DIN EN ISO 5981:2008 Rubber- or plastics-coated fabrics - Determination of resistance to combined shear flexing and rubbing (ISO 5981:2007); English version of DIN EN ISO 5981:2008-01
This International Standard specifies two methods of evaluating the resistance to combined shear flexing and
rubbing of rubber- or plastics-coated fabrics. Rubbing is either forced by application of a pressure foot
(method A), or is caused by simple contact between the faces of the test pieces (method B).
Method B (without application of the pressure foot) is preferred in all cases where the foot would damage the
test piece through an abrasive effect where this is not required, e.g. materials with sticky surfaces, light
coatings such as polyurethanes on rough surfaces.
The test may be carried out on products as delivered or after pre-treatments such as wetting or accelerated
ageing.
NOTE The results obtained using method A and method B cannot be compared as there is no correlation between
the two methods.
