Core Wear - Resistance Performance Requirements for Silicone
| Testing Dimension |
Key Requirements |
Reference Basis/Testing Method |
| Anti - slip Effect after Wear |
After a specified number of rubs, there is no obvious falling off or breaking of the anti - slip lines/particles on the silicone surface, and the decrease of the static friction coefficient with the simulated saddle fabric is ≤ 20% (to ensure that it can still play an anti - slip role). |
Self - made simulation test (fitting the commonly used leather/nylon fabrics for saddles, applying an average pressure of about 50 - 80N during riding) |
| Upper Limit of Mass Loss |
Tested according to GB/T 9867 Determination of Wear Resistance of Vulcanized Rubber or Thermoplastic Rubber (Rotating Drum Abrasion Tester Method). Under the conditions of 10N pressure and 500 revolutions, the mass loss of silicone is ≤ 5mg (to avoid excessive wear - out leading to thinning). |
GB/T 9867 (Basic standard for rubber wear resistance, with industry - adapted parameter adjustments) |
| Appearance Integrity |
After the wear - resistance test (such as 2000 times of reciprocating friction, with cotton cloth or leather as the friction medium), there is no large - area cracking, delamination, or adhesion of the friction medium on the silicone. There is no obvious edge curling at the edges. |
General appearance inspection standards for clothing accessories industry |
| Wear Resistance after Washing |
After 5 cycles of household washing (30℃ water temperature, neutral detergent, 5 times of washing + drying cycles), there is no significant decline in the wear - resistance performance of the silicone (the increase in mass loss is ≤ 3mg), and the anti - slip effect still meets the standard. |
Refer to the washing conditions in GB/T 3921 Textiles - Tests for Colour Fastness - Colour Fastness to Soap Washing, and superimpose the wear - resistance test |
