EN 1876-2 Rubber or Plastic Coated Fabrics - Low Temperature Tests - Impact Test on Loop

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 1876-2 testing. This European Standard specifies a method for the determination of low temperature properties of coated fabrics. This method is considered suitable for materials that can easily bend to the configuration required by test damage to the specimen as determined by a test performed at room temperature.

The cold cracking temperature is not a strictly defined temperature. This temperature depends on the stressed state of the fabric as well as the rate of any impact on the loop. This method allows determining the temperature limit of brittleness.

The method to be used should be chosen by the persons concerned to ensure that it is as close as possible to the conditions likely to be in use. The results of these two methods are not equivalent and therefore should not be compared.

The purpose of this test is to evaluate the performance and durability of rubber or plastic coated fabrics when subjected to impact forces at low temperatures. Such considerations are required for materials to be used in applications where they may be exposed to low temperatures and impacts, such as certain outdoor equipment, protective clothing, or industrial applications.
