Questions about colorfastness
Is a crockmeter used for washing fastness?
A crockmeter is associated with rubbing assessments. Washing assessments need a different workflow and suitable wash-fastness equipment. Choose the equipment around the exposure described in your required method.
Are test consumables included?
Consumables depend on the chosen method and quotation scope. Ask for an itemised list of included materials and the replenishment options before ordering.
Let the test method guide your choice.
Tell us the material, specimen type, required method and expected throughput. Equipment appearance and test compatibility must be confirmed for the quoted configuration.
