The color fastness test of textile materials is the most common and the most headache in the textile industry.

From the principle, feature, standards and so on, understand the key of each standard, so as to master the core of the perspiration test.

A. What is the perspiration tester

The color fastness to perspiration refers to the ability not to fade and not to stain when the dyed fabric is perspired, and it is one of the main color fastness testing items of textiles. In daily life, textiles clenched to the skin for a long time and come into contact with the sweat secreted by the skin, which may lead to the transfer of dyes to the skin, so it is particularly important of colour fastness to perspiration test of clothing products.

Aatcc perspiration testerfor Textile Testing apply for testing perspiration resistance color fastness of all kinds of textile materials & dyeing, colorful textile and test for their perspiration resistance, waterproof, seawater resistance, saliva resistance, chlorine bleach resistance, etamsylate resistance and other performance.

B. The Feature of perspiration tester

1. Steel frame and heavy pouch made of 316L stainless steel, it can acid-bases, corrosion resistance for long time.

2. Provides ISO and the AATCC acrylic separator plates.

3. Provides ISO and the AATCC standard pressing weights.

4 .Perspiration test request to use high accuracy drying oven.

C. Standards

D. How to use the perpiration tester?

The color fastness to perspiration is widely used in determining the color fastness of textiles to perspiration, sea water, saliva and distilled water. The colored textile specimen combined together with the prescribed  lining fabric is wet out in a simulated acid perspiration solution or others.After the wetting processed, the specimen combination is extruded to remove the excess fluid and sandwiched between the sample board, applied with specified pressure for a certain period of time. Then dry the specimen and the lining fabric seperately and observe the color change.
