The Scuff Tester 21CFR is a very accurate instrument to evaluate the rub resistance between two stickers or any general printed material. The term scuff implies the rubbing of two materials against each other.
The Testronix scuff tester rubs two printed materials against each other face to face in the same plane at constant speed and rubbing pressure.
This instrument can also be used to prevent color transfer from one printed material to another or any coated surfaces during rubbing.
With the Testronix Scuff Tester 21CFR the manufactures can rest assured as we provide them with the best quality at affordable prices.
Testronix scuff resistance tester 21 CFR follows industry standards i.e ASTM F2497-05
The Scuff Tester 21CFR helps make sure printed labels, packaging surfaces and coated materials stay clear, readable, and durable. It is done by checking how well they hold up against rubbing or friction during handling and transport. It supports smooth quality control by showing how resistant a surface is to wear which helps prevent smudging, fading or damage that could affect product identification or appearance. Using this tool makes work easier because it provides consistent results that help teams spot problems early, reduce rework, and maintain compliance with regulatory expectations.
It also helps improve production processes by identifying weak areas in inks, coatings and finishes which help manufacturers to make modifications before items reach customers. With simple operation and dependable performance, the scuff tester supports both routine testing and detailed evaluations, making packaging more reliable, improving brand presentation and giving confidence that products will look the same from factory to shelf.
