Test the color fastness to perspiration

The color fastness to rubbing test method to perspiration refers to the ability not to fade and not to stain when the dyed fabric is perspired, and it is one of the main color fastness testing items of textiles. In daily life, textiles clenched to the skin for a long time and come into contact with the sweat secreted by the skin, which may lead to the transfer of dyes to the skin, so it is particularly important of colour fastness to perspiration test of clothing products.


At present, ISO 105 E04, AATCC 15, JIS L 0848 are common color fastness to perspiration test method. In addition, GB/T 3992, BS EN ISO 105 E04, din EN ISO 105 E04, NF G07 013 E04, EN ISO 105 E04 in China, Britain, Germany, France, and Europe, which are referred to ISO 105 E04 perspiration fastness test method. 


 Comparison of the color fastness to perspiration test for different versions of ISO 105 E04: 

Comparison of ISO 105 E04:2013, ISO 105 E04:2008 and ISO 105 E04:1994


 Comparison of the standard of colour fastness to perspiration in different countries: 

Comparison of ISO 105 E04, AATCC 15, and JIS L 0848


1.1 Choosing of Adjacent Fabric

Adjacent fabric specified in ISO 105 – E04 can be single fiber adjacent fabric, and also can multifiber adjacent fiber. If use single fiber adjacent fabric, one of adjacent fabric chosen is made of fibers of the same kind as the specimen, and the other chosen is made of corresponding fibers standard specifies; if specimen is blending or interweave fabric, for the first sample, the fibers with the main content are selected, while for the second sample, the fibers with the minor content are selected.


It can be seen that compared with ISO 105 – E04: 1994, ISO 105 – E04: 2008 is less two kinds of a single fiber, hemp, and CA tow. From the point of my view, the main reason is that the properties of hemp and cotton are close to each other, while the properties of CA tow and viscose are close to each other, and the choice of the second fiber is basically similar. From the original 9 kinds of single fibers to 7 kinds of single fibers, it is more in line with actual operation. 


1.2 Comparison of Treatment Methods for Composite Specimen after Immersion

Standard ISO 105 – E04: 2008 specifies that the mass of composite specimen after 30-minute immersion is 2-2.5 times of the original mass of composite specimen through an appropriate method, while ISO 105 – E04: 2013 and ISO 105 – E04: 1994 requires nothing but just to gently scrape the excess sweat from the composite specimen.


1.3 Ways of Placing Perspiration Rack into the Oven

Through the experiment comparison, ways of placing perspiration rack into the oven affect the test result a little at the same testing condition. Therefore, ISO 105 E04: 2013 allows for two ways of placement.


2 Comparison of ISO 105 E04: 2013, AATCC 15: 2009 and JIS L0848

It can be seen that differences exist between three kinds of standard for color fastness to perspiration, meanwhile, common point also exits.


2.1 Three kinds of principle of standard test are basically the same through comparison. Through a comparison of technical parameters, they have similarities and great differences as well.


2.2 The tests show that the preparation of man-made perspiration affects test results much. AATCC 15-2009 standard is very strict with preparation of perspiration. If pH is not in the range of 4.3±0.2, perspiration needs preparing anew. While man-made perspiration of ISO 105-E04: 2013 standard needs adjusting with 0.1mol/L NaOH in preparation. JIS l0848 standard offers a practical suggestion: add 15mL 0.1mol/L NaOH to acid liquor, so that pH of acid perspiration is 5.5; add 25mL 0.1mol/L NaOH to alkali liquor, so that pH of alkali perspiration is 8.0.


2.3 Through an army of tests, it is found that ways of composite specimen controlling its pick up ratio after immersion affect test results much during the process of test. In order to make test results more referential, experimenters should conduct a lot of tests, so as to make pick up ratio of composite specimen after immersion not only in accordance with standard requirements but make its surface with liquid well-distributed.


2.4 Perspirometer and procedure: the main equipment to be used is perspirometer tester and drying oven. In addition to the requirements of heavy hammer, other equipment can basically be used.

How to choose a five-star hotel mattress suitable for healthy sleep?

When working outside on a business trip, the hotel is our homestay and residence, so how much do you know about the mattress es used in the hotel? How to choose a five-star hotel mattress suitable for healthy sleep? How to choose a five-star hotel mattress ? The hotel will set up different types of rooms according to different needs and uses of guests. The room classification standards of hotels in different regions, different levels, different types, and different brands are not uniform. There are single rooms, standard rooms, double rooms, suite rooms, apartment rooms, and presidential suites. In addition, some characteristic hotels have characteristic rooms. There are two ways to choose a hotel room mattress :  First, look at the elasticity of the mattress. In order to identify whether the mattress has good elasticity, you can use your knee to test the bed surface, or sit down in the corner of the bed and try to see if the compressed mattress will quickly return to its original shap

What Is Color Matching Booth?

What is color matching booth? Color Matching Booth is used to assess color difference under different light sources. Light booth for color matching is widely used in textiles, toys, dyeing, plastics, paints, inks, printing, pigments, chemicals, footwear, leather, cosmetics, etc. and other color industries for goods color deviation. Gester is Colour Matching Cabinet Manufacturer and supplies it in affordable price. Gester colour matching cabinet meets standard of ASTM D1729, ISO 3664 and etc. Find more color fastness tester here to complete your test! Principle: Different color would appear on test samples due to the different energy radiant of different light sources. Usually, colour matching cabinet would have TL84 light source, D65, UV, F/A, CWF, U30. More light sources like D50, U35, TL83 and etc are available. Operator may assess the color difference by switching the light sources. What lighting is best for color matching? The best "true daylight, color balanced" fluor
