It’s critical to evaluate wear and abrasion properties during the product development stage because many rubber or plastic materials repeatedly come into contact with different surfaces in their service environment. Abrasion testing can be performed to assess and forecast the material’s overall durability as it would function in practical applications.

Rotary Abrasion Drum (DIN Abrasion)

This test method calculates the volume loss brought on by the abrasive action by rubbing a test item over a sheet of a given grade of abrasive material. An abrasion resistance index or a relative volume loss might be used to express the outcome.

The Taber Abrasion

This test procedure assesses a material’s resistance to abrasive wear when subjected to the pressure of abrasive wheels. A variety of abrasive wheels, speeds, and test loadings are available from us.

NBS Abrasion

Using a downward force, this test method evaluates the rubber’s resistance. This technique is most frequently used to assess footwear components’ abrasion resistance, including rubber heels and soles.

NextGen’s Akron Abrasion Tester is 60 X 45 X 40cm and weights 60kgs.
