Analysis of the principle of yellowing of spandex fabric
Spandex is a fiber commonly used in our lives. The most prominent feature is good elasticity, and it has the advantages of low denier, large elastic modulus (elongation at break up to 400%-800%) and small specific gravity. Spandex is a commonly used fiber in our lives. The most prominent feature is good elasticity, and it has the advantages of low denier, large elastic modulus (elongation at break up to 400%-800%), and small specific gravity. Spandex can be blended with wool, cotton, polyester, acrylic, viscose and other textile fibers. The fabric made is soft, elastic and comfortable to wear. It is widely used in fitness clothes, swimwear, jeans, tights, underwear, and one-piece Among clothing and intimate underwear, because women have higher requirements for close-fitting, spandex fabrics are more popular among women. Since the spandex molecular chain contains a large number of reactive groups such as amino groups, it is easy to turn yellow during high-temperature setting or storage, which affects the quality of finished products, especially fluorescent whitening fabrics and light-colored fabrics. In order to improve the spinning performance of spandex, silicone oil lubricants and other additives are used in the weaving process. These additives will naturally degrade over time and cause the fiber to turn yellow. In addition, spandex itself is not easy to color, that is, conventional dyes cannot make spandex color. Therefore, after the fabric is dyed, the so-called yellowing phenomenon will also occur if the reduction and cleaning are not sufficient. The best-selling black spandex filament---solution coloring technology: black spandex is a widely used variety in clothing fabrics. In recent years, the domestic black spandex filament production capacity has been continuously expanded and the product performance has been continuously improved. The black spandex filament spun directly through special processes such as dope coloring or online addition, not only has a more uniform and long-lasting black effect, higher color fastness and excellent washing resistance, but also eliminates the dyeing process of the fiber and reduces Energy consumption in the dyeing process reduces environmental pollution.
Cut resistance is one of the most critical performance indicators in personal protective equipment (PPE) testing, directly affecting worker safety in high-risk industries such as metal processing, machinery manufacturing, and emergency rescue. The TDM Cut Test Machine GT-KC28 plays a vital role in accurately evaluating the cut resistance of PPE products, including gloves, protective clothing, footwear materials, composite materials, rubber, and industrial textiles.
By adopting high-precision force control systems, intelligent data processing, and stable transmission technology, the GT-KC28 TDM Cut Tester can accurately measure the critical cutting force of materials and ensure excellent repeatability and comparability of test results. Its user-friendly touch-screen operation, comprehensive data storage, USB data export, and built-in thermal printer greatly improve laboratory efficiency and data traceability.
The TDM Cut Test Machine GT-KC28 fully complies with major international and national standards such as ISO 13997, EN 388, ASTM F2992/F2992M, ANSI/ISEA 105, and GB 24541-2022, making it a reliable solution for PPE manufacturers, third-party testing laboratories, and research institutions. Through precise and standardized cut resistance testing, the GT-KC28 helps reduce industrial cutting injuries, supports PPE certification across global markets, and ensures that protective equipment delivers reliable safety performance in real-world applications.
The Heat Contact Machine GT-C101 is a specialized testing instrument designed for evaluating the heat resistance and thermal protective performance of gloves, protective clothing, and other heat-resistant materials used in high-temperature environments. In industries such as smelting, casting, welding, and glass manufacturing, workers are frequently exposed to intense heat, making accurate testing of contact heat resistance essential for ensuring safety and compliance.
GT-C101 simulates real working conditions by measuring heat transfer delay and thermal transmission under instant contact with high-temperature surfaces. Fully compliant with EN 407, EN 702, and ISO 12127-1 standards, this machine provides precise, repeatable data for manufacturers, laboratories, and research institutions. With high-temperature capability up to 500°C, advanced calorimetry, digital monitoring, and adjustable contact speed, the Heat Contact Machine GT-C101 is an indispensable tool for developing and certifying next-generation PPE and heat-insulation materials.
