ISO 105 BS 1006 AATCC 8 165 Manual Friction Color Fastness Tester Rubbing Color Fastness Tester
1. Introduction
The manual friction color fastness tester is the most commonly used model in the textile industry for testing the dry and wet friction color fastness of fabrics. Under certain conditions, the sample and the standard white cloth are rubbed together, and the degree of color transfer onto the white cloth is evaluated using a color transfer gray card. It is equipped with a crank arm, a counter, a stainless steel sample holder, and a test head with a diameter of 16mm or 25mm (capable of providing a vertical pressure of 9N ± 10%).
This instrument is suitable for use in the textile, knitted fabric, leather, electroplated metal plate, and printing industries for conducting friction tests to evaluate color fastness.

3. Measurement steps:
3.1 Sample Preparation:
3.1.1 The samples and standard friction test cloths need to be conditioned in a constant temperature and humidity environment.
3.1.2 When the samples have multiple colors, all the colors should be rubbed.
3.1.3 If the areas of various colors are large enough, separate samples should be taken.
3.1.4 Cut the samples and conduct dry and wet friction tests. Ensure that all colors are rubbed.
3.1.5 If the front and back sides of the sample are made of different materials or have different colors, both the front and back sides should undergo the color fastness to friction test.
3.1.6 The dry and wet friction tests should not be repeated in the same part of the sample.
3.2 Dry Friction:
3.2.1 Place the sample flat on the friction tester with the length direction of the sample aligned with the moving direction of the instrument and fix the sample on the pressure plate. The sample should be placed flatly.
3.2.2 Fix the standard friction white cloth on the friction head, clamp it with a spring clip, and gently place the friction head on the sample.
3.2.3 Ensure that the sample does not slide or wrinkle during friction.
3.2.4 Place the friction head on the sample. Turn on the power supply, press the POWER key. Set the number of tests.
3.2.5 Press the START button to start the test. When the number of tests reaches the set value, the instrument will automatically stop.
3.2.6 Remove the standard friction white cotton cloth, and use the color comparison card for comparison and rating.
3.3 Wet friction:
3.3.1 Completely immerse the standard friction white cloth in distilled water;
3.3.2 After removing it, place it between filter paper and squeeze it to achieve a certain moisture content;
3.3.3 The remaining steps are the same as those in the dry friction test;
3.4 Result processing:
3.4.1 Before rating, gently remove the loose fibers on the friction white cloth with transparent tape;
3.4.2 Place three unused friction white cloths under the white cloth to be rated, and refer to the standard color-matching gray card to evaluate the color-matching grade of the friction white cloth.
3.5 Test Report:
3.5.1 Standard Reporting Method
3.5.2 Report the results of both dry friction and wet friction separately.
