Rubbing Color Fastness Tester
Application
The Rubbing Color Fastness Tester is a widely used instrument in the textile industry to evaluate the color fastness of fabrics under dry and wet rubbing conditions. It is applicable for testing:
Textiles and knitwear
Leather products
Electroplated surfaces
Printed materials
The instrument simulates real-life abrasion to determine the degree of color transfer from the sample to a standard white cloth, providing critical data for quality control, R&D, and compliance testing.
