Overview
EN 12132-1:1998 is a European standard developed by CEN focused on testing the down proof properties of fabrics, specifically through a rubbing test method. This standard outlines a procedure to determine how well a fabric resists penetration by down and feather particles when subjected to simulated rubbing stress. The test is essential for assessing the performance of primary tick fabrics used in products filled with feather and down materials, ensuring durability and product quality.
Key Topics
Down Proof Properties
This standard addresses the fabric’s ability to prevent down and feather fibers from passing through, which is critical in maintaining insulation and comfort in textile products.Rubbing Test Method
The core of EN 12132-1:1998 is the rubbing test procedure. Using a specialized apparatus, the fabric specimen is subjected to mechanical rubbing that simulates normal wear and use conditions. This tests the fabric’s resistance to down penetration under stress.Application Scope
The method applies primarily to the primary tick fabric layer in feather or down-filled products, such as pillows, duvets, and bedding textiles. It provides a reliable evaluation of material performance against down leakage.
Applications
Textile Manufacturing
Manufacturers use EN 12132-1:1998 to ensure their fabric choices meet industry standards for down containment, enhancing product reliability and customer satisfaction.Quality Control
The rubbing test is an important quality control tool for producers and suppliers of down and feather-filled goods, helping identify materials that effectively minimize feather penetration.Product Development
During research and development of feather and down products, applying this standard helps refine fabric selection and construction to improve down proofness.Consumer Goods
This standard contributes to better durability and longevity of consumer textile products like pillows, duvets, and jackets, ensuring the filling remains secured and the product performs well over time.
