Know The Standards And Equipment For Rubbing Color Fastness Test

Know the standards and equipment for rubbing color fastness test

2020-05-22

Why should we evaluate the rubbing color fastness of the fabric? When people wear clothing, the fabric and the lining will produce friction; various spliced parts will also produce friction; when relying on objects, it will also produce friction; these frictions are likely to be due to the color fastness of the friction of the fabric. The color shift will affect the appearance of the clothing. Therefore, the rubbing color fastness test is listed in GB 18401 "National Textile Basic Safety Technical Specifications" as a basic technical requirement is reasonable.

Now that the color fastness to rubbing is so important, as a professional testing agency or professional testing personnel; we should have a deeper understanding of the color fastness to rubbing test to make our test results close to the true values of the samples.

Common standards for rubbing color fastness test:

Chinese standard： GB/T 3920

International Standard： ISO 105 X12/X16

American standard： AATCC 8/AATCC 116

Japanese Standard： JIS L0849 Type I /Type II

Other national standards are not often used, and standard numbers are not listed here, just to popularize the national standard prefixes.

Happy Lantern Festival

Today is the Lantern Festival, a festival full of poetry and warmth. AVENO wish everyone peace and joy, family harmony, and a happy Lantern Festival. In the early morning, the sunlight shines through the windows, as if it also brings the joy of the festival. The streets and alleys have already been decorated with lanterns, and those lanterns are like stars falling on the earth, decorating the city with colorful colors. The streets and alleys are filled with the sweet fragrance of Yuanxiao, which is the happy taste of glutinous rice and fillings. As night falls and the lights come on, the festive atmosphere reaches its climax. The family sits together, eating steaming hot Yuanxiao, with laughter echoing in the room. After dinner, stroll along the street and watch the dragon and lion dance teams shuttle through the streets. The dancers are agile and the dragon and lion seem to be alive, attracting cheers from the crowd. Looking up at the night sky, the bright moon hangs high, reflecting the lanterns, forming a beautiful picture. On this beautiful day, may we all have the warmth of the sun in our hearts, like the fillings of the Lantern Festival, wrapped tightly in sweetness and happiness. May life be as colorful as the lanterns in the sky; may our future be as bright and clear as the bright moonlight. Happy Lantern Festival, may everyone enjoy this reunion moment!

ASTM D4970 Martindale Abrasion Tester Test Method

Jan 16, 2025

ASTM D4970 Martindale Abrasion Tester Test Method

Experimental principle: It can detect the abrasion and pilling performance of various fabrics. Under a certain pressure, the sample and the specified abrasive are continuously rubbed against each other in a certain geometric pattern, and the abrasion and pilling degree are evaluated by comparing with the standard parameters. Touch screen control, equipped with a full-featured programmer, can pre-program batch and total counts, set the count of each test head separately; multiple speeds including standard speed can be selected. Experimental sample preparation: 1. Use a sampler to cut three specimens with a diameter of 38 mm from the sample. 2. Before testing, the specimens should be placed in an environment of 21±1℃ and 65±2% and humidified according to D1776. ASTM D4970 Martindale Abrasion Tester Experimental steps: 1. All test processes are completed under standard atmosphere. 2. Place a piece of 140mm diameter felt and 140mm standard friction cloth on each grinding table in turn, use a heavy hammer to flatten the friction cloth and felt (make sure there are no wrinkles, if it is not flat, repeat the above process), and fix the ring. (Fix the abrasive so that the warp and weft yarns of the woven fabric are parallel to the frame of the machine). 3. Clamp the sample with the sample clamp and make it face down. If the sample is lighter than 500g/m2, place 38mm polyurethane foam between the sample and the sample clamp. If the sample is heavier than 500g/m2, there is no need to place foam. 4. Place the sample clamp on the grinding table and apply the required pressure. For wearing fabrics, a pressure of 9±0.2kpa should be applied, and for decorative fabrics, a pressure of 12±0.3kpa should be applied. 5. The counter needs to be adjusted to zero, preset the appropriate number of times, and start the machine. 6. After the instrument stops, take out the sample to observe and evaluate its progress, estimate the number of times required to continue the experiment, and when approaching the end of the experiment, reduce the number of frictions between two inspections. It is necessary to carefully remove the hair particles produced by the sample during the test. 7. Experiment termination conditions: 1) Woven fabrics are worn until two or more yarns are broken, and knitted fabrics are worn until a hole is broken. 2) The experiment can be considered terminated when the color of the sample is worn away or its appearance is deformed, which will cause consumer complaints. 3) The experiment is terminated when the degree of color fading can be compared with the AATCC gray scale for color change to level 3. 4) It is determined by the percentage of mass loss before and after the sample is rubbed. 8. Record the number of frictions at the end of the experiment. Experimental report: 1. Reference standard, instrument model, experimental method and pressure used 2. Record the content according to the selected experimental termination conditions. 3. The average number of fr...
