Adhesion tester TAPPI T-830, ASTM D5264 | 10-18

for ink

The Digital Ink Rub Tester is designed to measure scuffing or rubbing resistance. Several tests can be performed including dry rub-the amount of transfer ink from one dry surface to another, wet rub-the amount of transfer of ink from wetted surface to another, wet bleed or transfer-ink transfer to a water-saturated blotter, wet smear-similar to wet bleed with the addition or rub cycles, functional rub/wet rub-smear or transfer tests using a liquid other than water and hot abrasion. An optional heated weight provides a uniform test for evaluating “hot abrasion” resistance of printed cartons, labels etc. APPLICATIONS Printing, Coatings, Packaging, Inks SPECIFICATIONS - Includes (1) 1.8 kg(4 lb) weight, (1) 0.9 kg(2 lb) weight, spare rubber pads, and scoring fixture - Heated weights 2 lb and 4 lb available - Replacement Pads available STANDARDS Meets TAPPI T-830 and ASTM D5264 - ASTM D5264 Standard Practice for Abrasion Resistance of Printed Materials - TAPPI T-830 Ink rub test of container board FEATURES - Three speeds- The standard speed (42 cycles per minute) and two higher speeds (85 and 100 cycles per minute) allow you to decrease the testing time for samples requiring a higher number of rubs - Large character LCD Display - Displays count up, count down, test status and configurations - Preset counts remain in memory - Automatic shut-off - Selectable “test complete” alarm - Two-year warranty
