Veslic Colorfastness Abrasion Tester
1. Function and Application
The Veslic Colorfastness Abrasion Tester is designed to evaluate colorfastness under rubbing (crocking) conditions for leather, finished textiles, and other coated or treated materials.
It simulates real-world wear scenarios, such as foot rubbing, cross-legged seating, or material abrasion, using felt, rubber, abrasive papers, or fabric pads.
The system allows testing dry or wet, using distilled water or synthetic perspiration, and evaluates color change or marring against standard gray scales in controlled lighting conditions.
2. Applicable Test Standards
BS 1006 UK-LG – Colorfastness to Rubbing
DIN 53-339 – Textiles: Determination of Colorfastness to Rubbing
EN ISO 11640 – Leather: Colorfastness to Rubbing
IUF 450 / SLF 450 / Veslic C4500 / C4505 / C4580 – Industry-specific rubfastness testing protocols
Custom OEM or laboratory standards – Configurable per user requirements
