Textile Light and Heat Performance Tester

I. Product Overview

The Textile Light and Heat Performance Tester is a multi-functional instrument designed to evaluate textile durability under combined light and thermal stress. It quantifies colorfastness, tensile strength retention, and thermal shrinkage resistance using standardized protocols for apparel, upholstery, and industrial textiles.

• Type: Environmental simulation testing chamber
• Test Methods:
  • ISO 105-B06 (Lightfastness)
  • AATCC 133 (Thermal stability)
  • GB/T 8427 (Colorfastness to light)
• Key Metrics:
  • Color Change ΔE (CIELAB)
  • Tensile Strength Retention (%)
  • Thermal Shrinkage Rate (%)
• Sample Size: 100×100mm (adjustable clamping)

V. Applications

1. Quality Control: Batch testing of outdoor fabrics
2. R&D: Developing UV-resistant athletic wear
3. Forensic Analysis: Evaluating garment degradation
4. Education: Training on textile degradation mechanisms

Standard Operation Workflow:

1. Sample Preparation: Cut to size, clamp in rotating frame
2. Parameter Setup: Select light/heat duration (e.g., 72h@80°C)
