Rub and Abrasion Tester

The Hanatek Rub and Abrasion tester (ink rub tester) brings new levels of repeatability and convenience to testing the durability of inks and coatings on any printed material.

The instrument is used for testing the scuff, marking and rub resistance of cartons, films and commercial printed material.

This comparative test works by abrading a printed sample against a reference material under known conditions.

The results can be used to identify alternative substrates, better ink and coating formulations or the suitability of finished cartons, films or printed books, magazines and promotional materials.

The Hanatek Rub and Abrasion tester can be programmed for the required number of cycles, enabling it to be run concurrently with other laboratory tests.

Optional test attachments offer the ability to conduct tests under harsher conditions and can be used to check the solvent resistance or the cure of UV inks.
