Ink Abrasion Wear Machine

The ink abrasion tester evaluates the adhesion strength of ink on substrates through rotational friction testing. The instrument brings the ink sample into contact with a friction medium and subjects it to motion, assessing scratch resistance based on the degree of wear. It is used for quality inspection of printed materials and to control the ink durability performance of products such as packaging materials and labels.
Selection
When selecting an ink abrasion tester, it is essential to match the pressure range and friction speed required by the testing standards. Consider the compatibility of the sample size with the fixture, and ensure that the friction head material aligns with the actual medium. Pay attention to the structural stability and data repeatability of the instrument, and choose between manual or automatic models based on daily testing volume.
