Manufacturers, converters, and research institutions use this Cardboard Paper Ink Rub Resistance Tester to simulate real-world friction conditions that printed surfaces endure during storage, transportation, and handling. By using this equipment, users can ensure their print quality meets the required durability standards and customer expectations.


Core Applications

This tester is ideal for evaluating the wear resistance and adhesion of ink, coatings, and printed layers on:

  • Corrugated cardboard packaging

  • Paper labels and leaflets

  • Flexible packaging films

  • Pharmaceutical packaging materials

  • Beverage cartons

  • Laminated materials used in food contact applications

By applying repetitive rubbing motion under controlled pressure and speed, the Cardboard Paper Ink Rub Resistance Tester quantifies the print durability to ensure compliance with industry standards and client specifications.


Compliance with Industry Standards

The Cardboard Paper Ink Rub Resistance Tester is fully compliant with internationally recognized test standards:

  • TAPPI T830 – Ink Rub Test for Printed Materials

  • ASTM D5264 – Standard Practice for Abrasion Resistance of Printed Materials by the Sutherland Rub Tester

These standards define best practices for testing abrasion resistance and are critical for ensuring reproducibility and accuracy across different test environments.


Key Features of Cardboard Paper Ink Rub Resistance Tester

  1. Advanced PLC Control with HMI Interface
    Offers intuitive operation with programmable parameters and digital test control to ensure accurate and repeatable results.

  2. Five Distinct Test Modes
    Supports dry rub, wet rub, wet smear, wet bleed or transfer, and functional rub, covering all common ink durability scenarios.

  3. Flexible Test Speed Setting
    Allows adjustable rub speeds ranging from 20 to 120 cycles per minute, ideal for simulating various application environments.

  4. Dual-Station Testing Platform
    Dual specimen stations with arc movement structure enhance efficiency and testing throughput.

  5. Automatic Test Completion Alert
    Integrated buzzer system notifies users when the test cycle is complete.

  6. Precision Cycle Control
    Accurate rub cycle counting with minimal deviation ensures consistency and data integrity.

  7. Robust Mechanical Construction
