Durability testing of digital printed fabrics is an important part of ensuring their quality and performance. Here are several common durability test methods:
Friction test
Friction test is a common method to evaluate the wear resistance of fabrics. In this test, the fabric is placed on a rotating platform and rubbed with an abrasive wheel. The wear resistance can be evaluated by observing whether the fabric is damaged or abnormal on the surface after a certain number of frictions.
Lightfastness test
The lightfastness test is to evaluate the resistance of fabrics to sunlight. In this test, the fabric is exposed to ultraviolet rays for a period of time and then observes the change in color. If there is no obvious change in color, then the fabric can be considered to have good lightfastness.
Weather resistance test
Weather resistance test is to evaluate the resistance of fabrics to climate change. In this test, the fabric is exposed to simulated climate conditions, such as high temperature, low temperature, humidity, etc., and then observes the change in its performance. If the fabric still maintains its performance under these conditions, then it can be considered to have good weather resistance.
Chemical resistance test
Chemical resistance test is to evaluate the resistance of fabrics to chemicals. In this test, the fabric is exposed to various chemicals, such as detergents, bleaches, etc., and then the changes in its performance are observed. If the fabric still maintains its performance after exposure to these chemicals, it can be considered to have good chemical resistance.
The above are some common methods for durability testing of digital printed fabrics. Through these tests, the quality and performance of digital printed fabrics can be ensured to meet various usage needs.
