ABREX®-TRES
3-Station finger abrasion & hand abrasion tester for massive QA and faster R&D

Highlight

Due to the high demand on ABREX® testing, a high output multi-station ABREX® tester is designed to serve this purpose.

For example, ABREX®-TRES, which 3 samples can be tested at the same time with the same friction path and load, either with the same textiles/liquid or different textiles/liquid depending on your needs.

The number of stations can be supplied upon request, 3-station, 4- or even 5-station ABREX® for better statistics.

Description

ABREX®-ABRASION, is a soft-chemo-mechanical fingertip & hand abrasion. The simulated wear pattern matches reality with 99% accuracy. It is a highly complex abrasion process which involves:

 • A 45° angle impact driven by a dynamic pneumatic cylinder attached with a viscoelastic fingertip under a defined load;

 • Then a friction rubbing or tumbling motion between the sample and a textile containing dirt, dandruff, oil, sweat or various types of testing liquids;

 • Followed by a retraction movement with or without the contact at the surface depending on the application.

ABREX® can be upgraded to ABREX®-A & ABREX®-D & ABREX®-E respectively.
* ABREX®-A can run both standard abrasion test and special “swiping mode” with test condition of friction
path of 20mm @ 5N @ 2Hz. Other frequency, friction path and load can also be achieved upon request.
Application

If you have a huge amount of tests with the same test condition, this multi-station ABREX® tester is ideal to save your time. 3 test samples are evaluated at the same time for faster statistics. If you are exploring new designs of materials and coatings, this multi-station ABREX® tester is also great to serve this purpose.
