Washing Fastness Tester
The Washing Fastness Tester is designed to evaluate the resistance of textiles to laundering and dry cleaning. It is suitable for assessing the color fastness performance of dyes and finishes. The instrument features an intelligent controller to regulate temperature, time, and heating rate. It includes water inlet and drainage valves, interchangeable 550 mL and 1200 mL stainless steel washing cups with rotary discs, and programmable operation compatible with AATCC, ISO, and other test methods. Users can select from the last three tests or define custom programs.
Applications
