Color Fastness Tester

The Perspiration Color Fastness Tester is designed for evaluating the resistance of textiles to various perspiration conditions. It determines the effect of acidic or alkaline sweat, seawater, saliva, and distilled water on the color fastness of textile materials. The instrument combines the test specimen with specified adjacent fabrics, applies test solutions, and applies controlled pressure for a fixed duration. After treatment, specimens and adjacent fabrics are dried and assessed for color change and staining. The tester is compatible with AATCC and ISO chemical reagent sets and can hold multiple specimens simultaneously.

Applications

(1) Testing the color fastness of woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, yarns, nonwovens, dyed or printed textiles, finished garments, home textiles, automotive interior textiles, and protective textiles.

(2) Evaluating textiles exposed to acidic and alkaline perspiration, seawater, saliva, and distilled water.

(3) Quality control in textile manufacturing, research institutes, and third-party testing laboratories.

(4) Pre-production testing of textiles in laboratories or on-site inspection for functional performance.
