RT-01 Rub Tester

Ink rub testers are specifically designed to assess the resistance of an ink film or fiber surface on container board and corrugated board to scuffing or rubbing. Various tests can be conducted, including: Dry rub, Wet rub, Heated rub, Wet bleed or transfer, Wet smear, Functional rub, etc. (Some needs customized configuration). These tests help evaluate the durability and performance of inks on these surfaces.

Our ink rub tester, following the ASTM D5264 ink rub test procedure, is essential for evaluating ink abrasion resistance. As a leading ink rub resistance tester manufacturer, we provide abrasion ink rub testers and ink rub resistance testers specifically designed for printings.
