Textile Light and Heat Performance Tester

 Product Overview

The Textile Light and Heat Performance Tester is a multi-functional instrument designed to evaluate textile durability under combined light and thermal stress. It quantifies colorfastness, tensile strength retention, and thermal shrinkage resistance using standardized protocols for apparel, upholstery, and industrial textiles.

Type: Environmental simulation testing chamber
