Martindale

The Martindale is a renowned, versatile abrasion tester trusted across industries to measure fabric wear and pilling under varying conditions. For testing the resilience of textiles and other materials against wet friction, the AquAbrasion delivers controlled and repeatable results, simulating real-world exposure to moisture. The DurAbrasion extends these capabilities further, providing robust testing solutions for heavy-duty materials subjected to extreme abrasion. Together, these instruments ensure comprehensive and reliable performance testing, supporting innovation and quality control in material development.
