AATCC 30 standard has been developed by the American Textile Chemists and Colorists Association (AATCC) to explain antifungal evaluation properties and mold resistance test method in textile materials. The full name of this standard is as follows: AATCC 30 Antifungal activity, evaluation on textile materials: mold and rot resistance of textile materials.
This test method is designed to evaluate how sensitive fabric, gauze or similar textile materials are to mold and fungal growth and their effectiveness.
The AATCC 30 test method is divided into different test types, two of which are applied:
Mushroom aspergillus niger is used as microorganism during the test. This organism is grown in solid medium and a spore suspension is formed after the appropriate growth period. Depending on the difficulty of the test, an agar medium is prepared. The test sample is placed on the inoculated agar medium and the top is inoculated with spore suspension. Petri dishes are sealed to maintain moisture while incubating. The inoculated test sample is evaluated after 7 or 14 days and whether it is macroscopic or microscopic or whether there is growth.
The AATCC 30 test method is a test method that evaluates the antifungal capabilities of the test substance under very stringent conditions. This is a good indicator of antifungal activity compared to other relatively less rigid methods. The test substance comes in contact with a large number of sports for more effectiveness. It is a more accurate test than many other fungal methods and any growth inhibition shown in this test is due to the antimicrobial effect of the test substance.
Within the framework of laboratory testing services, AATCC 30 Antifungal evaluation and mold resistance testing services are also provided to our businesses.
