ITEM 35A

Instrument used to determine color fastness to to acid and alkaline sweat (perspiration), colour fastness to water and seawater, colour fastness to migration into polymeric material and the phenolic yellowing test.

Complete with 1 weight of 5kg and 21 plexiglass/acrylic plates (115x60mm).

INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS: IUF 421 (ISO 11642), IUF 426 (ISO 11641), IUF 442 (ISO 15701), ISO 105 E01 – E02 – E03, ISO 105 E01 E04, ISO 105-X10, ISO 105-X18, BS 1006, AATCC 15, AATCC 106-107, etc. 

1.TEST OF PERSPIRATION
Control of the color fastness to the acid and alkaline sweat, according to IUF 426, ISO 11641, UNI EN ISO 105 E04, BS 1006, BS EN 20105, AATCC 15, IWS TM 175.

2. HYDROTEST
Control of colour fastness in water (chlorinated water, swimming pool water and seawater), according to IUF 421, ISO 11642, UNI EN ISO 105 E01, UNI EN ISO 105 E02, UNI EN ISO 105 E03, BS 1006, BS EN 20105, AATCC 106, AATCC 107, IWS TM6.

3. MIGRATION TEST
Testing colour migration from leather into Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) according to IUF 442, ISO 15701,  ISO 105 X10 and AATCC.

4. PHENOLIC YELLOWING TEST
Assessment of the potential to phenolic yellowing of materials according to ISO 105-X18 and AATCC.

After insertion of the specimens, the Perspirometer is transferred to an Incubator for a pre-determined period. Following INCUBATION, the Perspirometer is removed and specimens are graded using grey scales.

CONSUMABLES: set of plaxiglass or glass plates, multifibre DW 010, grey scale A02, grey scale A03, Acid or Alkaline solution/powder, white soft PVC for migration test 50 x 30, and  Phenolyc yellowing of materialsl kit for ISO 105 X18.
