AATCC 182 Test Method for Relative Color Strength of Dyes in Solution

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of the AATCC 182 test. This standard provides a test method for determining the color strength of a dye sample relative to a reference dye by spectrophotometric transmittance measurements on solutions of each. It is a comparison of the color strength of dyes in a chosen solvent that correspond or do not correspond to the strengths when applied to a textile substrate.

For it to be valid as a measurement of the relative color strength of a dye for a particular textile end use, additional testing must be performed to demonstrate that the relative strength in solution is equal to the relative strength when applied to the textile substrate.

The test is frequently used by paint manufacturers and users due to its speed, repeatability and reproducibility.

AATCC test methods, such as AATCC 182, provide standardized procedures to ensure consistency and accuracy in textile testing. These methods are widely recognized and used in the textile industry to evaluate various properties of textiles, including color fastness, dye concentration and more.
