Color Fastness to Light measures the sun resistance of dyes and materials. The test method can be either sun exposure or sun exposure. The degree of fading of the sample after exposure to sunlight is compared with the standard color sample.
Under artificial conditions, speed up the simulation of various textiles, clothing, dyes, plastics, rubber, plastics, automotive interior parts, geosynthetics and other materials due to sun, rain, etc. are often exposed to natural climatic conditions temperature, humidity, alternating light and shade after the comprehensive action of its physical and chemical properties (also known as aging).

Factors affecting color fastness to lightEffect of dye concentration on color fastness to light:
The color fastness of cotton fabrics depends on the variety Per the lower the dye concentration, the worse the color fastness.
The influence of the pH value of the fabric on the light fastness:
PH value has a great influence on the color fastness sunfastness of cottonoil tissue. The color fastness of cotton fabrics close to neutral is best. The color fastness of cotton fabric is not good to acids or bases.
Effect of fabric moisture content on color fastness to light :
Moisture content has a major impact on the CoLor fastness of cotton fabric. The higher the moisture content, the poorer the color fastness. This is mainly because the greater the moisture content of cotton fabric, the greater the area of the dye particles that accumulate on the surface of the water, the lower the color fastness to light.
The influence of Lightfastness accelerators on sunfastness:
Sunfastness accelerators are effective in improving the sunfastness of cotton fabrics and should also be used in conjunction with other finishing processes. Therefore, when finishing cotton fabrics, the synergistic and reducing effects of sunfastness accelerators and other reagents should be taken into account.
We also analyzed the factors influencing color fastness to light from some other perspectives.
Which industries use the lightfastness test?
Application:
The YG611F air-cooled xenon arc tester is designed to simulate the light spectrum and amplify soil by a xenon arc lamp as the light source, complemented by temperature and humidity control and water spray conditions. Flat Xenon exposure systems for testing the long-term effects of light, heat and humidity on your products in the end-use environment. This kind of xenon-Tester is suitable for different types of materials, such as textiles, leather, plastic, rubber, painting, dyes, etc.

Key specification:
Application:
YG611M Air-Cooled Xenon Arc Tester is used to determine the color fastness and aging to light, weather resistance and composite color fastness to light perspiration of colored textiles, leather, plastics, etc. by adjusting various parameters such as irradiance, temperature, humidity and spray to simulate the natural state in the laboratory. You can control irradiance in real time, check and compensate irradiance, temperature and humidity automatically.
Feature:
10.4 inch color touchscreen display, Windows operating system, concise user interface, few setting operations and simple operation; Real-time graphic display, the operator can easily access the test process; Independent ControllingFor each sample to be tested, the test time of the samples is controlled separately. Set the time for each sample. When the set time has elapsed, the appropriate sample can be removed and testing of the remaining samples can continue. Automatic reminder when testing of each sample is finished via.
