Hongtu Instruments' Expert Li Jianhua Attends 2025 2nd Advanced Materials and Technology Conference in Sports Goods Field
Pioneering Insights into Material Innovation: Hongtu Instruments Leads Quality Control Dialogue at Industry Gala
In June 2025, the highly anticipated 2nd Advanced Materials and Technology Conference in Sports Goods Field was grandly held in Xiamen. With the theme of "Technology Improves Quality, Materials and Intelligence Go Hand in Hand", the conference gathered over 300 representatives from leading enterprises, research institutions, universities and upstream and downstream industrial chains in the national sports goods industry to jointly map out the new path of technological, intelligent and green development of the industry. Li Jianhua, a senior technical expert from Dongguan Hongtuo Instruments Co., Ltd. (Hongtu Instruments), was invited to attend the conference and delivered an in-depth speech on the application of testing instruments in the quality control of advanced sports materials, which aroused enthusiastic responses from the participants.
Conference Focus: Advanced Materials Reshape the Competitive Pattern of Sports Goods Industry
As the core driving force for the transformation and upgrading of the sports goods industry, advanced materials such as carbon fiber have become the focus of this conference. The latest statistics show that in the field of sports equipment manufacturing, the proportion of products using new lightweight materials has exceeded 65%, and the market penetration rate of carbon fiber products has increased by 300% compared with five years ago. This material, which has both high strength and low density, is redefining the R&D boundary of competitive equipment and promoting the sports industry to upgrade towards a technology-intensive direction.
The conference set up a special forum on "Advanced Materials and Technology Innovation Application", focusing on in-depth discussions on the innovative design and industrialization path of high-performance composite materials such as carbon fiber in sports equipment. Experts and enterprise representatives present agreed that the deep application of advanced materials is not only conducive to improving the performance of sports equipment (such as reducing weight, improving impact resistance and fatigue resistance) but also promotes the extension of the application of sports products from the professional field to the mass market. However, the quality control and performance testing of advanced materials have become key links restricting their industrialization development.
Expert Li Jianhua's Speech: Testing Instruments Are the Cornerstone of Quality Assurance of Advanced Sports Materials
In his speech titled "Application of High-Precision Testing Instruments in Quality Control of Carbon Fiber Sports Materials", Li Jianhua pointed out that the excellent performance of advanced materials such as carbon fiber can only be fully exerted if it is supported by strict quality control throughout the whole process. From raw material inspection to finished product performance testing, scientific and accurate testing data is an important guarantee for improving product quality and reducing production costs.
Li Jianhua combined with the development status of the sports goods industry, focusing on the pain points and difficulties in the quality testing of advanced materials. He said: "With the continuous expansion of the application scope of carbon fiber and other composite materials in sports equipment, the requirements for testing technology are getting higher and higher. Traditional testing methods can no longer meet the needs of high-precision and high-efficiency quality control. It is urgent to rely on more professional testing instruments and technical means to realize the refined management of material quality."
Hongtu Instruments' Core Products: Empowering Quality Control of Sports Materials
In order to better explain the important role of testing instruments in the quality control of sports materials, Li Jianhua focused on introducing Hongtu Instruments' core products represented by the HT-4802 Series Martindale Abrasion Tester, and detailed their application scenarios and product advantages in the sports goods industry.
HT-4802 Series Martindale Abrasion Tester: Key Equipment for Testing Wear Resistance and Pilling Resistance of Sports Fabrics
Sports fabrics (such as ski suits, sportswear, and racket handles) made of advanced composite materials need to have excellent wear resistance and pilling resistance to adapt to long-term and high-intensity use scenarios. The HT-4802 Series Martindale Abrasion Tester independently developed by Hongtu Instruments is specially designed for testing the wear resistance and pilling degree of fabrics, and its core uses include:
-
Testing the pilling degree of sports fabrics: The instrument makes the circular sample and the same material fabric rub according to the Lissajous figure movement track under a certain pressure. After reaching the specified number of revolutions, the pilling grade of the sample is evaluated, which ensures that the sports fabric maintains a good appearance during long-term use.
-
Testing the wear resistance of sports fabrics: Under a certain pressure, the circular fabric sample and the standard abrasive rub against each other according to the Lissajous curve movement track until the sample is damaged. The wear resistance of the sample is expressed by the number of wear times when the sample is damaged. This index is crucial for sports equipment that needs to withstand frequent friction (such as ski boots, fitness equipment cushions, etc.).
Li Jianhua emphasized that the HT-4802 Series Martindale Abrasion Tester has the advantages of beautiful appearance, simple operation, and high test efficiency. It adopts a microcomputer system with two counting methods, which is intuitive and easy to set. It can carry out tests at 4, 6, or 8 stations at the same time, greatly improving the test efficiency. In addition, the instrument is equipped with two Lissajous movement tracks (24mm×24mm, 60.5mm×60.5mm) and a variety of supporting accessories, which can adapt to a variety of test method standards such as GB/T4802.2, ASTM D4970, and ISO12945-2, and can meet the quality testing needs of different types of sports material manufacturers.
Other Core Products: Comprehensive Coverage of Sports Material Testing Needs
In addition to the Martindale Abrasion Tester, Hongtu Instruments also has a series of testing instruments suitable for the sports goods industry, which can comprehensively cover the testing needs of various sports materials such as strength, elasticity, and fatigue resistance. These products provide a full range of quality control solutions for sports equipment manufacturers, helping enterprises improve product quality, reduce production risks, and enhance market competitiveness.
Outlook for the Future: Hongtu Instruments Promotes the High-Quality Development of the Sports Goods Industry
After the conference, Li Jianhua said that the exchange at this conference made him deeply aware of the huge demand for high-precision testing technology in the development of the sports goods industry. In the future, Hongtu Instruments will take this conference as an opportunity to further increase investment in R&D, closely follow the development trend of advanced sports materials, and continuously launch more professional and efficient testing instruments and solutions.
At the same time, Hongtu Instruments will also strengthen cooperation with upstream and downstream enterprises, research institutions, and universities in the industry, actively participate in the construction of the standard system of the sports goods industry, and contribute its own strength to promoting the high-quality development of the sports goods industry. With the continuous innovation of testing technology and the deep integration of the sports goods industry, it is believed that more high-quality, high-performance sports products will enter the market and inject new vitality into the development of the sports industry.
