Color Fastness ColoriMeter

Colorfastness color difference meters quantify color variations by measuring changes in sample colors before and after exposure to light, friction, and other tests. They are used in industries such as textiles and plastics to assess product color stability and ensure compliance with standards.
Selection
When selecting, consider matching the measurement aperture to the sample size, and ensure the instrument complies with industry testing standards. Check the repeatability of measurements and the stability of the instrument to ensure it adapts to the laboratory environment. Evaluate whether the software features meet data recording requirements.
