The AATCC 9-Step Chromatic Transference Scale is an evaluation scale used to assess color loss, color transfer, and color staining in AATCC test methods.


The AATCC Gray Scale for Staining is designed to visually evaluate the degree of color staining from a tested textile to an adjacent material.
The scale consists of a series of gray chips arranged in numerical steps, each representing a visually perceptible difference in staining rating from 5 (no staining) to 1 (severe staining).


The AATCC Gray Scale for Color Change is designed to visually evaluate the changes in color of textiles resulting from colorfastness tests.
The scale consists of nine pairs of gray chips, which illustrate color differences and provide a corresponding fastness rating from 1 to 5, with 5 indicating excellent color retention and 1 indicating poor retention.
The AATCC gray scale measures color change. One half of each color chip pair is the same color as the untested specimen before colorfastness testing. The second half of the color chip ranges from the starting color (no loss of color) to white (loss of all color). The amount of contrast between the tested fabric and untested fabric is related to one of the pairs of gray color chips on the gray scale for color change.


The stainless steel balls are primarily used in color fastness to laundering textile test methods. The balls act as mechanical agitators inside closed laundrometer cannisters, and they simulate the tumbling, rubbing, and abrasion of a home washing machine. The steel balls represent the impact force caused by buttons and zippers in a normal home laundry load.


White Synthetic Rubber Balls (SBR) are 9-10mm in diameter (3/8”) and have a 70 durometer hardness. They are used in AATCC test method 61 part 1B. Test 1B is for evaluating textiles that are expected to undergo repeated hand launderings at cool temperatures. The white rubber balls helps to replicate 5 careful hand launderings at 80 (+/-5) degrees Fahrenheit. The synthetic rubber balls are recommended instead of the stainless steel balls because they provide gentler levels of mechanical abrasion and friction during the accelerated laundering test. They more accurately simulate the low friction abrasion used in mild laundry hand washing. Rigid stainless steel balls can be damaging to delicate textiles. Rubber balls cushion the impact while still tumbling and flexing the fabric.

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 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.


Natural Mulltifiber Fabric with eight fibers containing boiled off cotton, bleached cotton, mercerized cotton, unbleached linen, bleached linen, silk, viscose, and wool.


Multifiber Fabric #1 is a multifiber fabric with approximately 8 mm (0.33 inch) filling stripes of 6 fibers, acetate, bleached cotton, nylon, silk, viscose, and worsted wool yarns, woven on a warp of filament polyester. Available as 2″x2″ precut pieces, Multifiber Fabric #1 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.


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.
The 3/8” wide filling stripes of the six predominant apparel fibers, woven in a two inch repeat and with a ‘separator/cutting/ waste’ stripe between each of the two inch repeats of the six fiber stripes to allow for cutting of consistent test specimens.
