4-station Leather Rubbing Color Fastness Tester

Applicable Standards

The tester adheres to global colorfastness and material testing protocols, including:

  • ISO 11640(Leather – Color fastness to rubbing)
  • SATRA TM170(Standard method for color fastness to rubbing)
  • AATCC 8(Colorfastness to Crocking: AATCC Crockmeter Method)
  • ISO 105-X12(Textiles – Color fastness to rubbing)
  • GB/T 3920(China’s national standard for color fastness to rubbing)

These standards ensure consistent evaluation of color transfer, dye adhesion, and surface durability.

Main Parameters

ParameterSpecification
Number of Stations 4 (simultaneous testing of 4 samples)
Friction Head Load 9 N (standard; adjustable 5–15 N for custom tests)
Stroke Length 100 mm (adjustable)
Friction Speed 60 ± 2 cycles/min (1 cycle = 1 double stroke)
Sample Dimensions 140 × 50 mm (standard leather/textile swatches)
Abrading Fabric Standardized cotton cloth (e.g., Crockmeter cloth per ISO 105-F10)
Power Supply 220V/50Hz, 60W
Dimensions 500 × 350 × 300 mm (L × W × H)

Working Principle

The tester operates viacontrolled mechanical abrasion:

  1. Sample Mounting: Leather or fabric specimens are clamped into 4 individual stations.
  2. Friction Head Application: A weighted abrading cloth (9 N load) moves back and forth across the sample surface.
  3. Cycle Execution: The machine completes 50–100 cycles (customizable) to simulate wear.
  4. Color Assessment: Post-test, the abrading cloth is evaluated for dye transfer using agray scale (AATCC EP1, ISO 105-A03)or spectrophotometer.

Test Principle & Applications

  • Color Fastness Evaluation (ISO 11640/AATCC 8):
    • The abrading cloth is rated on a 1–5 gray scale (1 = severe staining, 5 = no transfer).
    • Pass/fail criteria depend on industry standards (e.g., ≥4 for automotive upholstery).
  • Key Industries:
    • Leather Goods: Validating color retention in handbags, shoes, and furniture.
    • Automotive: Testing seat covers, steering wheels, and interior trims.
    • Apparel: Assessing dye stability in jackets, gloves, and accessories.

The 4-Station Leather Friction Color Fastness Tester streamlines quality control, enabling manufacturers to optimize formulations, reduce rejections, and meet regulatory compliance efficiently. Its multi-sample capability and adherence to global standards make it a cornerstone of material testing laboratories.
