Product Description:

Qualtech Products Industry Crockmeter is an advanced Manual Crockmeter to instantly  determine the Color Fastness and the Color Staining of textiles and fabric samples subjected to Linear Dry Rubbing or Linear Wet Abrasion.

The Color Fastness Test is performed in the textile industry when dyeing fabrics and textiles. The Color Fastness indicates the resistance of colors to fade, to stain or to transfer from one fabric to another fabric by Linear Dry Rubbing or Linear Wet Rubbing. The Color Fastness is a direct indicator of the adhesive force of dye and the fiber of the fabric and is especially relevant in the clothing industry to determine the resistance of colors to washing, detergents, abrasion and light exposure in daily use of the clothing.

The Color Fastness Test is divided in three categories:

• Abrasion Fastness
• Wash Fastness
• Light Exposure Fastness

The Color Fastness Test evaluates three main objectives:

• Color Staining
• Color Transfer
• Color Fading
