Features
Built to endure
Stainless steel frame, which takes a number of acrylic or glass separator plates
Valid test results
Evaluation is performed using a grey scale for assessing staining. Yellowing of the control fabric confirms the validity of the test
Standards compliant
Two alternative loading weights make up the pressure to a value, which conforms to the different requirements of ISO and AATCC colour fastness standards
Variety & flexibility
Two sizes of fan-assisted incubators: 30 litres and 60 litres. Both models promote uniform temperature distribution in the heated chamber
