Description

Scuff Tester / Rotary Rub Tester              VXC Series

The Scuff Tester or Rotary Rub Tester is intended to evaluate the quality of printing on paper or paper board.

To evaluate Abrasion Resistance or Colour Transfer from printed / coated surface due to rubbing or scuffing action experienced by printed material during production, handling, or transportation.

This equipment is meant for semi-rigid substrates like Paper Board / Duplex Board but can also be used for measurement of abrasion resistance of thicker Plastic Films / Laminates / Aluminum Foils.

Principle :

In this machine, 2 samples of the same substrate are rubbed against each other in the same plane, under a constant pressure of 2 – 4 p.s.i and at a fixed speed of 60 RPM.

Method of rubbing :         Rotary Rub (Circular Motion)

Confirms to :                       BS-3110 standards.
