Ink Rubbing Test of TAPPI-T 830 Container Board

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of the TAPPI-T 830 test. Ink friction testers are designed to evaluate the friction or rubbing resistance of an ink film or fiber surface on container paper.

The following tests may be done:

• Dry rubbing;
• Wet scrubbing;
• Wet bleeding or transfer;
• Wet stain; And
• Functional friction.

The ink friction tester itself is a motorized piece of equipment that delivers a certain amount of strokes to see if a sample is worn or not. Instead, the ink friction tester is supposed to simulate the wear and tear that might occur on the product the user intends to produce. This can be especially important when shipping or distributing a product.

Ink friction testers are designed to evaluate different types of testing. For example, there are dry rub test (amount of ink transferred from one dry surface to another), wet rub test (amount of ink moved from one wet surface to another) and many more. These tests may be performed for different reasons specific to the employer. It can be as simple as seeing whether certain packaging materials will flow when in contact with different types of surfaces. Some users use this test to evaluate how well certain inks work to their liking.
