    Friction Fastness Test (JIS L 0849)

    Uploaded by

    The friction fastness test evaluates the degree of color transfer between layered fabrics due to rubbing. There are dry and wet tests. For the dry test, the sample fabric is rubbed 100 times against a dry cotton cloth under a 200g load. For the wet test, the rubbing is done with a wet cotton cloth under standardized wetness. The test results are evaluated on a grayscale to determine the level of contamination transferred to the cotton cloth, with higher numbers indicating better fastness. Common test standards require a dry rating of 3-4 and wet rating of 2 or higher for adequate colorfastness.

    Friction fastness test (JIS L 0849)

    Overview

    　The "friction fastness test" evaluates the "degree of color transfer (contamination)" due to
    the rubbing action between clothing items such as layered clothing. There are two concepts of
    fastness, "discoloration and fading" and "contamination", and depending on the fastness item,
    there are those that use only "discoloration and fading" as the test result and those that use
    only "contamination" as the test result. The friction fastness test uses only "contamination" as
    the test result.

    　If you're wearing dark blue jeans and a white shirt, have you ever experienced a dark blue
    rubbing color transfer around the hem of your shirt? This is because the color has transferred
    from jeans (dark blue) to shirt (white) due to the friction between jeans and the shirt when
    worn. This is an accident that tends to occur in areas where clothing rubs against each other.
    The friction fastness test can detect such danger in advance.

    Test method

    　There are two types of friction fastness tests. One is the "dry test" and the other is the "wet
    test". The friction tester has a table, and the fabric is attached to this table and the cotton cloth
    is attached to the tip of the arm (friction: Masatsushi) at the top of the friction tester.

    　The "drying test" rubs the fabric with a dry cotton cloth. Use a "friction tester" to rub.
    There are two types of this testing machine, but usually "Type II" (Nigata), also known as
    "Gakushin type", is used.
    With a load of about 200 g, it rubs 100 mm long back and forth 100 times. After rubbing,
    remove the cotton cloth from the tester and use a grayscale for contamination to determine
    "contamination" to determine the fastness value.

    　The "wet test" uses a wet cotton cloth. Since the test results vary greatly depending on the
    degree of wetting, the degree of wetting (about 100% wet state) is also defined by the JIS
    standard. Attach the dough to the table anew. Then attach a moistened cotton cloth to the
    friction element and rub it as in the dry test. After rubbing, remove from the tester and dry the
    cotton cloth. Once dry, the fastness value is determined by determining "contamination"
    using a grayscale for contamination.
     
    1. Attach the elongated sample to the testing machine.  

    2. Attach the cotton cloth to the friction element


     

    3. A cotton cloth reciprocates and rubs the elongated sample 10 cm in the long side
    direction.  
    4. Cotton cloth after the test (the part where the center was rubbed).

    Test result example

    "Friction fastness dry test pollution: 4th grade" "Friction fastness wet test pollution: 3rd
    grade"

    (In some cases, "contamination" is omitted and "dry test: 4th grade, wet test: 3rd grade")

    How to read the test results

    　A general guideline is dry 3-4 grade or higher and wet 2nd grade or higher. Due to the
    characteristics of the material, denim and other items that are prone to color transfer may be
    quality controlled with a dry grade of 3 or higher and a wet grade of 1-2 or higher.

    column

    　In general, the results of the friction fastness test are often lower in the wet test than in
    the dry test, but in rare cases the wet test may have a higher series than in the dry test. It
    is also said that this is because the surface of the fabric becomes slippery due to the
    moisture of the moistened cotton cloth (low series = easy color transfer).
