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″x2″ precut pieces, Multifiber Fabric #10 with overcast serged edges are heat sealed along the waste stripes and overcast stich serged along the filling stripes. This type of added edge finish prevents fraying and gives the multifiber test piece added stability. It can be used in rigorous colorfastness testing situations and is recommended for any tests that subject the multifiber fabric to increased agitation and movement.

In AATCC colorfastness testing, heat sealed and overcast serged 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.
