Testfabrics AATCC Multifibre Heat Sealed Fabric identifies dye transfer across six fiber types during lab trials. Under high-agitation wash cycles, heat-sealed edges prevent unraveling. This material complies with AATCC and ISO 105-F10 standards for staining assessment.
Key Features
- Heat-Sealed Edges: Under mechanical agitation, thermal treatment prevents thread loss. Strips stay intact during high-speed washing.
- 6-Fiber Identification: With individual bands of acetate, cotton, nylon, polyester, acrylic, and wool. Standardizes dye transfer results across substrates.
- Standardized Compliance: Despite high humidity, material meets ISO 105-F10 and AATCC Style 1 specifications. Facilitates accurate staining assessment in BD labs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is AATCC multifibre used for?
It measures color transfer from a specimen to various fiber types during staining tests. Labs use it for perspiration and water fastness evaluations.
Why use heat sealed test fabrics?
Thermal bonding stops edges from fraying in domestic or industrial wash testers. This prevents fiber contamination and maintains specimen weight.
