JIS Appearance Retention Tester
The Appearance Retention Tester is designed to evaluate the formation of fuzz or pills on textile and knitted fabrics caused by friction. The instrument simulates wear conditions by applying controlled pressure and friction to the sample, providing an objective assessment of fabric appearance retention performance. It is suitable for assessing the anti-pilling and surface appearance properties of a variety of textiles.
Application
(1) Evaluation of fuzzing and pilling resistance of textile and knitted fabrics.
(2) Simulation of friction-induced wear during fabric use.
(3) Assessment of fabric treatments or finishes aimed at improving surface appearance.
(4) Quality control in textile manufacturing and finishing processes.
Standards
(1) JIS L 1076 — Textile fabrics and knitted fabrics: Surface pilling test (Method C)
(2) ASTM D3511 — Pilling resistance of textile fabrics
(3) ASTM D3512 — Martindale abrasion and pilling test

FAQ
(1) What is this product?
It is a laboratory tester designed to evaluate the appearance retention of fabrics under friction, simulating pilling and fuzzing.
(2) What is it used for?
To assess anti-pilling performance and overall surface appearance stability of textile and knitted fabrics.
(3) Why is it important?
It helps manufacturers ensure fabric durability, maintain quality, and verify the effectiveness of finishes or treatments.
(4) What problems does it solve for users?
Predicts fabric wear under real-life conditions and provides standardized results for quality control.
(5) What types of fabrics can be tested?
Woven, knitted, blended fabrics, and fabrics treated for anti-pilling.
(6) How is the test performed?
The sample is mounted on the holder, the friction plate rotates with specified pressure, and after a defined number of cycles, pilling or fuzz formation is evaluated against standard reference images.
