What is an ink abrasion resistance tester, and how does it work?
Abrasion resistance is
an important property of printed materials. Friction damage usually occurs
during storage, handling and transportation. This may result in decreased
product appearance and legibility of product information. The amount of
abrasion damage of a printed material depends on shipping conditions,
temperature, humidity, timing, etc. The test is conducted to evaluate the
relative abrasion resistance of printed inks, coatings, laminates and
substrates. Tests are carried out to measure the effects of products such as
food, detergent powder, beverages etc. on abrasion resistance as leakage may
occur while moving the products from one place to another. Ink
Abrasion Resistance Tester helps manufacturers to ensure quality and is
known as efficient testing equipment.
Rubbing resistance
defines the ability of the printed material to tolerate marking, scuffing or
smudges during packaging, handling, transport, distribution and use. This
testing machine is used to measure the abrasion resistance of the coating layer
on the surface of the printed material to analyze the life of the label to make
up the actual environment of the application. It simulates the actual work
environment of the product and determines the quality and printing method used
for printing the label based on the application of the product and its working
environment.
Various applications of Ink Abrasion
Resistance Tester are:
- ·
Label
printing: It is used to test the abrasion resistance of the ink layer of the
printed material and to analyze the problem related to the poor abrasion
resistance and ink layer falling off.
- ·
The Ink
Abrasion Resistance Tester is also able to measure the rub resistance bond
of the ink with the printable surface.
- ·
To analyze
the rubbing resistance of different materials and to collect information about
the properties of the sample material.
It tests the abrasion
resistance of photosensitive board coating layers and analyzes the problem
related to low printing force. Some label applications require special criteria
such as resistance to abrasion or good adhesion to hard label surfaces. The
label should be able to tolerate extreme temperature conditions, exposure to
moisture, etc.
There are several important points to be
considered before doing Ink abrasion resistance tester such as:
- ·
Choosing the
Right Testing Machine
- ·
Choice of
abrasion motion
- ·
Friction speed
- ·
Direction of
abrasion
- ·
The backing
of sample etc.
The Ink
Abrasion Resistance Tester is specially designed to measure the resistance
against rubbing and scratching. The machine is used to determine the properties
of a printed material against various physical conditions. These physical
conditions that cause damage, especially to printed materials. Abrasion tester
is used to test this printing technology which can bear different conditions.
