OVERVIEW- 

Rubbing Fastness Tester is an instrument used to determine color fastness to wet and dry rubbing. It tests textiles, carpets, laminates, and printing inks, the staining of the crocking cloths is assessed with an ISO / AATCC Grey Scale.

Paramount Rubbing Fastness Tester i9™(Motorized) is an advanced Microprocessor based version of Rubbing Fastness tester which is operated automatically by a motor as per standard requirements. It has an aerodynamic design with customer friendly features. It consists of the Main Unit having an Oscillating Arm with a Finger, which Rubs over the Test Specimen under a specified Load over the Test Specimen. The rubbing finger is cylindrical in shape and has a flat base, which is covered with a piece of standard white Crocking cloth which picks up the color lost by the test specimen. The Crocking cloth is held over the finger with the help of a Stainless-Steel Spring Clip. Motion to the finger is given by the Oscillating arm, which runs on bearing free Teflon rollers to minimize friction and to give uniform load on the finger. The Oscillating arm is moved with the help of a Geared motor with instant braking (specially developed by Paramount (R&D)). The equipment is finished in fine Blue and Gray paint.
