AATCC is organising a limited attendance ‘Introduction to Textile Testing Workshop’ from September 25-26 at the AATCC headquarters in Research Triangle Park, NC, US.

Attendees at the show, will learn how to properly perform and interpret test results for approximately 20 colourfastness and physical properties test methods and evaluation procedures.

Colourfastness tests to be addressed include crocking, light, washing, and perspiration. Tests for evaluating physical properties will include dimensional change, skewness, soil release, water repellency and resistance, and appearance retention. AATCC staff will discuss and demonstrate these procedures and registrants will be involved in hands-on participation, said AATCC in a media statement.

Sessions will be conducted on colour basics and measurement. Participants will be shown how to use the AATCC Gray Scales for staining and colour change and the AATCC Chromatic Transference Scale.
