Tested Beyond Tournament Standards

Every Lumina grip compound undergoes rigorous physical testing: tensile strength, dynamic friction, moisture wicking, and cyclic durability.

Tensile Strength

312 N/mm²

ASTM D412 — polymer weave vs. standard PU controls.

Moisture Wicking

0.4 ml/s

Capillary channel flow under simulated match humidity.

Dynamic Friction

0.87 COF

ISO 13287 dynamic slip testing on treated rackets.

Cyclic Durability

50,000+ cycles

Zero measurable surface loss at 1kg Taber load.

Thermal Stability

-20 to 80 °C

No tack loss in cold courts; no softening in desert heat.

Abrasion Resistance

< 0.02 mm³ loss

Minimal volume loss under accelerated wear protocol.
