A comparative study of natural and xenotest exposure condition: for measuring, fading and degradation
article
The degradation of a series of synthetic‐fibre yarns was studied during a period of two years' exposure in the open. Yarns of the same type were exposed in the Xenotest under a variety of conditions and the fading of the SDC blue standards was similarly studied. Air temperature, black‐panel temperature, and humidity content were measured for natural and Xenotest exposure conditions, together with the fading of the moisture‐sensitive azoic red dyeing used by McLaren. The information obtained from different linos of approach led to a better formulation of standard conditions for artificial exposures, which are intended to reproduce the behaviour of textile materials under natural conditions.
