Discussion On Color Fastness To Rubbing |
Rubbing fastness refers to the resistance of the color of textiles to abrasion or staining to other textiles, is one of the most important indexes in the color fastness of textiles, that is, the degree of fading of dyed fabric after friction, which can be divided into dry and wet rubbing. Rubbing fastness plays an important role especially. The assessment is divided into 5 levels (authenticity number), of which 5 means a very high rubfastness and level 1 a very low.
The color fastness to rubbing is so important, as a professional testing organization or professional inspector; we should have a deeper understanding of the color fastness to rubbing test, so that our test results are close to the true value of the sample.
Standards for rubbing color fastness test |
Japanese standard: JIS L0849 Type I /Type II
