The Taber® Abraser is an industry standard used in the wear and durability testing of ceramics, plastics, textiles, metals, leather, rubber and painted, lacquered and electroplated surfaces.

Accelerated wear test procedures using the Taber® Abraser have been written into many test specifications including ASTM, ISO, TAPPI and DIN - as well as automotive manufacturing procedures around the world.

The Taber® Rotary Abraser is available with either a single test head or dual testing heads, which allow the user to test two different or identical materials simultaneously, for comparison and contrast - doubling the productivity of the operator. A linear abraser is also available - the Taber® 5700 for testing small and curved items.

Choose from a wide variety of abrading wheels and abraser accessories to simulate real-life wear conditions - see Accessories for our complete range.
