ADDIGUARD - Abrasion
Determination of resistance to abrasion and use. Crockmeter with water sandpaper number. 600 - Performs 5 cycles.

ADDIGUARD - Dry Soil Test
Dry Soil Test Measures the tendency of the substract to resist to dust during use. The fabric is dirtied with standardized dry soil, after which is cleaned with compressed air.

ADDIGUARD - Soil Release Testing Method
Soil Release Testing Method 1 - Put a drip of dirty motor oil in a testing piece of cloth. Further, load a weight of 0,5kg for a minute. 2 - Then, take away the weight and leave the testing piece for 24 hours. 3 - Then, wash the piece for 15 minutes and dry. Measure it by reflectometer. 4 - Degree of staining to be calculated by the following formula:

ADDIGUARD - Durability
Durability a) Home washing (AATCC # 135) b) Dry Cleaning (normally with com percloroethylene) Note: After washing the product must be ironed so that the product performs again 100% of its functions.

ADDIGUARD - Water Column (Hydrostatic Pressure)
Measures the "impermeability" of the material in millimeters (mm). It is the theoretical height of water that could be on top of the material before it goes through it. The value of a 1,000 mm water column is similar to a pressure of 1 bar.
