Overview
Precisely measures the angle of recovery for textile materials to define 'Easy Care' and 'Easy Iron' claims.
A crease is formed in a test specimen by applying a specified pressure in a separate Loading Device. The crease recovery angle (CR angle) indicates the ability of the fabric to recover to its original state.
Alternative weights for the loading device exist to meet the different requirements of both European (eg ISO 2313, EN 22313, M&S P22) and American (eg AATCC 66) test standards.
