AATCC 30 Test III

Mildew and Rot Resistance of Textile Materials

Test Purpose
The purpose of this fungicidal test is to demonstrate effectiveness of a client’s product intended for use to control, prevent, or inhibit the growth of Aspergillus brasiliensis (formerly known as Aspergillus niger) on textile materials to comply with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and other regulatory agency requirements.

Test Summary
Textile materials are treated with the client’s test substance and allowed to dry. The material is then inoculated with Aspergillus brasiliensis and incubated at high humidity. After, incubation, the fabric is visually examined for the presence of test organisms.
