color migration Explanation: Because of the solvents, the fabric dye is picked up by other garments. Example: "Color migration test The next step of the test is to determine if color migration will be a problem. [...] If the light fabrics are stained, the dye has migrated and can cause serious permanent problems in your quilt." From: "From Fiber to Fabric: The Essential Guide to Quiltmaking Textiles" By Harriet Hargrave http://books.google.com/books?id=kpZfjDnfnx0C&pg=PA69&lpg=PA... ________________________ "Colorfastness to Solvent Spotting: Perchloroethylene 1. Purpose and Scope 1.1 This test method is designed to measure the degree of color migration that occurs when a fabric is spotted with a drycleaning solvent." http://www.aatcc.org/technical/test_methods/scopes/tm157.cfm |
