Analysis of influencing factors of leather abrasion resistance1
When it comes to the use of leather products, now leather products are more and more popular with consumers. Then the wear resistance of leather is valued by manufacturers and consumers. So what is the main factor in the abrasion resistance of leather? How to improve the wear resistance of leather? The following editor will analyze it for you as follows. The abrasion resistance of leather refers to the resistance to abrasion of leather, which is expressed by the inverse of the abrasion rate or degree of abrasion under specified friction conditions. The main factors affecting the abrasion resistance of leather: There are many factors that affect the abrasion resistance of leather, such as: mechanical properties of fibers, shape and size of fibers, experimental conditions and leather craftsmanship and so on. The mechanical properties of fibers and the influence of shape and size include ① the effect of fiber mechanical properties. The relative importance of fiber tensile, bending and shear properties to leather wear resistance varies according to the difference in structure and use conditions; ② fiber morphology The effect of size. The important conditions that affect the leather wear test data are ① the influence of abrasives; ② the influence of tension and pressure; ③ the influence of temperature and humidity. There is also life in the actual use process. Due to the effects of sunlight, sweat, humidity, etc. on the leather, the wear resistance of leather of the same specification in different environments is different. According to research, PU leather is more wear-resistant than PVC artificial leather, and it is not so easy to become hard and brittle. Especially the birth of a new type of green leather, the wear resistance of zero-solvent PU synthetic leather has surpassed the satisfaction of consumers and manufacturers. Whether it is used in car seat modification or leather sofa, its wear resistance is even more prominent. After long-term use, it still maintains the original feel and color.

Cut resistance is one of the most critical performance indicators in personal protective equipment (PPE) testing, directly affecting worker safety in high-risk industries such as metal processing, machinery manufacturing, and emergency rescue. The TDM Cut Test Machine GT-KC28 plays a vital role in accurately evaluating the cut resistance of PPE products, including gloves, protective clothing, footwear materials, composite materials, rubber, and industrial textiles.
By adopting high-precision force control systems, intelligent data processing, and stable transmission technology, the GT-KC28 TDM Cut Tester can accurately measure the critical cutting force of materials and ensure excellent repeatability and comparability of test results. Its user-friendly touch-screen operation, comprehensive data storage, USB data export, and built-in thermal printer greatly improve laboratory efficiency and data traceability.
The TDM Cut Test Machine GT-KC28 fully complies with major international and national standards such as ISO 13997, EN 388, ASTM F2992/F2992M, ANSI/ISEA 105, and GB 24541-2022, making it a reliable solution for PPE manufacturers, third-party testing laboratories, and research institutions. Through precise and standardized cut resistance testing, the GT-KC28 helps reduce industrial cutting injuries, supports PPE certification across global markets, and ensures that protective equipment delivers reliable safety performance in real-world applications.
