Scratch Testing with Multi-Finger 5-finger Tester

Many plastics have visco elastic properties and the stresses in the plastic may relax during loading. Plus, plastics demonstrate an elastic recovery after applied stresses are removed. For example, parameters such as scratch width, groove depth, displaced material and severity of the damage may change over time. Other issues that may affect the visual perception of scratches include the color of the sample, amount of strain whitening, scratch direction, lighting and viewing conditions, and the amount of time an observer is allowed to view the sample.


The taber multi finger scratch/mar tester also known as the 5-finger scratch tester, this instrument is used to evaluate the scratch and mar resistance of resilient materials. A variable speed, pneumatically driven sledge is moved below five independent, weighted scratch "fingers" that are equipped with interchangeable scratch tips. Includes: spline shaft 'finger' assembly (5); scratch tip with 1.0mm diameter hemisphere (set of 5); mar tip with 7.0mm diameter hemisphere (set of 5); weight set (consisting of 2N; 3N; 4.5N; 5N; 6N; 7N; 10N; 15N; and 20N); and specimen clamp.
The 'five-finger' scratch tester has been popular in the automotive industry for testing smooth or grained plastics commonly used in ornamentation or trim. Useful for quality control as well as material or product development, the Multi-Finger Scratch / Mar Tester is ideal for evaluating plastics, rigid organic materials, paints and coatings, soft metals,linoleum, plus many others.

The Leather Friction Color Fastness Tester

Leather friction color fastness tester applied to test leather property in shoes, clothing, luggage handbag industry, research laboratories; commodity inspection, arbitration and technical supervision departments.Leather friction color fastness tester test the degree of decolorization of dyeing leather after friction. It can used to test the leather color resistance to dry, wet and friction. This instrument is suitable for leather, textile, belt, trademarks, cardboard and other friction materials by foreign object damage and decoloring. The machine is designed to carry out a rub fastness test on the surface of leather or coated fabrics to determine the marring of the surface finish and to assess the amount of color transfer from the sample to the rubbing pad. This machine is designed to determining the colorfastness of leather, plastics and textile materials. The colorfastness is assessed by checking change in color of the specimen and stain of the felt after rubbing the ...

How Sublimation Fastness Tester Works?

Sublimation Fastness Tester is a suitable instrument for dyestuff manufacturers as well as textile processors for checking effects of dry heat on dyestuff. Qinsun-lab offers Sublimation Fastness Tester of the best quality and at the best price which gives accurate results.    Features of Sublimation Fastness Tester : Testing the effect of direct heat on the dyestuff； up to 250°C temperature range； Independent digital timers with the minimum display of 1℃(one with each of top and bottom plates, respectively)； Can test entire range of temperature in a single test.                           Working Principle: A dyed cloth piece is sandwiched between two undyed pieces and placed to cover the heat pads and the test goes on for a preset time period. The fabric pieces should be picked up immediately. The undyed fabric pieces will be stained by the dyes. This gives the sublimation fastness ...

what is the Working Principle of fogging tester?

Fogging Test Chamber   is the best tool to determine the fogging characteristics of automotive or other vehicle interior materials. The fogging tester is applicable for gravimetric method, photometric method and haze measurement method. Working Principle: The main frame of the Fogging tester includes a water sink fully filled with specified ethylene glycol, which can reach a high temperature. At the time of testing, leather specimens are put in the six standard glass containers filled with  high temperature liquid, and the stainless steel containers are placed above each glass. Relying on the constant water flow distribution, the temperature can maintain at 20℃ constantly, and it can be adjusted through the regulation device connected to the main frame. This controlled environment condition will generate a layer of “fog” on the surface of specimens. The operator can determine the fogging characteristics of materials based on gravimetric analysis method or refraction...
