COLORFAST-2000: Friction Colour Fastness Analyzer

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.
