Electric Rubbing Colour Fastness Tester

The G238CC Electronic Rubbing Colour Fastness Tester evaluates the color fastness of textiles, leather, and coated materials under dry and wet rubbing conditions. The sample is repeatedly rubbed against a white cotton cloth under controlled pressure and stroke. The degree of staining on the cotton cloth is compared to a gray scale to determine the decolorization grade, providing a basis for improving dyeing and coating quality.

The tester features a digital electronic preset counter for accurate cycle control, high repeatability, and reliable data for quality control and R&D.
