Steps of testing colorfastness to crocking

Colorfastness to rubbing or crocking is a basic testing procedure of a garments or fabric. Crocking fastness takes the staining degree of white fabric as grading principle, 5 grades in total. The higher the value, the better the crocking fastness.After producing fabric it is badly need to take a test of crocking. Crocking is like rubbing a period of time with a minimum cycle. So here we are showing you how to do colorfastness to crocking. Colorfastness to rubbing or crocking is nothing but a combination of dry and wet rubbing test.


  There are basically two steps in colorfastness to rubbing or crocking. In basic procedure we generally follow the following steps:
  Colorfastness to rubbing or crocking in dry fabric is the first steps of rubbing test. In textile manufacturing process it is called dry rubbing test.First one object (fabric or garments) should have to select which needs to test with crocking meter.

  Crockmeter is a testing machine by which colorfastness to crocking is done. First a dry garment have to place according to the position. 

  Then one pure cotton fabric swatch is place on the teeth of the crock machine. 

  Then run machine about ten cycle and put out the white watch from the teeth of machine. 

  See the dry rubbing effect of the swatch. It comes with some shade of fabric or garments that was placing for test. Now compare the shade with the grey scale and numbering the test comparing with grey scale. This is the procedure of colorfastness to crocking.

  Colorfastness to crocking in wet fabric is the second steps of rubbing test. We call it as wet rubbing test also. 
   First object has to place on the crocking machine. Crockmeter is a machine. Then we wet the pure white watch and set it on the same position of teeth as we did for the dry rubbing test. Follow same procedure and finally will get the shade in wet form. Compare it with the grey scale and grade it according to the grey scale.

Multi-Functional Scratch tester For automotive interior materials

          Multi-Functional Scratch tester is applicable to all types of wiping performance test of automotive interior materials; test equipment integrated three domestic standards (fingers scraping method, a hundred grid method, and plastic scraping finger scraping method).         Scratch tester is an electronic instrument capable of measuring critical load, adhesion, scratch resistance and bond strength for a wide range of surfaces. Scratch tester measures the scratch resistance of a sliding and moving surface in the relative motion to a stylus. The stylus is forced/pressed against the moving surface with precise controlled force which is normal to the surface and tangential force at the contact has to be measured.         Scratch tester can be utilized for all type of industrial coating from the plasma layers used in semiconductor and optical technology used in decorative coatings used for automotive and consum...

Reveal the standards for textile breathability testing and let you understand it in seconds!

 Reveal the standards for textile breathability testing and let you understand it in seconds! Breathability testing is a measure of how much gas can pass through a textile. However, there is no single "optimal" air permeability value, as it depends on the specific circumstances in which the textile is used. For example, if it is used to make sportswear, it is hoped that it has good breathability; if it is used to make insulating clothes or warm clothes, it is hoped that it can block the cold well. Therefore, when testing the air permeability of textiles, the purpose of using the textile must be clearly understood in order to obtain reasonable values. In order to accurately and quickly test the true breathability performance of a sample, specially designed and developed instruments must be used. Testing methods generally include: fabric thickness (Thickness), fabric density (Density), fabric water absorption rate (Water Absorption Rate), evaporation and mass transfer (Moistur...

Test Methods of Universal Pilling Assessment Viewer (PAV)

Universal Pilling Assessment Viewer enables fabric to be assessed while still mounted on a Martindale head. The Pilling Assessment Viewer (PAV) for the textile market has been developed with the help of a major textile company in accordance to BN EN ISO 12945 standards incorporating all 3 parts and adopting the following test methods: Part 1: ICI Pilling box method (BS 5811) Part 2: Modified Martindale method (SN 198 525) Part 3: Atlas random tumble method (ASTM D 3512-96) It uses D65 Artificial Daylight (with CWF optionally available), as specified by many retailers. Other test methods can also be viewed, including those specified by major retailers. Other results of test methods that can be viewed include: BS 5811:1986 Determination of resistance to pilling and change of appearance of fabrics. ICI modified pill box for snagging Fleece appearance and surface change after washing Other test methods as specified by several major retail outlet. To optimize c...
