What Was Tested?
The report covers one parameter, tested to AATCC TM8-2016e(2022)e, which measures how much color rubs off a fabric onto a standard white cloth:
- Color fastness to crocking (dry and wet rub)
The sample passed both conditions, rating 4.5 dry and 4.0 wet against the buyer’s requirements of 4.0 and 3.5.
Why Is Color Fastness to Crocking Important for Mesh Knitted Fabric?
Mesh knitted fabric is widely used in dresses, where it rubs continuously against skin, bags, seats, and other clothing. Dark shades such as black show color transfer most easily.
A crocking test records how the fabric behaves under standard dry and wet rubbing. For buyers, the report is written evidence that the fabric holds its color in normal wear and care.
Does This Test Report Apply to All Naying Textile Fabrics?
No. This test report applies to the specific mesh knitted fabric sample identified in the report, including its style number, black shade, and 100% polyester composition.
Different fabrics and finishes behave differently in color fastness. Buyers should confirm the testing requirements for their own fabric and end use before bulk production.
If you have specific color fastness or testing requirements for your mesh knitted fabric, please share your target market, fabric specifications and testing standards with us. We can go through the appropriate test items before development or bulk production.
