Test Principle

Fix the printed sample on the worktable. Wrap the friction head with standard white friction paper / white cloth. Under the load of standard weights, the friction head performs reciprocating linear friction with a specified stroke. It supports two test modes: dry friction and wet friction.

After the test:

  1. Observe the staining grade on the friction paper;
  2. Check ink layer wear and substrate exposure on the surface of printed samples;
  3. A spectrodensitometer can be used to measure the reduction of ink density and color difference ΔE for quantitative evaluation of ink rub resistance and decolorization performance.

Applicable Samples

Printed paper, color boxes, cartons, labels, books & periodicals, laminated printed products Printed ink layers on plastic films, cardboard and kraft paper PS plate photosensitive coating, wear resistance test of various surface coatings Water-based ink, solvent-based ink, UV ink, flexographic / offset / gravure printed products
