Acrylic & Wool

Multifiber Fabric #10 is a multifiber fabric with approximately 8 mm (0.33 inch) filling stripes of 6 fibers, acetate, bleached cotton, nylon, polyester, acrylic, and worsted wool yarns, woven on a warp of filament polyester. 

Available as 2″x4″ precut pieces, Multifiber Fabric #10 with heat sealed edges can be used in dynamic AATCC colorfastness tests that involve agitation and movement of the test pieces. Heat Sealed multifiber fabrics have a melted or fused edge, which reduces fraying and increases stability in the multifiber fabric test fabric.

In AATCC colorfastness testing, heat sealed multifiber fabrics are used primarily to evaluate potential staining of a dyed or printed test sample on other textiles in wash tests where the test material experiences agitation and movement during the testing process. Multifiber fabrics with heat sealed edges should not be used in stationary tests because the raised melted edge can cause uneven staining between the multifiber fabric and test specimen, and results cannot be guaranteed.
