The fade-ometer test is used to determine what characteristic of textile materials?

  1. Durability under pressure

  2. Colorfastness under light exposure

  3. Resistance to tearing

  4. Fire resistance

The correct answer is: Colorfastness under light exposure

The fade-ometer test is specifically designed to assess the colorfastness of textile materials when exposed to light. This test simulates the effects of sunlight on fabrics by using controlled conditions to measure how much fading occurs over time. Colorfastness is crucial for interior designers and manufacturers as it impacts the longevity and appearance of textiles in various environments where light exposure is inevitable. By successfully passing the fade-ometer test, a fabric can be deemed suitable for applications where prolonged exposure to light is expected, ensuring that it maintains its intended color and aesthetic appeal for a longer duration.
