DIFFERENT TYPES OF COLOUR FASTNESS TEST | FACTORS AFFECTING COLOUR FASTNESS
COLOUR FASTNESS:
Colour fastness is the resistance of the material to its change in its colour properties, to transfer its colourants to the other material. Besides, colour fastness is one of the important factors in case of buyers demand. The outstandingly important property of a dyed material is the fastness of the shade of colour. Colourfastness refers to the resistance of colour to fade or bleed of a dyed or printed textile materials to various types of influences e.g. water, light, rubbing, washing, perspiration etc. to which they are normally exposed in textile manufacturing and in daily use.
