The "Colour Fastness" app
Digital solution for textile quality assurance
Products brought onto the market by the textile and leather industry must meet high quality standards. Color fastness is an important criterion here. It ensures that a product retains its color and does not transfer dyes to adjacent materials, i.e. that nothing stains. If you want to check color fastness, you can either rely on your eye – with all its uncertainties – or use expensive high-tech.
Since 2022, a new digital solution with unbeatable benefits has complemented these two common methods: The color fastness app „Colour Fastness“ from Kuraray. With its support, the color fastness of leather, textiles or even other materials can be determined reliably, quickly and cost-effectively using an iPhone or iPad. Our Clarino division had originally come up with the idea of adding such a service to its own product range in conversations with customers. The innovative concept was convincing in an internal pitch and received funding for the final development and patent application.
