AATCC 107 Colorfastness to Water (Carpet & Textiles)
Floor Detective® Laboratory Testing Reference
Summary
AATCC 107 Colorfastness to Water evaluates the resistance of textile dyes to color change and color transfer when exposed to water under controlled laboratory conditions. The procedure measures both color change within the tested material and staining of an adjacent multifiber fabric following prolonged moisture exposure. Results provide comparative information regarding dye stability and the potential for dye migration when moisture is present. The test may assist in evaluating complaints involving color bleeding, discoloration, staining, or dye transfer but does not independently establish manufacturing defect, flooding, cleaning error, warranty responsibility, or actual field performance.
