Goalkeeper Gloves Latex Foam Testing - ASTM Standards
Project Description
MULTIPLE TESTING
MULTIPLE SAMPLES
Independent Material testing laboratory needed for testing ~1,000 latex foam samples in performance goalkeeper gloves. We envision the tests would be:
- rolling ball tack test (ASTM D3121)
- probe tack test (ASTM D2979), and
- friction test (ASTM D1894).
We want our tests to explore the foam-ball interface and its properties.
Currently there are no standard tests for performance; we're looking to develop these and use them to probe the dependence of performance of around 30 different latex foams on weather, specialized coatings, washing and drying technique, turf type, and usage.
Goalkeeper gloves use a layer of polyurethane for padding with a 2-4mm layer of latex foam on top to provide the grip in interaction with the football.
