Precise Rub Resistance Tester

The Precise Rub Resistance Tester (BGD 632) is a specialized instrument designed and manufactured according to ASTM D 5264 and TAPPI T 830 standards for evaluating the abrasion resistance of printed materials like labels, folding cartons, corrugated boxes, inserts, circulars, and packaging graphics on flat substrates. This Precise Rub Resistance Tester helps analyze issues such as low abrasion resistance, ink layer falling-off, printability of PS boards, and coating rigidity. It is ideal for manufacturers in printing and packaging industries ensuring product durability.

Characteristics

• Suitable for dry or wet rubbing, scuffing, wet bleed, transfer, wet smear, and functional tests.
• Arc movement model with double testing stations for higher efficiency.
• Multiple speed options for flexible and convenient operation.
• Microcomputer control with film front control panel.
• LCD screen displays real-time testing data.
• Automatic memory function during power loss and buzzer alert when the test finishes.
• Improves production control and reduces product returns caused by poor quality.
• The specimen’s coating and receptor rub against each other at a set speed and pressure load. The test determines abrasion by measuring the reduction in coating concentration or thickness.

Why Choose the Precise Rub Resistance Tester?

The Precise Rub Resistance Tester is crucial for printing and packaging industries ensuring graphic durability. Since abrasion resistance prevents ink fading and coating failure, this tester simulates wear per ASTM D 5264 and TAPPI T 830, analyzing decrement in thickness or concentration. For example, it tests labels and cartons with 1-2 specimens at speeds up to 106 cpm, identifying production issues early. Its micro-computer control and LCD display enhance usability, while the 40 kg design offers portability. Consequently, manufacturers can reduce returns and optimize quality.
