Cometech QC-315 Perspiration Tester | Color Fastness to Perspiration (AATCC 15 / ISO 105)
- Perspiration tester for evaluating color fastness of colored textiles after soaking in solution and applying a fixed compressive pressure.
- Test setup uses a stitched composite specimen (test fabric with multi-fiber fabric, or two single fabrics), then soaking in solution.
- Applies 12.5 kPa clamping pressure, then conditions in an oven at 37.5°C for 4 hours before grading staining/tainting.
- Practical solution for routine QC of dyed textiles and coated/treated fabrics.

Overview
Cometech QC-315 Perspiration Tester is used to determine the fastness of colored textiles after soaking in solution and holding the specimen under pressure at controlled temperature for a defined period. The method uses a composite specimen (test textile stitched with one multi-fiber fabric, or two single fabrics), soaked in solution, then clamped under pressure and placed in an oven. After conditioning, the multi-fiber fabric is removed and the staining/tainting is graded using the appropriate evaluation scale.
Technical Specifications
Standards
- AATCC 15
- ISO 105
- JIS 0848
- GB/T 5713
Test workflow (typical)
- Prepare a composite specimen by stitching the test textile with one piece of multi-fiber fabric (or two pieces of single fabric).
- Soak the specimen in the test solution.
- Clamp the soaked specimen under 12.5 kPa pressure.
- Place the clamped specimen into an oven at 37.5°C.
- After 4 hours, remove the multi-fiber fabric and evaluate staining/tainting using the grading method required by your standard.
