American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC) popular textile testing workshop will be offered January 11-12, 2006 at its Technical Center in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.
Some 25 AATCC procedures for evaluating colorfastness and physical properties will be demonstrated and discussed.
The colorfastness tests to be discussed include crocking, light, washing, and perspiration.
Tests for evaluating physical properties include dimensional change (home laundering and accelerated methods), skewness, soil release, water repellency and resistance, appearance retention and UV radiation blocked or transmitted by fabrics.
Emphasis will be placed on how to properly conduct and interpret the tests.
Registrants will be involved in hands-on participation.
Sessions will also be conducted on basic color theory and fiber identification.
Participants will be shown how to use the AATCC Gray Scales for Staining and Color Change, the AATCC Chromatic Transference Scale and Xenon Reference Fabric.
The workshop is an intensive overview of the majority of tests needed to operate a textile laboratory.
It is designed for those responsible for product evaluation, specifications, and quality control of fibers, yarns, fabrics, garments, and carpets.
The registration fee for this workshop is $950 ($640 for individual and corporate AATCC members) and includes luncheons, breaks, and a copy of the AATCC Technical Manual.
