Circular Rubbing Colour Fastness Tester – Leather & Textile Color Transfer Testing Machine
The instrument uses a circular wool felt (dry or wet) to rub against the test specimen under predefined conditions. After a specified number of rotations, results are compared against a gray scale to assess color fastness. Its robust design and microprocessor-controlled operations ensure accurate and repeatable testing.
Applications
The Circular Rubbing Fastness Tester is suitable for:
- Textiles: Testing color fastness of fabrics, yarns, and dyed materials
- Leather & Footwear: Evaluating upper materials, linings, and insocks for color transfer resistance
