Exercise No: AIM Appartus: Chemicals: Equipment

This document summarizes a procedure to assess the color fastness to washing of dyed textile samples. Specimens are stitched between adjacent fabrics and washed using one of five ISO methods involving varying amounts of soap, soda ash, wash time and temperature. After washing, specimens are dried and the color change and staining are evaluated using a gray scale and rated from 1 to 5. The procedure is then performed on samples dyed with different dye types like direct, reactive, vat, sulfur and acid dyes to assess their color fastness to washing.

AIM : To Assess the colour fastness to washing of given dyed samples.


APPARTUS : Measuring Cylinder, Pipette, Glass Beaker, Glass rod, Dye-pot, Gray scale etc.
CHEMICALS: Soda-ash, Non-ionic detergent (N.I.D)
EQUIPMENT: Launder-o-meter or Water heating bath, Electronic balance

 Colour fastness is the ability of fabrics to retain the dyes used to colour them. The resistance of a
material to change in any of its colour characteristics, when subjected to washing is called colour
fastness to washing.

1. Purpose & Scope:


This test method is used to determine the colour fastness to textile to washing.

2. Principle:
A specimen of the textile to be tested, with the adjacent fabric attached is subjected to washing under
specified conditions. To extent of any change in colour and that of the staining of the adjacent fabric
are assessed using grey scales and the rating is expressed in fastness numbers from 1 to 5.
There are two types of adjacent fabrics; single fibre fabric and multiple fibre fabric. In the case of
multifibre fabric only one specimen is required and in the single fiber fabric two adjacent fabric are
required.

3. Test Specimen:
A 10 x 4 cm swatch of the coloured fabric is taken and is sandwiched between two adjacent fabric of
same size and stitched.

4. Procedure:
The coloured fabric and adjacent fabric are washed together by any one of the following washing
methods. The material to liquor ratio is 1:50.

No Soap (gpl) Soda ash (gpl) (min) Washing (°C) Balls
:
1. IS:687:79 5 - 30 40±2 -
2. IS:3361:79 5 - 45 50±2 -
3. IS:764:79 5 2 30 60±2 -
4. IS:765:79 5 2 30 95±2 10
5. IS:3417:79 5 2 240 95±2 10

After soaping treatment, remove the specimen, rinse twice in cold water and then in running cold
water under a tap. Squeeze it and air dry at a temperature not exceeding 60°C. The change in colour
and staining is evaluated with the help of gray scales.

5. Evaluation:
Rate the effect on the colour of the test specimens by reference to the Gray Scale for Colour Change

Grade 5 Negligible or no change as shown in Gray Scale Step 5.


Grade 4.5 Change in colour equivalent to Gray Scale Step 4-5.
Grade 4 Change in colour equivalent to Gray Scale Step 4.
Grade 3.5 Change in colour equivalent to Gray Scale Step 3-4.
Grade 3 Change in colour equivalent to Gray Scale Step 3.
Grade 2.5 Change in colour equivalent to Gray Scale Step 2-3.
Grade 2 Change in colour equivalent to Gray Scale Step 2.
Grade 1.5 Change in colour equivalent to Gray Scale Step 1-2.
Grade 1 Change in colour equivalent to Gray Scale Step 1.
