.
The tester is compatible with Standard Test Kits, which can be configured with different abradants, test materials, and test weights for flexibility in testing protocols.
