V. Applications

1. Textile Manufacturing: Testing dyed fabrics for consumer goods
2. Quality Control: Batch inspection of apparel and home textiles
3. R&D: Developing fade-resistant dyes and finishes
4. Forensic Analysis: Evaluating wear-induced color degradation

Standard Operation Workflow:

1. Sample Preparation: Cut to size, clamp in test frame
2. Parameter Setup: Select cycle count and rubbing force
3. Testing: Initiate automated rubbing cycles
4. Analysis: Measure color transfer via spectrophotometer
5. Cleaning: Automated pad decontamination

Safety Precautions:

• Avoid contact with moving parts during operation
• Use heat-resistant gloves when handling samples
• Maintain ventilation in testing area
