Ensuring Color Stability and Long-Term Fabric Quality
Colorfastness testing determines how well textile dyes resist fading, bleeding, or staining during use and care. Poor color durability affects appearance, brand reputation, and consumer satisfaction.
BQCIS performs standardized tests under controlled conditions to assess color stability against various physical and chemical stresses, ensuring conformity with ISO, AATCC, ASTM, and GB/T colorfastness standards.
Our laboratory simulates real-life conditions such as washing, perspiration, rubbing, light exposure, and chlorinated water to ensure dyed fabrics retain their intended color and finish through the product’s lifetime.
