Taber Abrasion Tester

Application Scope

The Taber Abrasion Tester is designed to evaluate the surface wear resistance of various planar materials, including:

Coatings, tiles, metal plating, paints, varnishes

Decorative films, high-pressure laminates, plastics

Textiles, resilient floor mats, traffic paints, anodized layers

Carpets, electronic components, decorative panels, waxes

Leather cases, dental materials, automotive interior trims

Resins, furniture, and other industrial materials

It is widely used in:

Product quality control

New product R&D and performance validation

Testing agencies and laboratories

Material performance verification

Quality supervision departments

This instrument helps assess abrasion resistance, thickness loss, mass loss, light transmission changes, and other durability characteristics under controlled test conditions.

Technical Specifications

Features & Advantages

Provides high repeatability and consistent test results.

Pre-conditioned abrasion wheels ensure standardized testing.

Evaluates abrasion resistance via weight loss, thickness loss, and optical changes.

Supports multiple material types, allowing production quality control, R&D validation, and third-party testing.

Automatic operation reduces operator error and improves efficiency.
