COLORFAST-2000: Friction Colour Fastness Analyzer

2025-04-14

Overview​
The COLORFAST-2000 evaluates the colorfastness of textiles to friction (dry and wet rubbing) per international standards such as AATCC 8, ISO 105-X12, and GB/T 3920. Designed for apparel manufacturers, dye houses, and quality control teams, it ensures compliance with global color durability benchmarks while providing repeatable measurements of color transfer and stain resistance.

​Core Features​

  1. ​Adjustable Testing Parameters: Configurable load (5–20 N), rubbing speed (10–100 cycles/min), and sample sizes (up to 20 cm²).
  2. ​Dual Testing Modes: Simulates both dry and wet friction using replaceable abrasive cloths (cotton, polyester) and controlled humidity (10–95% RH).
  3. ​Precision Sensing: High-resolution cameras track color transfer (±0.1% accuracy) and measure stain intensity via spectrophotometry (CIE Lab color space).
  4. ​Automated Reporting: Generates ISO/ASTM-compliant reports with colorfastness ratings (1–5 scale) and digital imaging for audit trails.

​Applications​

  • ​Apparel: Certify workwear, sportswear, and upholstery for colorfastness under repeated rubbing.
  • ​Automotive: Test seat covers and interior fabrics for stain resistance.
  • ​Textile Printing: Validate dye adhesion in digital and screen-printed fabrics.

​Compliance​
AATCC 8, ISO 105-X12, GB/T 3920, EN ISO 105-X12.

​Optional Add-Ons​

  • Multi-station fixtures for parallel testing.
  • High-speed cameras (2,000 fps) for micro-stain analysis.
  • Customizable abrasive cloths for niche materials.

​Conclusion​
The COLORFAST-2000 delivers critical insights into color durability, enabling manufacturers to optimize dye formulations and meet stringent global standards.
