Determination of the tendency of fabrics to pill, fuzz, or mat on the surface - Part 2: Modified Martindale - resistance to pilling

Determination of the tendency of fabrics to pill, fuzz, or mat on the surface - Part 2: Modified Martindale - resistance to pilling
The purpose of this test is to simulate the formation of pilling and fuzz on seats caused by friction from our clothing.

This test involves visually assessing the pilling and fuzzing of a textile. It involves freely rotating a circular fabric sample on a friction surface for a specified number of cycles.
