About This Product
Dyed or printed leather can lose colour when it is rubbed against skin, clothes or other surfaces. The crocking test checks colour fastness to rubbing under dry or wet conditions. A moving brass finger rubs the specimen under a fixed load, and a piece of abradant leather is fixed over the base of the finger to pick up any colour that transfers. The colour lost by the specimen and the colour picked up by the abradant leather are then graded with grey scales.
