So, how to measure color fastness of a Textile Material?

Procedures of Fastness Measurement
A Specimen (Lab-dip) in contact with specified adjacent fabric or fabric is laundered, rinsed and dried. The specimen/composite sample is treated under appropriate condition in a chemical bath for short time. The abrasive action is accomplished by the use of a liquor ration and an appropriate number of steel balls. The change in color of the specimen (Dyed Sample) and the staining of the adjacent fabric is assessed by recommend Grey Scales (1-5).

Apparatus & Materials used for measuring Color Fastness of Textiles Materials:
1.Wash-wheel with a thermostatically controlled water bath and rating speed of 40+-2 rpm.
2.Stainless steel container.
3.Stainless steel ball.
4.SDC, Multifiber Fabric (Acetate/Cotton/Nylon/Polyester/Acrylic Fiber/Wool).
5.Thermometer,
6.Sewing Machine.
7.Dryer.
8.Color Matching Cabinet and
