Sutherland Rub Resistance Tester

Pacorr Instruments’ Sutherland Rub Resistance Tester is a high-performance solution for assessing the abrasion resistance of printed materials, labels, and packaging surfaces. Engineered for precision, this Rub Tester ensures that prints maintain their clarity and finish throughout handling, transport, and storage. Its sturdy design and advanced mechanics deliver long-term durability and consistent results, making it an essential tool for modern quality control laboratories.

The tester operates by applying controlled rubbing action between two printed surfaces under specific load and stroke settings. This replicates actual usage conditions to determine how well inks and coatings withstand friction and wear. It helps manufacturers detect weak print adhesion, poor coating strength, and surface imperfections before products reach the market.

Pacorr’s Sutherland Rub Resistance Tester conforms fully to ASTM D5264 standards, guaranteeing globally accepted and comparable test outcomes. Its user-friendly interface, adjustable speed, and precision calibration make it suitable for a wide range of substrates - including paper, films, foils, and laminated packaging.

Designed for professionals in printing, labeling, and packaging quality control, this Print Quality Testing Equipment provides unmatched reliability and repeatability. By integrating the Pacorr Rub Tester into routine inspection processes, manufacturers can maintain high print durability standards, enhance brand presentation, and ensure customer satisfaction through superior packaging performance.
