EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of AATCC 22 testing. This standard is applicable to any textile fabric with or without a water-repellent finish.
It measures the resistance of fabrics to wetting with water. It is particularly suitable for measuring the water-repellent effectiveness of the finishes applied to fabrics. The results obtained with this test method depend on the wetting or water-repellent resistance of the fibers, yarns and finishes on the fabric, and the structure of the fabric.
AATCC has developed over two hundred textile-related standards, including test methods and evaluation procedures. These standards are published annually in the AATCC technical manual. These standards are designed and updated by volunteer members through research committees. In addition, all industry stakeholders can participate in the standard development process.
AATCC 22 Water repellency: The principle of the spray test is to evaluate the water spray pattern on the surface of a fabric sample under controlled conditions using a visual rating scale.
AATCC 22 Water repellency: spray test and AATCC 35 Water resistance: rain test standards are the two most widely used standards for determining the performance characteristics of textiles such as coats and jackets.
Water repellency, absorbency and resistance tests are generally based on standards developed by the AATCC. AATCC's focus on developing standardized testing methods derives from fabric qualities associated with fabric wet processing and finishing. AATCC does not develop performance standards for final textiles.
The contact of a fabric designed for raincoats or tents is judged on its ability to keep water out, among other properties. There is a relationship between water and textile materials that is necessary for their end use. Water repellency is a condition that is characterized by the non-spreading of water on a textile material. This is usually achieved with fabric treated with a substance such as oil, wax or rubber. A spray tester is an instrument that measures the waterproofness of a fabric.
