Color fastness to rubbing test is an evaluation method to determine how long textile products retain their color under dry or wet rubbing conditions. These tests, carried out in accordance with TS EN ISO 105 X12, BS EN ISO 105 X12 and ISO 105 X12 standards, assess the risk of color loss or color transfer of textile products due to friction. This test is of great importance to increase the durability of textile products and ensure compliance with international standards.
How to Test Color Fastness to Rubbing?
The color fastness to rubbing test is performed in the laboratory using a standardized procedure. A suitable sample is first prepared for the test. This sample is then subjected to friction against a specific surface in a dry or wet condition. The color loss or color transfer during friction is observed and recorded. The test results are evaluated in accordance with international standards to determine the product’s resistance to friction. This process is a critical step in ensuring the quality assurance of textile products.
