Textile testing

Elastocon offers equipment for quality control of textiles from UK based manufacturer Roaches International. Some examples of equipment from Roaches include the Martindale, the Sentire fabric handle tester, and Crocktec, a crockmeter used to determine colour fastness to rubbing (crocking).

Martindale AXYZ – dynamic abrasion and pilling tester

Martindale AXYZ redefines textile abrasion and pilling tests, by offering the highest test capacity available, with new digital precision Lissajous, and individual retracting abrading tables. Maximise your output, and run your tests for longer, with less interruptions.

Sentire – fabric handle tester

The Sentire fabric handle tester is developed to create a common language to communicate the experience of fabric handle. Understanding the complexities of how materials feel is crucial in various industries, from textiles and apparel to home furnishings and automotive.

Crocktec – colour fastness testing through rubbing (crocking)

The Crocktec is a crockmeter which is used to determine colour fastness to rubbing (crocking). A crocking test shows the resistance of the colour of a textile and other materials to rubbing off and staining.

Durawash – for high volume repeat washing tests

Durawash is the perfect choice if you have a high volume of repeating washing colour fastness tests or specific garment or fabric print durability tests, pleat retention, waddings and quilted waddings.
