Crocking refers to the rubbing off of color from a fabric when subjected to abrasion. One test is the AATCC 8-2001. This is a test method of the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC). This method uses a standard white cotton fabric that is rubbed against the surface of the test fabric.
Dye crocking is the result of color loss by mechanical actions such as friction and abrasion. Crocking can be the result of lack of penetration of the dyeing agent, the use of incorrect dyes or dyeing procedures, or the lack of proper washing procedures and finishing treatments after the dyeing process.
