USES OF LABTEX PERSPIRATION TESTER

Labtex Perspiration Tester is mainly used in textile laboratories to evaluate the color fastness of fabrics and dyed textile products under the influence of human sweat (simulated). Specific uses:

- Test the fading (shade change) and staining (staining) of fabrics to acid and alkaline sweat.

- Evaluate the color performance with water, seawater, saliva, chlorine bleach and phenol causing yellowing.

- Applicable to all types of textile materials, including cotton, polyester, wool and blends, helping to ensure product quality before being put on the market.

- Complies with international standards such as AATCC 15 (perspiration), AATCC 107 (seawater), ISO 105 E01 (water), E02 (seawater) and E04 (perspiration).

The device is especially useful in the garment industry, helping manufacturers avoid problems with color fading due to perspiration, thereby improving product reliability.

LABTEX PERSPIRATION TESTER IS A COLOR FASTNESS TESTING DEVICE OF TEXTILE PRODUCTS TO SWEAT, MANUFACTURED BY LABTEX BRAND

DESCRIPTION :

- Durable design with 316L stainless steel frame that is resistant to corrosion, acid and alkali, ensuring long-term durability in the laboratory environment.

- Ability to test 20 samples simultaneously, supporting both ISO and AATCC methods thanks to acrylic plates of different thicknesses.

- Easy to use, with precision machined parts, helping to reduce operating errors and increase the reliability of results.

- Integrated standard accessories such as weights and soaking basins, expandable with optional accessories such as fabric scales, pH meters or grey scales.

LABTEX PERSPIRATION TESTER CONSTRUCTION

The device has a simple but sturdy structure, including the following main components:

- Main frame: Made of 316L stainless steel, measuring approximately 190 mm (length) x 90 mm (width) x 170 mm (height), weighing approximately 7 kg. This frame holds the acrylic plates and weights.

- Acrylic separator: 21 acrylic plates (3 mm thickness for AATCC standards and 1.5 mm for ISO/BS EN), used to press and separate 20 test samples.

- Weights: Made of stainless steel, total load approximately 5 kg (or 12.5 kPa pressure), including weights for acid and alkali, with handles for easy installation.

- Plastic basin: 20 basins for soaking samples before testing.

- Accessories: Plastic container, optional stainless steel rack or replacement parts.

This structure allows the device to operate in combination with a precision electric oven (not included in the basic equipment set).

TECHNICAL PROPERTIES OF LABTEX PERSPIRATION TESTER

The main technical properties of the device are designed to meet the requirements of precise testing:

- Materials: 316L stainless steel for frame and weights, high-grade acrylic for separator plate, chemical-resistant plastic for basin.

- Capacity: 20 simultaneous test specimens, standard sample size 100 mm x 40 mm.

- Load pressure: 5 kg (equivalent to 12.5 kPa) per sample, adjustable according to AATCC or ISO standards.

- Operating temperature: Combined with oven at 37 ± 2°C, test time 4 hours.

- Standards: ISO 105 E04, AATCC 15/106/107, BS EN ISO; high corrosion resistance, accuracy ±1% in pressure.

- Dimensions and weight: 190 x 90 x 170 mm, 7 kg; power supply for oven: 220V/50Hz (optional).

- Durability: Resistant to acid/alkaline environments, long life with periodic maintenance.

The device does not have a complex automation system but ensures highly repeatable results when used properly.
