Circular Locus Pilling Tester
The Circular Locus Pilling Tester evaluates the pilling performance of textiles, including wool, chemical fiber, cotton, blended fabrics, knitted and woven materials. The instrument simulates abrasion by rubbing the fabric against nylon brushes or abrasive surfaces under controlled conditions to assess product quality and process performance.
Applications
Testing pilling and fuzzing resistance of knitted, woven, and blended fabrics
Evaluating material quality and manufacturing effects
Performance assessment for wool, chemical fiber, cotton, and military textiles
