In the Fiat-Lancia 7-M8603 standard, published jointly by Fiat automobile company and its subsidiary Lancia automobile company, a test method is defined for determining the abrasion resistance of textile mats and driver panel coverings made of robust composite insulation material used in the interiors of automobiles.
In general terms, abrasion resistance is the ability of a textile to withstand surface wear due to smooth frictional contact with other materials, and the durability of textile floor mats and driver panel linings used in vehicles is greatly affected by their abrasion resistance properties.
Wear occurs when fibers rub against each other or other materials. It is a type of mechanical deterioration in textile materials and is a very common occurrence. Generally, wear manifests in three ways:
Abrasion resistance is the ability of a textile to withstand surface wear due to smooth frictional contact with other materials. Fiber content and properties, yarn structure, fabric structure and weight, and various chemical and mechanical processes applied during processing are the main factors affecting wear resistance.
Car seats are the most important part of interior decoration, and polyester is the most widely used material for car seat cover. Woven, weft knit and warp knit fabrics are the most commonly used fabric structures. Wear resistance tests are carried out to measure the service life of the car seat upholstery in normal use. Many test methods, national and international standards and automobile manufacturer specifications have been developed to define the wear resistance of various materials.
Automobile textiles have to meet very stringent requirements, both in terms of safety and competitiveness.
Among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it has given for businesses in various sectors, our organization, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, is a testament to the wear and tear of textile mats and driver panel coverings made of robust composite insulation material within the scope of Fiat-Lancia 7-M8603 standard. It also provides testing services to determine its resistance.
