Textiles - Tests for colour fastness - Part E10: Colour fastness to decatizing (ISO-E10:1994)

A specimen of the textile is wrapped around a perforated cylinder, and steam passed through it for 15 min. The change in colour of the dried specimen is assessed with the grey scale. Correct handling of the method is controlled by use of a test-control specimen tested under identical conditions. Two tests, mild and severe, are given.

Dieser Teil von ISO 105 beschreibt ein Prüfverfahren zur Bestimmung der Widerstandsfähigkeit der Farbe von Textilien jeder Art und in allen Verarbeitungßuständen gegen die Einwirkung von Dampf, wie er beim Dekatieren von Wollgeweben verwendet wird. Zwei verschiedene Prüfbedingungen, leicht und schwer, sind vorgesehen.

Overview

EN ISO 105-E10:1996 is an internationally recognized standard developed by CEN that specifies a precise testing method for evaluating the colour fastness of textiles to decatizing. Decatizing is a finishing process mainly applied to wool fabrics, where steam treatment is used to set the fabric’s texture and dimensions. This standard defines procedures for assessing how resistant textile colours are to the effects of steam during this process, providing crucial quality assurance for textile manufacturers, dyers, and quality controllers.

The test involves wrapping the textile specimen around a perforated cylinder inside a decatizing apparatus, exposing it to steam under controlled conditions, and evaluating any colour changes. Two severity levels of testing-mild and severe-are outlined to replicate different industrial processing exposures.

Key Topics

  • Purpose: Measures colour fastness during steam exposure as used in wool fabric decatizing.
  • Test Methodology:
    • Textile specimens (fabric, yarn, or loose fibres) are prepared and wrapped around a perforated metal cylinder.
    • The cylinder is placed in an autoclave, and saturated steam is passed through for 15 minutes.
    • Specimens are dried at controlled temperatures, and colour changes are assessed using the internationally accepted grey scale for colour change (ISO 105-A02).
  • Control Measures:
    • A test-control specimen dyed with Cl Mordant Brown 33 is tested under identical conditions to ensure test validity.
    • Acceptable colour change ratings for control specimens:
      • Mild decatizing: minimum 4Y rating
      • Severe decatizing: minimum 3Y rating
  • Test Conditions:
    • Mild test: Steam pressure at 147 kPa and temperature 111°C
    • Severe test: Steam pressure at 245 kPa and temperature 127°C
  • Specimen Preparation:
    • Fabrics: 40 mm x 100 mm samples
    • Yarn: knitted or layered between adjacent cotton fabrics to form test samples
    • Loose fibres: combed, compressed, and sandwiched between cotton fabrics
  • Apparatus Specifications:
    • Autoclave of approx. 20 litres capacity with safety and control features
    • Perforated cylinder 20 mm diameter and 160 mm height attached inside the autoclave
    • Pressure gauge, regulating valve, safety valve, thermometer, and cotton blanket cloth for specimen wrapping

Applications

  • Textile Manufacturing:
    Assures that coloured wool fabrics retain their colour integrity during industrial steam decatizing processes.
  • Quality Control:
    Enables manufacturers and suppliers to evaluate product performance against international colour fastness standards before shipment.
  • Research & Development:
    Used by textile R&D teams to optimize dye formulations, fabric treatments, and decatizing process parameters.
  • Compliance & Certification:
    Helps companies demonstrate conformity with quality standards demanded by global markets, reducing returns and enhancing reputation.

  • ISO 105 series: A comprehensive range of colour fastness tests addressing aspects such as washing, rubbing, light, and perspiration exposure

EN ISO 105-E10:1996 offers a standardized, reproducible method to assess colour fastness to decatizing steam treatment, vital for maintaining fabric quality in wool textile finishing. Utilizing this standard ensures reliable performance evaluation, consistent product quality, and adherence to international trade requirements in the textile industry.

ISO 105-E10:1994(E) Foreword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national Standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Esch member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. International Standard ISO 105-El0 was prepared by Technical Committee ISOnC 38, Textiles, Subcommittee SC 1, Tests for coloured textiles and coloran ts. This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 105-E10:1987), of which it constitutes a technical revision. ISO 105 was previously published in thirteen “Parts”, each designated by a letter (e.g. “Part A”), with publication dates between 1978 and 1985. Esch part contained a series of “sections”, each designated by the re- spective patt letter and by a two-digit serial number (e.g. “Section AO1 “1. These sections are now being republished as separate documents, them- selves designated “Parts” but retaining their earlier alphanumeric desig- nations. A complete list of these Parts is given in ISO 105-AO?. 0 ISO 1994 All rights reserved.
