Description

The ICI Pilling and Snagging Tester is a high-precision testing instrument used to determine the pilling and snagging resistance of woven, knitted, and other textile fabrics. This tester replicates normal wear conditions to assess how well fabrics maintain their surface appearance and texture over time.

The device features rotating test boxes lined with cork or polyurethane and fitted with test samples. As the boxes rotate at a controlled speed, the fabrics rub against each other or abrasive surfaces, simulating real-life usage. The resulting degree of pilling or snagging is then evaluated visually or by image analysis.

Engineered for accuracy, consistency, and ease of operation, the ICI Pilling and Snagging Tester is widely used in textile testing laboratories, quality control departments, and research centers. It complies with international standards such as ISO, ASTM, and BS, ensuring reliable and globally accepted test results.

Key Features:

• Determines both pilling and snagging resistance

• Multiple test chambers for simultaneous testing

• Smooth, quiet operation with digital speed control

• Sturdy and compact design for long-term durability

• Conforms to ISO, ASTM, and BS testing standards

Applications:
Perfect for textile manufacturers, apparel brands, and testing laboratories to evaluate the surface quality, durability, and wear performance of fabrics used in garments, upholstery, and home textiles.
