SCUFF RESISTANCE TESTER

About SCUFF RESISTANCE TESTER

A Scuff Resistance Tester is a quality control instrument used to measure how well printed materials (such as labels, packaging, and printed cartons) resist rubbing or scuffing during handling, shipping, and storage. Heres a quick breakdown for you: --- Purpose To simulate the rubbing action that printed surfaces experience in real life. To check the durability of inks, coatings, and printed text. --- How It Works 1. Two specimen holders (upper and lower) hold printed samples face-to-face. 2. The upper holder moves in a reciprocating motion over the lower sample at a set speed and load. 3. After a preset number of rubs (cycles), the test stops. 4. The operator checks visible wear, smudging, or color fading. --- Key Features Adjustable load pressure and rub speed. Cycle counter to set test duration. Some models offer dry rub and wet rub testing. Quick-change clamps for easy sample placement.
