The FORD FLTM BI 113-07 standard, developed by Ford Motor Company (FORD), describes a test method for determining the resistance of finished surfaces to sweat staining.
In this test method, the closest synthetic liquid to real human sweat is used. Synthetic sweat consists of nineteen amino acids, the seven most abundant minerals, and the four most abundant metabolites. All concentrations closely match experimentally determined values for adult human sweat. Meeting all testing challenges, this formula is the most complete formulation available. This liquid is used to test bank cards, textiles, jewelry, leather, coatings, fingerprint recognition chemistry and many other things, including vehicle wraps.
Two different methods are followed in synthetic perspiration staining tests performed in advanced laboratories:
These test methods are based on the AATCC Test Method 15 and AATCC Test Method 125 standards published by the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC).
The AATCC Test Method 15 standard is the color fastness standard to sweat. It is used to determine the color fastness of a textile to perspiration. The pH of sweat affects the color of textiles, which is the primary performance component of high-visibility safety clothing and accessories.
The AATCC Test Method 125 standard is the standard for color fastness to sweat and light. This test method is partially equivalent to the BS EN ISO 105-B07 standard.
Among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors, our organization also provides synthetic perspiration staining resistance test services within the scope of FORD FLTM BI 113-07 standard, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment.
