Rubber- or plastics-coated fabrics - Determination of resistance to combined shear flexing and rubbing (ISO 5981:2007)

ISO 5981:2007 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.

Mit Kautschuk oder Kunststoff beschichtete Textilien - Bestimmung des Widerstandes gegen kombiniertes Knautschen und Reiben (ISO 5981:2007)

Diese Internationale Norm legt zwei Verfahren zur Beurteilung des Widerstandes von mit Kautschuk oder Kunststoff beschichteten Textilien gegen kombiniertes Knautschen und Reiben fest. Die Beanspruchung durch Reiben wird entweder durch Verwendung eines Anpressfußes (Verfahren A) erzwungen oder durch einfache Berührung zwischen den Oberflächen der Probekörper hervorgerufen (Verfahren B).
Das Verfahren B (ohne Anpressfuß) ist in allen Fällen vorzuziehen, in denen der Anpressfuß den Probekörper durch Abrieb beschädigen würde und dies nicht gefordert ist, z. B. Materialien mit klebenden Oberflächen, dünnen Beschichtungen, wie z. B. Polyurethane, auf rauen Oberflächen.
Die Prüfung kann an Erzeugnissen im Lieferzustand oder nach einer Vorbehandlung der Erzeugnisse, wie z. B. Befeuchtung oder beschleunigte Alterung, durchgeführt werden.
ANMERKUNG   Die Ergebnisse, die sich aus den Verfahren A und B ergeben, können nicht miteinander verglichen werden, da es zwischen den beiden Verfahren keine Beziehung gibt.

Supports textiles revêtus de caoutchouc ou de plastique - Détermination de la résistance au froissement dû à l'application simultanée d'un couple et de frottement (ISO 5981:2007)

L'ISO 5981:2007 spécifie deux méthodes pour l'évaluation de la résistance au froissement dû à l'application simultanée d'un couple et d'un frottement des supports textiles revêtus de caoutchouc ou de plastique. Le frottement est soit forcé par application d'un patin presseur (méthode A), soit résulte du seul contact des faces des éprouvettes (méthode B).
Il est préférable d'utiliser la méthode B (sans application du patin presseur) dans tous les cas où le patin détériore l'éprouvette par effet abrasif, par exemple matériaux à surfaces collantes, enductions légères telles que les polyuréthannes sur supports grattés.
Les essais peuvent être appliqués à des articles à l'état de livraison ou après des prétraitements tels que mouillage ou essais de vieillissement accéléré.
NOTE          Les résultats obtenus par la méthode A et la méthode B ne peuvent pas être comparés du fait qu'il n'y a pas de correspondance entre les deux méthodes.

Overview

EN ISO 5981:2007 (ISO 5981:2007) specifies laboratory methods for assessing the resistance to combined shear flexing and rubbing of rubber- or plastics-coated fabrics. The standard defines two test procedures: Method A (rubbing forced by a pressure foot) and Method B (rubbing by simple face-to-face contact). Method B is preferred when a pressure foot would cause unwanted abrasion (for example, sticky surfaces or light polyurethane coatings). Tests can be performed on as‑delivered products or after pre‑treatments such as wetting or accelerated ageing. Note: results from Method A and Method B are not comparable.

Key topics and technical requirements

• Test principle: a specimen is subjected to repeated mild abrasive rubs while being flexed by a rubbing machine; damage is assessed visually.
• Apparatus: a rubbing machine with two parallel clamps providing counter‑reciprocating motion and an optional pressure foot. Key machine parameters (specified tolerances):
  • Distance between clamps: 12 mm ± 0.3 mm
  • Movement amplitude: 40 mm ± 1 mm
  • Frequency: 2.4 to 3.0 cycles/s
  • Optional foot load: 5 N ± 0.1 N (or 10 N ± 0.2 N by agreement)
• Clamps and foot: polished contact surfaces (Ra = 0.4 μm), rounded edges (radius ~1 mm) to avoid cutting, foot centered and free from clamp contact.
• Test pieces: six specimens per series (three longitudinal, three transverse); typical dimensions 100 mm × 50 mm (110 mm length allowed by agreement for low‑elasticity coatings).
• Pre‑conditioning and timing: minimum 16 hours between manufacture and testing; conditioning and atmosphere rules follow referenced standards.
• Results: damage is evaluated visually and reported; method-specific results cannot be intercompared.

Applications and users

• Who uses it: textile and coated‑fabric manufacturers, quality control laboratories, product development teams, procurement/specification engineers, and certification bodies.
• Practical uses:
  • Compare coating formulations or surface treatments for durability
  • Validate material performance for applications such as protective clothing, inflatable devices, tarpaulins, upholstery, and technical membranes
  • Support supplier quality agreements and acceptance testing
  • Guide R&D decisions on coatings (e.g., polyurethane vs thicker rubber coatings)

Related standards

• ISO 2231 - conditioning atmospheres for rubber/plastics-coated fabrics
• ISO 2286-1 - sampling from rolls (roll characteristics)
• ISO 4287 - surface texture (Ra) referenced for polishing

Keywords: EN ISO 5981:2007, ISO 5981:2007, rubber- or plastics-coated fabrics, shear flexing and rubbing, rubbing resistance, pressure foot method, coated textiles testing.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 5981 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 45, Rubber and rubber products, Subcommittee
SC 4, Products (other than hoses).
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 5981:1997), which has been technically
revised.
