Rubbing fastness refers to the color fading level of colored fabrics after rubbing. Fastness Rubbing Tester is for quick and exact determination of the resistance to rubbing of wet and dry fibers. The excellent properties of the apparatus are based among others upon the fact that the frictional pressure, the way of rubbing, and the contact surface are fixed exactly

Standards

DIN 54021 Testing of colour fastness of textiles; determination of colour fastness of dyeing and prints to rubbing

SNV-standard No. 95831

Application

Fastness rubbing tester is widely used in various industries for determination of rubbing fastness of textiles under dry and wet condition, such as artificial silk, yarn, knitted fabrics, knitted shell fabric, etc. It can be also used for determination of rubbing fastness of printing ink and oil on paper and paper board under dry and wet condition. Fastness rubbing tester is helpful in quality control and enhancement of textile’s service life and utility rate.
