UK SDC Testing Accessories

Introduzione al prodotto:

UK SDC Testing Accessories refers to the standardized materials, consumables, and auxiliary equipment specifically developed and supplied by or associated with the Society of Dyers and Colourists (SDC) in the United Kingdom for use in textile testing. These accessories are essential for laboratories performing textile colorfastness, appearance, and physical tests, particularly those following ISO standards, which are often developed in collaboration with or adopted by the SDC.

Using SDC Testing Accessories is crucial for ensuring the consistency, accuracy, and reproducibility of test results, allowing for reliable evaluation and comparison of textile properties according to international standards. These materials are manufactured under strict quality control to provide consistent performance from batch to batch.

Examples of common UK SDC Testing Accessories include:

SDC Standard Adjacent Fabrics: These are undyed fabrics, often made from single fibers (e.g., cotton, wool, polyester) or as multifiber fabrics containing strips of different fiber types. They are specified in colorfastness tests to assess staining or color transfer from the tested specimen onto other materials. SDC adjacent fabrics often correspond directly to ISO standards (e.g., ISO 105 Series).

SDC Grey Scales: Standardized visual scales used for assessing changes in color (Grey Scale for Colour Change, corresponding to ISO 105-A02) and the degree of staining (Grey Scale for Staining, corresponding to ISO 105-A03) after colorfastness tests. These scales provide a standardized reference for visual grading.

SDC Blue Wool Scales: Standardized textile specimens dyed with blue dyes of increasing lightfastness. Used in lightfastness tests (e.g., ISO 105-B01. ISO 105-B02) as reference standards to compare the fading of the test specimen to materials with known resistance to light.

SDC Standard Reference Detergents and Soaps: Specifically formulated detergents and soaps, often available in phosphate and non-phosphate versions and sometimes with or without fluorescent brightening agents. These are used in standardized washing and laundering colorfastness tests (e.g., ISO 105 C Series, ISO 6330).

Other Auxiliary Materials: This can include items like standard ballast loads (makeweights) for washing tests, specific abrasive materials for pilling or abrasion tests, stainless steel balls for laundering tests, and other specialized materials required by specific SDC or ISO test methods.

The use of these standardized accessories, alongside calibrated testing equipment and strict adherence to test procedures, is fundamental to achieving reliable and comparable textile testing results that meet international quality standards.
