AATCC 162-2002 Chlorine Water Color Fastness Test Requirements

1 Preparation
Washing Color Fastness Tester

1.2 Drying machine
1.3 Color gray scale
1.4 Home used sodium hypochlorite, active chlorine about 5%.
1.5 Anhydrous calcium chloride
1.6 Magnesium chloride hexahydrate
1.7 Control fiber 162
1.8 Sulfuric acid, 6N
1.9 Potassium iodide 12%
1.10 Starch, 1%
1.11 Sodium thiosulfate, 0.1 N
1.12 Distilled or deionized water
1.13 Sodium carbonate
1.14 Acetic acid

2 Reagents

2.1 Formulate solution of  chlorine 5ppm and salt 100ppm , and adjust the pH 7.0  with sodium carbonate or acetic acid to (21 ℃, that is 70 ℉).

3 Test samples

TEST sample is about 6x6cm. The total weight of the sample and control fiber should be 5.0 ± 0.25g. If it is not enough, add a variety of samples, and the samples of  different color can be mixed together to make the total weight of 5.0g.

4 Methods

4.1  Add 5000ml of distilled water and 0.5ml sodium hypochlorite into dry cleaning steel cup. Cover and rotate for 10mins and then pour it out. (If the steel cup is not used for two weeks or used for other tests)
4.2 Prepare hard water
4.2.1 Take 8.24g of anhydrous calcium chloride
4.2.2 take 5.07g of magnesium chloride hexahydrate
4.2.3 Add 800ml of distilled water,  and calcium chloride and magnesium chloride into the 1L volumetric flask , and stir to dissolve while adding water to 1L. This is the so-called hard water that can be placed for 30 days.
4.3 Dilute 51 ml of hard water with distilled water to 5100ml,and add 0.5ml of sodium hypochlorite (stored for no more than 60 days), titrating the adjusted chlorine content of 5ppm.
4.3.1 0.01N sodium thiosulfate is commercially available or diluted with 0.1N.
4.4 Adjust the pH of the solution with sodium carbonate or acetic acid.
4.5 Place the cup with 5000ml of solution in a water washing machine at a temperature of 21 ° C (70 ° F).
4.6 The sample and control fiber put into the steel cup, running 60min.
4.7 Remove the sample and roll to remove the excess solution. Rinse with distilled water and then squeeze, and place the sample on the bleached absorbent towel to dry under room temperature.

5 Color rating

5.1 Rate the control finer 162 with a gray scale. if the rating is less than 2 or 2-3 level, the test failed, if reached, then rate the color change of the sample.
5.2 Perform a color change rating with a gray scale on the sample. 1-5 level.

Tinuvin 1130: An Excellent UV Absorber

 In the field of the chemical industry, UV absorbers play a crucial role, particularly in protecting materials from UV damage. Today, we will delve into a highly regarded UV absorber—Tinuvin 1130. Tinuvin 1130 : chemical name: 3-(3-(2H-benzotriazole-2-yl)-4-hydroxy-5-tert-butyl phenyl)propionic acid polyethylene glycol 300 ester; CAS login number: 104810-48-2. This product is an exceptional UV absorber that offers numerous benefits due to its unique properties. One of the standout features of Tinuvin 1130 is its excellent weather resistance. It has a strong ability to absorb ultraviolet rays, particularly those with wavelengths ranging from 290-400nm. This effectively prevents coatings, plastics, rubber, and other materials from being damaged by UV rays, thereby maintaining the performance and appearance stability of these materials and extending their service life. In addition, Tinuvin 1130 exhibits good compatibility. It is easy to emulsify in water-based systems and can be...

Air-cooled Xenon Lamp Aging Tester

  The air-cooled xenon lamp aging tester is a device that uses an air-cooled system to dissipate heat and a xenon lamp to simulate ultraviolet light, visible light and infrared light in natural sunlight to perform accelerated aging tests on materials. It is commonly used in industries such as automobiles, coatings, plastics, rubber, and textiles. It can evaluate the aging resistance of materials under the combined effects of long-term light, temperature, humidity and other environmental factors in a relatively short period of time, helping companies improve product quality, extend service life, and optimize product anti-aging formulas and processes. Structural composition:  The main body is a test chamber, equipped with a xenon lamp and a matching optical filter system to simulate sunlight of different wavelengths, as well as temperature, humidity, lighting time and other control and adjustment devices, as well as an observation window and a sample rack. Working principle: The...

The Structure of Hexapod Tumble Tester

The Hexapod Tumbler Tester is a popular apparatus used in the evaluation of the appearance retention of carpets. Drum – constructed of Nylon or other like material and capped by a lid that is secured by a latching device. The drum and lid have a locating groove to hold the specimen backing sheet flat to the inner wall of the drum. A photograph of a typical drum is show in Photograph 1 and Photograph 2. The drum dimensions are:   Internal Diameter: 12 ± 0.18 in. (302 ± 5mm) Wall Thickness :0.3 in. approx. (8 mm approx.) Internal Depth: 8.2 ± 0.2 in. (207 ± 5 mm)  Driving System - cradles the drum on rollers and keeps the axis of the drum level, and rotates the drum at 35 ± 2 rpm (3.6 ± 0.2 rad/s). The driving direction reverses after approximately 500 revolutions.  After the 500 rotations the unit will stop and stand stationary for approximately 5 to 15 seconds, then begin rotating in the opposite direction. After 2000 rotations the unit will stop and w...
