AATCC unveils UV fabric colour reference solution
27/02/2013
The optically brightened reference fabric has been calibrated to a national standardising lab and is designed to give more accurate measurements than the non-textile UV calibration plaques usually supplied with a spectrophotometer, said the company.
It provides a target CIE-whiteness value that can be used to adjust spectrophotometers for measuring optically-brightened textiles, no matter which method an instrument uses to calibrate UV content. “The spectral data from optically-brightened textiles can be exchanged more accurately within the supply chain and digitally-based quality assessments will be more precise and easier to accomplish,” it said.
