The Digital Ink Rub Tester is designed to measure scuffing or rubbing resistance. Several tests can be per- formed including dry rub-the amount of transfer ink from one dry surface to another, wet rub-the amount of transfer of ink from wetted surface to another, wet bleed or transfer-ink transfer to a water-saturated blotter, wet smear-similar to wet bleed with the addition or rub cycles, functional rub/wet rub-smear or transfer tests using a liquid other than water and hot abrasion. An optional heated weight provides a uniform test for evaluating "hot abrasion" resistance of printed cartons, labels etc. • Three speeds- The standard speed (42 cycles per minute) and two higher speeds (85 and 100 cycles per minute) allow you to decrease the testing time for samples requiring a higher number of rubs • Large character LCD Display • Displays count up, count down, test status and con- • Preset counts remain in memory • Automatic shut-off • Selectable "test complete" alarm • Two-year warranty Printing, Coatings, Packaging, Inks weight, spare rubber pads, and scoring fixture • Heated weights 2 lb and 4 lb available • Replacement Pads available • Electrical: Specify voltage when ordering ASTM D5264 Standard Practice for Abrasion Resistance TAPPI T-830 Ink rub test of container board Main Headquarters Messmer Instruments Business Estate West Mill, Gravesend Veenendaal, Netherlands Lawson Hemphill Adamel Lhomargy SARL Roissy en Brie, France Pointe-Claire Dorva
