Multifiber #10A (DW): 5 X 10 HSE, Box of 250 pieces
$50.25 / box
Multifiber Fabric #10A (DW), a filling stripe multifiber fabric with approximately 15 mm (0.6 inch) filling stripes of 6 fibers, acetate, bleached cotton, nylon (polyamide), polyester, acrylic, and worsted wool yarns, woven on a warp of filament polyester. Available as 5cm x 10cm precut pieces with heat sealed edges, MFF 10A-5HSE can be used in dynamic AATCC and ISO 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 and ISO 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.
Description
Testfabrics’ Multifiber Fabrics have been produced since 1940 in the USA under strictly regulated production guidelines. Quality control is at each step of the manufacturing process. All raw materials are tested and approved before the multifiber fabric is woven, ensuring that performance standards are met with each new batch, and that they remain consistent over time. All production lots of finished multifiber fabric are tested and approved according to standard quality and performance benchmarks outlined in house and by the textile industry. Production is also monitored, tested, and approved by an independent ISO certified laboratory. All multifiber fabric orders include a certificate of conformity, detailed test report, and other related documentation.

In dye affinity testing, each multifiber fabric swatch is dyed with a different dye or under different conditions. The resulting colors of corresponding bands can be compared to determine the best dye recipe for a particular application. For fiber or dye identification, multifiber fabrics provide a reference material. If an unknown textile sample and a multifiber fabric band are dyed to the same hue and depth under the same conditions, the unknown textile is likely composed of the same fiber type as the multifiber fabric band. An unknown dye may also be identified, in general, by comparison with known dyeings of multifiber fabric. |
| Detergent / Surfactant | Multifiber fabric has been used as an adjacent fabric on soil test cloth fabric monitors and can be used to measure different things like detergency proficiency, colorfastness, soil redeposition, and other stain testing in laundry scenarios. |
| Hospitality | Test material for colorfastness, of drapes, wall hangings, rugs, furniture fabrics and upholstery |
| Art, Fashion, and Design |
Substrate for testing dyes, but also a fabric for apparel and design with endless possibilities and stripe patterns based on dye uptake. Used by artists and surface designers to keep track of dyes and dye recipes. Multifiber fabric is a test material, but that does not limit it’s use as an apparel fabric. It should be noted to the user that the fabric is fragile and will fall apart unless proper care is taken. |
| Theater | Used in costume shops to keep track of dyes and dye recipes. Apparel fabric, costume fabric with unique stripe patterns based on dye uptake. |
| Archival | Used in fiber identification. Used in dye color matching. Used to keep track of dyes and dye recipes and for dye reference libraries. |
| Education | Used in basic chemistry classes and experiments to showcase different fibers, dye classes, and their interaction. MFF also has many uses as a forensics and fiber identification teaching tool used in high schools, science clubs, and summer camps. |
