The EN ISO 12945 standard, developed by the International Standards Organization (ISO), describes a method for determining the resistance of textile fabrics to pilling and surface change.
Feathers are formed when fibers fray a fabric surface and become entangled during wear. Such surface degradation is generally undesirable, but the degree of consumer tolerance for a given level of pilling will depend on the type of garment and the end use of the fabric.
Generally, the level of pilling that develops is determined by the rates of the following parallel processes:
Samples are mounted in polyurethane tubes and randomly rolled at a constant rotational speed in a cork-lined box. Pilling and pilling are visually assessed after a certain rolling period. Any special treatment of the laboratory sample, ie washing, cleaning, should be agreed upon and specified in the test report.
Pill test box, cubic, internal dimensions, pre-liner, 235 mm. All inner surfaces of the box will be covered with 3,2 mm thick cork joint material. The box should be rotated at (60 ± 2) rpm about a horizontal axis through the center of the two opposite faces. One side of the box will be removable for access.
Among the services provided by our organization within the framework of material testing services, there are also EN ISO 12945 standard tests.
