Textile laboratory detergents
Textile laboratory detergents are specialized cleaning agents used in textile testing labs to ensure consistency, accuracy, and standardization during fabric testing processes. These detergents are often used for washing test samples before and after procedures like colorfastness, shrinkage, or performance evaluations.
Purpose in Textile Labs
To prepare fabric samples for testing (remove sizing, oils, dirt, etc.)
To standardize washing procedures as per international testing methods (like AATCC, ISO)
To simulate real-world laundry conditions for fabric performance evaluation
To compare detergents and fabrics under controlled conditions
Types of Textile Lab Detergents
| Type | Use |
|---|---|
| AATCC Standard Detergent (WOB) | Without optical brighteners — used for unbiased color testing |
| AATCC Standard Detergent (OB) | With optical brighteners — simulates commercial detergent conditions |
| ISO Reference Detergents | Conform to ISO test standards for fabric performance |
| Neutral Detergents | For delicate or untreated fabric samples |
| Biological Detergents | Contain enzymes; used for stain and performance tests |
Common Brands & Products
| Product Name | Description |
|---|---|
| 1993 AATCC Standard Reference Detergent – OB | With brightener; for simulated household washing tests |
| 1993 AATCC Standard Reference Detergent – WOB | Without brightener; for neutral testing environments |

Packaging
Usually available in small lab packs (1–5 kg or L)
Also sold in industrial sizes for bulk washing simulations
Important Notes
Always follow test method instructions (AATCC, ISO, etc.) for detergent type and concentration
Store detergents in a dry, cool place away from contamination
Use deionized water when required for preparing solutions
