How to choose the IULTCS Veslic Leather Abrasion Tester?

IULTCS Veslic Leather Rubbing Tester Product Description and Principle

IULTCS Veslic Leather Rubbing Tester, also known as Leather Rubbing Tester, is suitable for colour fastness testing of leather, plastic, etc. The colour fastness of the sample is determined by rubbing the sample repeatedly to determine the level of rubbing colour removal. It can be used for both dry and wet rubbing tests.

The principle of the IULTCS Veslic Leather Rubbing Tester is to rub the surface of a dye sample repeatedly with a white wool felt under a certain pressure. After a certain number of tests, the colour fastness is assessed by looking at the colour change and fading of the sample as well as the discolouration of the white wool felt.

When choosing an IULTCS Veslic Leather Friction Tester, it is important to consider factors such as test requirements, instrument performance and compliance with standards, as follows: 

Define test requirements: According to your business needs, determine the required test functions. If you need to test the colour fastness of leather in dry and wet environments, you need to choose a tester with both dry and wet rubbing functions. If you need to test the colour fastness of leather to ironing in addition to the regular rubbing colour fastness test, you can choose a model with two stations and one of them can be heated. If you want to test the abrasion resistance of the sole material to the upper material, you need to choose a model that can be adapted to test small rubber mats.

Concerned about the performance of the instrument: the tester should have adjustable load and pressure control function, in order to simulate the friction under different conditions of use, and at the same time need to have accurate speed control and cycle number control function, usually the friction speed is generally in the (40 ± 2) times / min is more appropriate. In addition, the instrument with data recording and analysis function is better, can record and analyse the colour difference data during the test process, so as to facilitate a more accurate assessment of the colour fastness of leather samples.

Consideration of standards: Ensure that the instrument complies with relevant international and domestic standards, such as ISO-11640, QB/T2537, QB/T 2882-2007, etc., in order to ensure the validity and comparability of the test results, and to facilitate product quality in line with industry norms and market requirements.

Examination of instrument configuration: check whether the instrument is equipped with stretching device, in order to make the specimen along the friction direction extension of a certain ratio, which is particularly important for testing elastic leather. At the same time, pay attention to the provision of suitable weights, such as 500g weights, whether it can achieve 500g or 1000g test weight, in order to meet the test requirements of different types of leather (such as glossy leather, suede).

Understand the ease of operation: a tester with a colour touch screen control system will be easier and more intuitive to operate. In addition, pre-set test cycles with auto-stop function make the testing process easier and reduce manual monitoring costs.
