Ink abrasion resistance testing is crucial in assessing the durability and quality of printed materials, ensuring they withstand the rigors of handling, shipping, and storage. Pacorr’s Ink Abrasion Resistance Tester is designed to meet the demanding standards of the printing and packaging industries, offering a robust solution for evaluating the resistance of printed materials against scuffing, marking, and smudging.

Understanding Ink Abrasion Resistance Testing
The first impression of a product often comes from its packaging. Durable packaging materials not only protect the product but also preserve brand image by ensuring that important information and branding remain visible and legible. The Pacorr Ink Abrasion Resistance Tester plays a vital role in achieving this objective, allowing manufacturers to test materials under conditions that simulate real-world handling and storage scenarios. The tester evaluates the quality of printed materials by rubbing two printed surfaces against each other at specified speeds and pressures. This method allows for the assessment of ink's ability to resist wear from friction, which is critical for items that undergo frequent handling or are exposed to environmental factors that may cause abrasion.

Pacorr's Ink Abrasion Resistance Tester comes with an array of features designed for ease of use, accuracy, and reliability. It includes a mild steel body with a powder-coated finish for durability, digital counters for precise measurement, and various models to accommodate different testing needs.

An Ink Abrasion Resistance Tester is a specialized instrument used to evaluate the durability and resistance of printed materials, labels, textiles, and coatings against abrasion, rubbing, or friction. It simulates the conditions materials might face during handling, transportation, or use, helping to ensure the longevity and quality of the print.
The tester works by rubbing two surfaces against each other under controlled conditions to simulate real-life scuffing and wearing scenarios. It measures the ability of the material's surface to withstand degradation, providing insights into its durability and longevity. Test parameters can be adjusted, such as the speed of rubbing and the number of cycles, to mimic different levels of stress.
Industries that greatly benefit from using an Ink Abrasion Resistance Tester include packaging, printing, textiles, and any sector concerned with the surface durability of their products. It plays a crucial role in quality control processes, ensuring product longevity and customer satisfaction.
Improving the abrasion resistance of printing ink often involves adding specific components like waxes or hard-drying oils to the ink formulation. These additives can enhance the ink's rub resistance, ensuring that printed products like magazines, newspapers, and brochures maintain their legibility and appearance even after frequent handling.
Key features of the Ink Abrasion Resistance Tester include adjustable speeds for different testing scenarios, compliance with ASTM 5264-92 standards, a digital cycle counter for precise measurement, and an automatic shutdown feature upon test completion. These features ensure that the tester provides accurate and reliable results for assessing the durability of printed materials.
