Fabric Wrinkle Bending Tester


The Fabric Wrinkle Bending Tester is a specialized instrument used to assess the wrinkle recovery properties of various textile fabrics. It simulates the conditions that fabrics encounter during actual use, such as pressure and temperature, to evaluate their ability to form and recover from wrinkles

Applications

This tester is widely used in:

Textile Production: Identifying and resolving wrinkle issues in seams, cutting, and sewing processes

Clothing Design: Helping designers understand fabric behavior under different conditions to create more consumer-friendly products

Quality Control: Providing critical data for textile enterprises to ensure product quality and compliance with standards

Standards

The testing methods and results should comply with relevant national or international standards, such as AATCC 128.ISO 9867.ENKA 3061. GB/T 3819.  ISO 2313.
