Description : The Xenotester Light Fastness Testing Machine is used to evaluate the colour fastness of textile materials when exposed to artificial light under controlled laboratory conditions. The machine simulates the effects of sunlight using a xenon arc lamp and provides controlled exposure conditions to assess the resistance of textile materials to colour fading or change. It is suitable for testing dyed, printed, and finished textile fabrics in accordance with applicable test methods and standards. The equipment is used to assess the light fastness of textile materials by comparing the exposed specimens with unexposed specimens or standard blue wool reference materials, as specified in the relevant test method.
