Abrasion resistance

Abrasion resistance

SuperFabric® is a very abrasion-resistant technology, rating Level 4 on the EN388 test.  The EN388 abrasion test is performed using a Taber tester with a 1000g load and H18 wheel. This modified ASTM D3884 test (HDM3884) is another very aggressive test. SuperFabric® brand materials, however, prove highly abrasion resistant even when compared to aramids and other high-tech fabrics.

Why does this matter?  

  • performance levels for cut, puncture, needle are not lost through wear life
  • abrasion can reduce the wear life of PPE, so the higher the abrasion resistance, the better the product will last in the field
  • workplace abrasions can weaken materials, increasing the risk of laceration or other injury
