The Gakushin Colorfastness Abrasion Tester is a 6-station rubbing tester used for evaluating crocking, color transfer, and abrasion resistance of leather, fabric, vinyl, stitched seams, plastics, and other materials.
Each station is equipped with:
An adjustable zero-force balanced arm
A removable rub head and retainer, independently weighed
Spring-loaded clamps on the reciprocating table for secure specimen attachment
This allows six unique specimens to be tested simultaneously under controlled conditions. The tester is ideal for automotive, textile, leather, and research laboratories requiring reproducible colorfastness and abrasion testing under dry or wet conditions.
