Foreword
This document was drafted in accordance with the rules provided in GB/T 1.1-2020
Directives for standardization - Part 1: Rules for the structure and drafting of
standardizing documents.
This document replaces GB/T 3920-2008 Textiles - Tests for colour fastness - Colour
fastness to rubbing. Compared with GB/T 3920-2008, except for structural adjustment
and editorial changes, the main technical changes are as follows:
-- Add the tolerance of the rectangular rubbing head size [see 5.1a)];
-- Add the description of “with the long side parallel to the warp direction” (see
5.2);
-- Change “Note” to clause content, and change the specification of aluminum
oxide water-resistant fine sandpaper to “particle size of P600” (see 5.3; 4.3 of
the 2008 edition);
-- Add “balance” in “equipment and materials” (see 5.5);
-- Add a chapter on “Reagents” and supplement the requirements for test water
(see Chapter 6);
-- For another method of cutting the samples, change it to “make the length
direction of the sample at 45° to the warp and weft directions of the fabric”
(see 7.1; 5.1 of the 2008 edition);
-- Add the description of “With consultation among the relevant parties,
conditioning may also be carried out in the optional standard atmosphere
specified in GB/T 6529, which shall be stated in the test report. Place each
sample and rubbing cloth on a sieve or perforated rack for conditioning.” (see
7.3);
-- Add the description of “Prepare two groups of samples, one for dry rubbing
test and the other for wet rubbing test.” (see 8.1);
-- Change the description of the test steps for wet rubbing color fastness (see 8.3;
6.3 of the 2008 edition);
-- Change “water content” to “level of soak”, and add the calculation formula
for level of soak (see 8.3; 6.3 of the 2008 edition);
-- Move the description of “Remove any excess fibers from the surface of the
rubbing cloth that may affect the rating.” to the assessment part (see 9.1; 6.2
of the 2008 edition);
Textiles - Tests for colour fastness - Colour fastness to
rubbing
1 Scope
This document describes the test methods for colour fastness to rubbing of various types
of textiles.
This document applies to dyed or printed yarns, fabrics and textile products made from
all types of fibers, including textile carpets and other velvet fabrics.
This document includes two tests, one using a dry rubbing cloth and the other using a
wet rubbing cloth.

3 Terms and definitions
No terms and definitions need to be defined in this document.
4 Principle
Rub the textile sample with a dry rubbing cloth and a wet rubbing cloth respectively,
and use the gray scale for staining to assess the staining degree of the rubbing cloth.
The testing machine for colour fastness to rubbing provides two combination test
conditions through two optional sizes of rubbing heads: one for velvet fabrics; the other
for other fabrics with solid colors or large-area printing.
5 Equipment and materials
5.1 Testing machine for colour fastness to rubbing, with a rubbing head of two optional
sizes for reciprocating linear rubbing motion; other instruments that can obtain the same
test results may also be used for this test.
a) For velvet fabrics (including textile carpets): the rubbing surface of the rubbing
head is rectangular and the size is (19.0±0.2) mm × (25.4±0.2) mm. The rubbing
head shall apply a vertical downward pressure of (9±0.2) N, and the linear
reciprocating stroke shall be (104±3) mm.
Note: When testing velvet fabrics using a rubbing head with a diameter of (16±0.1)
mm, it may be difficult when assessing the degree of staining of the rubbing
cloth. This is because the rubbing cloth will produce severe staining around the
circular rubbing area, i.e., a halo. When testing velvet fabrics, the use of the
rubbing head described in 5.1a) will eliminate the halo phenomenon. For fabrics
with a long pile, it may be difficult to assess staining even with a rectangular
rubbing head.
b) For other textiles: The rubbing head consists of a cylinder with a diameter of
(16±0.1) mm, the vertical pressure applied downward is (9±0.2) N, and the
linear reciprocating stroke is (104±3) mm.
5.2 Cotton rubbing cloth, in accordance with the provisions of GB/T 33729, cut into
squares with a side length of (50±2) mm for use in the rubbing head of 5.1b); cut into
rectangles with a size of (25±2) mm × (100±2) mm for use in the rubbing head of 5.1a),
with the long side parallel to the warp direction.
5.3 Water-resistant fine sandpaper, or metal mesh with stainless steel wire diameter of
1 mm and mesh width of about 20 mm.
Attention should be paid to the characteristics of the metal mesh or sandpaper used, as
it may leave marks on the test sample when the textile sample is placed on it, resulting
in erroneous ratings. For textile fabrics, sandpaper is preferred for testing. For reference,
aluminum oxide water-resistant fine sandpaper with a particle size of P600 can be used.
5.4 Gray scale for assessing staining, in accordance with the requirements of GB/T 251.
Use a clamping device to fix the sample on the tester platform so that the length
direction of the sample is consistent with the running direction of the rubbing head.
Place a piece of metal mesh or sandpaper between the tester platform and the sample to
help reduce movement of the sample during rubbing. Test the samples prepared in
Chapter 7 according to the procedures specified in 8.2 and 8.3.
When testing textiles with multiple colours, care should be taken to position the samples
so that all colours are rubbed if the apparatus described in 5.1b) is used. If the color area
is large enough, multiple samples can be prepared and the individual colors can be
assessed separately; if the color area is small and clustered together, the rotary color
fastness rubbing meter described in GB/T 29865 shall be used for the test.
Prepare two groups of samples, one for dry rubbing test and the other for wet rubbing
test.
8.2 Dry rubbing
Fix the conditioned rubbing cloth (see 5.2 and 7.3) evenly on the rubbing head so that
the warp direction of the rubbing cloth is consistent with the running direction of the
rubbing head. The running speed is 1 reciprocating rubbing cycle per second, with a
total of 10 rubbing cycles. The rubbing stroke on the dry sample is (104 ± 3) mm and
the vertical downward pressure applied is (9 ± 0.2) N (see 5.1). Remove the rubbing
cloth and perform conditioning according to 7.3.
8.3 Wet rubbing
Weigh the mass of the conditioned rubbing cloth; soak it completely in grade-3 water;
take it out and remove excess water; then weigh the mass of the rubbing cloth again.
Calculate the level of soak of the rubbing cloth according to Formula (1) to reach 95%
~ 100%. Then, fix the rubbing cloth (see 5.2 and 7.3) evenly on the rubbing head so
that the warp direction of the rubbing cloth is consistent with the running direction of
the rubbing head. The running speed is 1 reciprocating rubbing cycle per second, with
a total of 10 rubbing cycles. The rubbing stroke on the dry sample is (104 ± 3) mm and
the vertical downward pressure applied is (9 ± 0.2) N (5.1). Remove the rubbing cloth;
let it dry naturally; condition it according to 7.3.
Where:
W – level of soak of the rubbing cloth, %
m0 – mass of the rubbing cloth after conditioning, in grams (g);
m1 – mass of the rubbing cloth after being immersed in water, in grams (g).
