Test Procedure of Dry Rubbing and Wet Rubbing by Crockmeter

Manual friction fastness tester is the most commonly used instrument for the textile industry to detect the color fastness of the fabric to dry and wet rubbing. The test procedures for dry rubbing and wet rubbing are as follow：


Dry rubbing:
  1. Use the holding clamp to mount the specimen on the baseboard of the Crockmeter. The long direction of the specimen is parallel to the track of rubbing. Ensure the specimen lays  flat on the baseboard.
  2. Two tests are performed, one along the direction of the warp/length and the other of the weft/width.
  3. Mount a dry rubbing cloth flat over the end of the peg on the Crockmeter and hold it taut by means of the spring clip provided. Ensure that the rubbing cloth is not placed on the diagonal in the direction that the peg is moving.
  4. Rest the finger on the specimen, ensuring that the spring clip is not in contact with the test specimen.  
  5. Rub the specimen back and forth over a straight track 100mm + 8mm long for 10 complete cycles (i.e. 10 times back and forth) at a rate of 1 second for each cycle.
  6. It may be necessary to stretch some fabrics on to the base of the Crockmeter, to prevent the fabric from rucking up.


Wet rubbing:
  1. Wet out a rubbing cloth with distilled/deionised water to have about 100% pick up. A suitable method is as follows, however any method where the rubbing cloth picks up its own mass in water is acceptable.
  2. It is important to understand the quality of water used here. As per standards, Grade 3 water is a must.  
  3. Weigh the dry rubbing cloth and then thoroughly wet out in distilled/de-ionised water, squeeze the wet rubbing cloth between blotting paper and re-weigh on the balance. Make adjustments as necessary by either blotting off more water or re-wetting.
  4. Use the following method to calculate 100% pick up of water - original weight of rubbing cloth x 2 (65% in AATCC method)
  5. Carry out the appropriate test as the procedure for dry rubbing.
  6. Allow the tested rubbing cloth to dry at room temperature.

Tinuvin 1130: An Excellent UV Absorber

 In the field of the chemical industry, UV absorbers play a crucial role, particularly in protecting materials from UV damage. Today, we will delve into a highly regarded UV absorber—Tinuvin 1130. Tinuvin 1130 : chemical name: 3-(3-(2H-benzotriazole-2-yl)-4-hydroxy-5-tert-butyl phenyl)propionic acid polyethylene glycol 300 ester; CAS login number: 104810-48-2. This product is an exceptional UV absorber that offers numerous benefits due to its unique properties. One of the standout features of Tinuvin 1130 is its excellent weather resistance. It has a strong ability to absorb ultraviolet rays, particularly those with wavelengths ranging from 290-400nm. This effectively prevents coatings, plastics, rubber, and other materials from being damaged by UV rays, thereby maintaining the performance and appearance stability of these materials and extending their service life. In addition, Tinuvin 1130 exhibits good compatibility. It is easy to emulsify in water-based systems and can be...

Chrysler Bending Tester

  Brief Introduction Chrysler bending tester is designed for bending and folding manner by testing base fabric adhesion of the coating material, ie mechanical stability of the coating.  Design Basis Chrysler laboratory test method LP-463LB-9-01.  This test characterizes the degree of adhesion about the vinyl coated fabric and leather fabric coating material. Also it can be vinyl coated fabrics, leather, unsupported rupture, whitening, cracking, lamellar separation of vinyl and other soft furnishings and other materials Product Description： A tester simultaneously tests four samples, including three bend specimens and a folded specimen. When the bending jig sample is clamped at both ends, and taut, holding one end is fixed and the other end of the horizontal movement, the bending test.  The folded ends of the sample close clamped between two opposing plates, a 12lb load is applied in the folding area. If possible, close the flat to exert the appropriate pressure....

Medical Mask Synthetic Blood Penetration Tester

Surgical Masks Synthetic Blood Penetration Resistance Tester Medical Face Mask Synthetic Blood Penetration Resistance Tester is mainly used in the blood penetration test of masks, which ensures that medical masks can have enough protection to prevent the penetration of blood after splashing from bringing danger to users. It is an essential part of mask test, especially for medical masks. Face Mask Synthetic Blood Penetration Resistance Tester can be used not only to detect synthetic blood penetration resistance of medical masks, but also to detect other textile coating materials. When in use, it can be used to detect different directions only by adjusting the appropriate parameters, thus improving the practicability and working efficiency of the equipment to the greatest extent. Mask Synthetic Blood Penetration Tester  Standards: GB 19083-2010 Technical requirements of medical face masks - Anti-penetration property of 5.5 synthetic blood. YY/T 0691-2008 Clothing for protection agai...
