Rub Tester is designed to evaluate the scuffing or rubbing resistance of printed or coated surface of paper, paperboard, film, laminates, substrates, etc. It’s a motor-driven device for moving a weighted test specimen over the printed or unprinted sample through an arc of 57mm for a preset number of strokes.
This method evaluates resistance of inks to either dry or wet rubbing or scuffing. It can also be used to evaluate dry or wet
surface strength of coated container board. unprinted container board, and other similar surfaces as well as the smearing or bleeding of inks. A heated platen can also be used to evaluated heat resistance of inks and varnishes. Some use this test to differentiate between strong and weak ink films and their adhesion to container board.
