Electric Crocking Tester – GenCrock

The Electric Crocking Tester - GenCrock tests the dyeing of fabrics and the fade degree of leather after dry or wet rubbing. This tester is a must-have for textile manufacturers and quality control departments as it allows them to test and evaluate the colour fastness of the fabric or leather. It measures the transfer of colour from the specimen onto the rubbing cloth, which is then evaluated on a scale to determine the specimen's dyeing grade.

The GenCrock from NextGen Material Testing machine works by fastening the specimen to the base of the crocking meter and rubbing it with an abrasive hammer attached to a wet or dry cloth under controlled conditions. The tester has a load capacity of 9°0, 2N, an abrasion stroke of 104°3mm, and an abrasion speed of 60cpm. Moreover, it has an LCD counter with a range of 0-999,999 to keep track of the number of rubs completed during the test.

NextGen's Electric Crocking Tester - GenCrock machine has a maximum load capacity of 9°0, 2N. The machine can apply a load of up to 9°0, 2N during the rubbing test.

The machine's load capacity is an important consideration when testing the colorfastness of fabrics and leather. But why? The amount of load applied during the rubbing test can affect the colour transfer and fading of the specimen. Therefore, if you want to ensure accurate testing results, using a machine with an appropriate load capacity is essential.

The GenCrock NextGen Material Testing machine is designed to simulate the rubbing conditions that fabrics and leather may encounter during use. The machine has an abrasive hammer attached to a wet or dry cloth that is rubbed against the specimen under controlled conditions. The machine's load capacity ensures that the rubbing test is conducted with the appropriate amount of force to simulate real-world rubbing conditions accurately.

The only consumable is the AATCC Crockmeter Test cloth. These are to be cut into 2"x 2" straight edge squares which are then mounted on the test heads for the color analysis. A new piece of test cloth must be used for each new test specimen and test cycle.

The AATCC Test Method 8 is a method by the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC).

ASTM recommends the use of AATCC Test Method 8 for analyzing the test results. AATCC Test Method 8 covers all textiles including those produced by yarn or fabric or materials that are dyed, printed or otherwise colored. By analyzing the results, a Grade value can be given to the material where:
Grade 5 = no color transfer
Grade 1 = high degree of color transfer

The process begins by mounting the abrasive pad over the abrasive head. The abrasive pad is a consumable and can be purchased through NextGen for your testing requirements. The specimen is then held in place by a simple clamping fixture. After setting the amount of test cycles, the machine is ready to start and will apply constant pressure to the test specimen. Analysis of color transfer can be done once the cycle count has been reached.

The ASTM D5053 industry standard involves the testing of leather materials. D5053 allows for the analysis of color transfer from leather onto other surfaces by rubbing under wet, dry or both conditions for extensive analysis.

The ASTM D2054 industry standards explains a process of determining the degree of color that may transfer from the textile tape of zippers onto other surfaces by the act of rubbing. This is possible to test in either wet or dry conditions and can be done in both conditions to analyze extensively.
