Sublimation Fastness and Sublimation Fastness Tester

 

What is sublimation fastness?

Fastness to ironing（color fastness to hot pressing）

Fastness to ironing refers to the degree to which a dyed fabric changes color or fades when pressed.
The degree of discoloration is determined by the staining of other fabrics with the iron. Scorch fastness is graded from 1 to 5, with 5 being the best and 1 the worst.
When testing the scorch fastness of different fabrics, the test iron temperature should be selected.
Dry pressing
Dry specimen is pressed with a heating device at a specified temperature and pressure for a specified time.
Damp pressing
A dry specimen is covered with a wet cotton adjacent fabric and pressed with a heating device at a specified temperature and pressure for a specified time.
Wet pressing
The upper surface of a wet specimen is covered with a wet cotton adjacent fabric and pressed with a heating device at a specified temperature and pressure fora specified time.

Sublimation fastness（color fastness to dry heat）

Sublimation color fastness refers to the degree to which the sublimation of dyed fabric occurs in storage.
Sublimation fastness The degree of discoloration, fading and stain of white cloth after hot pressing treatment is evaluated by grey grading sample card, which is divided into 5 levels, with 1 being the worst and 5 being the best.
The dyeing fastness of normal fabrics is generally required to reach level 3 ~ 4 in order to meet the needs of wearing.
Principle
Specimen of the textile in contact with either one or two specified adjacent fabrics is heated by close contact with a medium which is heated to the required temperature. The change in colour of the specimen, and the staining of the adjacent fabric are assessed with the grey scales.
The influencing factors of sublimation fastness
It is related to the dye itself: low temperature dye is the worst and high temperature dye is the best.
Related to the heat treatment temperature of dyeing: the temperature of setting after baking should be mastered well. Too high or too low temperature will affect the fastness to sublimation.

Sublimation fastness tester

Application：
YG605 Series Scorch and Sublimation Fastness Tester is used to determine the color fastness to hot pressing and dry heat and to conduct sublimation tests. Providing controlled conditions of dry heat and pressure with top and bottom heated surfaces, electronic temperature controller and carefully controlled top plate weight.
Feature：
  • Equipped with MCU to control time and temperature, and over-temperature safety function to shut down the unit in case of over-heating.
  • High quality temperature sensor (PT100), more accurate to control temperature and more endurable.
  • Two separate heating coils for top or bottom hot plate can be individually operated under relative standards.
  • Temperature of 3 group heating blocks is separately controlled (For YG605-III).

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-Special Dyeing Method In Textile

Image
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
