Color Fastness to Perspiration Related Questions


 

What are the types of fastness?

Color fastness, refers to the resistance of textile color to various effects during processing and use. The color fastness test of textiles is a routine item in the intrinsic quality test of textiles. Generally, the color fastness grade is evaluated according to the discoloration of the sample and the stain of the undyed lining fabric. Color fastness is an important test item for the quality of textile and garment products. According to the different application environment of textile and apparel fabrics in the actual production and application process, the color fastness of textile and apparel fabrics have different requirements.
With the improvement of people’s living standards, textile and clothing should not only meet people’s needs for heat preservation, but also meet people’s needs for functional and personalized. Colorful and colorful textile clothing to meet people’s needs for individuality, but also to meet people’s special need for beauty. Although the changing color of clothing increases the variety of clothing styles to a certain extent, it also brings certain difficulties to the quality control of clothing products. How to reduce the dye in storage, washing, maintenance of the color dip, fading and other conditions, is the garment production enterprises must face the quality problem. In order to standardize the quality of textile and garment products produced and sold, the national standards have made clear requirements on the color fastness of textile and garment.
There are dozens of kinds of color fastness. Common color fastness include color fastness to friction, soap, sweat stains, water, saliva, light, light and sweat, etc., which are selected and evaluated mainly according to the use of the final product. Among them, color fastness to dry friction, color fastness to water, color fastness to sweat stains and color fastness to saliva (only for baby products) are the items required by the basic safety technical specifications of textiles.

What is perspiration fastness?

There are millions of active sweat glands on the human skin. The forehead, armpits, front chest, back and palms sweat more. Therefore, summer often wear such as shirts, T-shirts and other clothes will appear in these parts of the serious fading phenomenon.
As we all know, the composition of human sweat is complex, among which the main component is salt, different from person to person, sweat has acid, also has alkaline. Short contact between textile and sweat may have little effect on its color fastness, but long time close to the skin and sweat contact, will have a greater impact on some dyes. Clothing with unqualified dyeing fastness is easy to transfer dyes from textiles to human skin through sweat, and dye molecules and heavy metal ions may be absorbed by human body through the skin and harm health.
The color fastness to perspiration refers to the degree of color change caused by the colored fabric soaked in acid or alkaline solution and a variety of fiber cloth for a certain time, and then treated under certain conditions, and the degree of color stain caused by a variety of fiber cloth.

How to use a Perspirometer?

Put the composite specimen between the plastic boards at first, and then put it between the base frame and spring pressure rack. Put the hammer that the test standard required on the spring pressure board, at last tighten the seat screw, and put them all into the constant temperature oven (Color Fastness to Perspiration Oven).
The specific operations refer to the test standards ISO 105-E01/E02/E04-1994, AATCC 15/106/107-2002 etc.

How can l improve my color fastness to perspiration?

The main way to improve the color fastness to sweat of fabrics is to choose dyes reasonably, especially dyes with high color fixation rate and good stability. Reasonable formulation and control of dyeing process, strengthening of color fixation conditions and forming stable covalent bonds can make dyes fully fixed. For example, when the reactivity is poor, the catalyst can be selected, or the appropriate color fixing agent can be selected, or the color fixing can be adopted at a higher temperature.

Twist Test Methods and Influencing Factors

Image
  Twist test is an important part of yarn inspection. It is related to the strength, elongation, appearance, style, etc. of yarns and fabrics. Different yarns have different structural characteristics, and their twist testing methods are also different. Basic concept To understand twist testing, you must first understand what twisting is. Twisting is a necessary condition for yarn formation. Short fibers can be made into yarns with certain physical and mechanical properties through twisting; filaments often need to be twisted in order to increase the tightness between single filaments, facilitate processing, and improve fabric properties. Number of twists Twisting is to cause two cross-sections of parallel straight fiber slivers to rotate relative to each other. The number of relative rotations of the two cross-sections is called the number of twists. Twist Twist refers to the number of twists per unit length of yarn . Twist coefficient In actual production, the twist coefficient is of

Combing Process in Spinning

Image
Before processing cotton, wool, and silk fibers into fabrics, the process of removing impurities and short fibers in the fibers with a combing machine is called combing. The texture, washability and durability of the fabric produced through this process are greatly improved compared with carded fabrics. The following introduces the composition of the combing machine and the combing process. The kinematic coordination relationship of the main parts on the combing machine is indicated by a dial. The disc is mounted on the combing machine and rotates synchronously with the cylinder, which is generally called the indexing disc. The index plate is divided into 40 equal parts along the circumference, and each equal part is 9°, which becomes one index. The working cycle refers to the time interval between the combing cylinder of the intermittent combing machine corresponding to the two actions of combing the whiskers. That is: the first row of needles in the combing cylinder goes to the botto

Garment dyeing is a relatively special dyeing process for textiles and garments. Many people may not know much about this dyeing process. In the impression of most people, textile and clothing products are dyed in the fabric period, and garment dyeing is a dyeing process that breaks people’s cognitive limitations on textile dyeing. ​What is garment dyeing ​Garment dyeing means that dyeing the one not in the fabric type but in the garment type itself. The garment type mentioned above include socks, towels, sportswear, shirts, plush toys (without fillers), T-shirts, pants, bathrobes, handkerchiefs, bath mats, carpets, scarves, etc. The material of these garments can be wool, linen, silk and cotton of natural fibers. But most garments are made of cotton or a cotton-rich blends. Garment dyeing imparts vibrant colors to garments. The clothes such as denim garments, tops, sportswear and casual clothing with garment dyeing can provide a distinctive special effect. Garment dyeing method Garmen
