Abstract

Dyed textiles are, in general, less resistant to colour change when weathered than when exposed behind glass to daylight. No standard method exists for the assessment of weathering fastness. An outdoor weathering test and a wet fading lamp test are described, and their merits and deficiencies discussed. The method of assessment allows direct comparison between the weathering (or wet‐fading‐lamp) fastness of a pattern and the light fastness according to B.S. 1006. These methods have yielded useful results in practice, and this paper records some work carried out to date.
