Once a test cycle with GenCrock is complete, results are analyzed according to the AATCC Test Method 8 guidelines to determine the degree of color transfer. This test evaluates dye durability by grading the color transfer onto the test cloth on a scale from 1 to 5.

Grade 5 indicates no color transfer, suggesting excellent dye durability, while Grade 1 represents a high level of color transfer, indicating potential colorfastness issues. This grading scale allows manufacturers to objectively assess dye or pigment performance under simulated real-world conditions, where materials may be subjected to friction and wear.

GenCrock’s ability to provide clear, consistent grading based on AATCC Test Method 8 is essential for quality control. Manufacturers rely on this data to verify that their fabrics and leathers will retain their appearance and color integrity over time, meeting industry and consumer expectations for durability.
