Color Fastness Tester

The Textile Chlorinated Water Washing Color Fastness Tester is designed to evaluate the color fastness of textile materials subjected to chlorinated water washing and dry cleaning processes.

The instrument is commonly referred to as a Dry Cleaning and Washing Cylinder and is suitable for AATCC 162 test methods.

It uses a stainless steel rotating drum driven at controlled speeds to simulate washing or dry cleaning conditions, enabling objective assessment of color change and staining after exposure to chlorinated water or dry cleaning solvents.

The equipment is widely used in textile testing laboratories, inspection bodies, and research institutes.
