SDL Test Consumables

Introducción del producto:

SDL Test Consumables refers to the wide array of standardized materials, supplies, and accessories provided by SDL Atlas, a leading global manufacturer and supplier of textile testing instruments. These consumables are specifically designed and produced to meet the requirements of various international and retailer-specific textile test methods (including those from AATCC, ISO, ASTM, Marks & Spencer, NEXT, etc.). They are essential for laboratories using SDL Atlas equipment or performing textile tests according to these standards to ensure accuracy, consistency, and reproducibility of results.

SDL Atlas is known for being a single source for both testing instruments and the necessary consumables, ensuring seamless compatibility and reliable test performance. Their test consumables are subject to stringent quality control procedures to maintain uniformity and batch-to-batch consistency, which is critical for obtaining reliable data on textile properties and performance.

Examples of common SDL Test Consumables include:

Standard Adjacent Fabrics: Undyed fabrics, including multifiber fabrics containing strips of different fiber types, used in colorfastness tests to assess staining onto other materials. SDL Atlas supplies these fabrics to meet the specifications of various international standards.

Standard Reference Detergents and Soaps: Specifically formulated cleaning agents, available in different types (e.g., phosphate/non-phosphate, with/without optical brightener), required for standardized washing, laundering, and colorfastness tests according to relevant standards.

Abrasion and Pilling Consumables: Standardized abrasive fabrics (e.g., wool abradant fabric for Martindale testers, abrasive papers), felt discs, cork liners, rubber pads, and other materials specified for use in abrasion and pilling test methods.

Standard Reference Materials: This includes standardized visual scales such as Grey Scales (for assessing color change and staining) and Blue Wool Standards (for lightfastness testing), which are used as reference standards for visual grading according to ISO and AATCC methods.

Crocking Supplies: Standardized crocking cloth (rubbing fabric) and related materials used in colorfastness to rubbing (crocking) tests.

Other Specialized Consumables: Various other materials and accessories required by specific test methods, such as standard ballast loads (makeweights) for washing machines, specific foams, mounting materials, and reference samples for particular tests.

The consistent use of SDL Test Consumables is vital for laboratories seeking to perform textile tests accurately, reliably, and in compliance with international standards, thereby ensuring the quality and performance of textile products.
