textiles light fastness tester
Introduction:
textiles light fastness tester designed to meet the requirements of ISO 105 B02 and AATCC Test Method 16 standards. It has a rotating specimen rack and provides precise control of critical test parameters including spectrum, irradiance, relative humidity, chamber temperature and black standard temperature.
Usage:
textiles light fastness tester to determine the resistance of the color of textiles to fade when exposed to artificial light (xenon arc) which is representative of natural daylight.
Testing Standards:
ISO 105-B02 Textiles -- Tests for color fastness -- Part B02: Color fastness to artificial light: Xenon arc fading lamp test
ISO 105-B04 Textiles -- Tests for color fastness -- Part B04: Color fastness to artificial weathering: Xenon arc fading lamp test
ISO 105-B07 Textiles -- Tests for color fastness -- Part B07: Color fastness to light of textiles wetted with artificial perspiration
