Selection Guide for Light Fastness Tester
What is color fastness to light? As we all know, textiles are usually exposed to light during their use life, and light has the potential to destroy the dye, resulting in the effect of “fading,” which causes colored textiles to change color, usually light or dark. We call the degree of resistance to the fading effect of light as color fastness to light. The color fastness to light is a very important index in physical testing of textiles. And light fastness tester is the machine for the test. How to test the color fastness to light? The test method of color fastness to light is exposing a set of reference samples along with the specimens at the same time and under the same conditions; the color fastness to light is assessed by comparing the change in color of the test specimen with that of the reference materials used. Color fastness to light can also be divided into: sunlight (which can be exposed to several different colors of sunlight) and artificial light (xenon arc or carbon arc
