Additional information

GyroWash is James Heal’s Colour Fastness Tester. Colour Fastness testing is measuring the ability that fabrics have to retain the dyes that are used to colour them when washed or dry cleaned. GyroWash tests the colour fastness for textiles and leather. Depending on the fabric used, dye could be held extremely well within the fibres, however, some fabrics do not and tend to “bleed” when washed. The colour fastness of fabrics is measured on a GyroWash by the change in any of the colour characteristics after washing or dry cleaning.

GyroWash can be tested above 60˚C and to ensure safety, James Heal have developed high washing temperature lids which contain the wash liquor without leakage. GyroWash has many key features, including:

  • Quick drain and fill with easy to reach fittingson the front of the instrument
  • A cool touch lid for safe access
  • A sealed, insulated bath and lid which results in lower energy usage
  • An in-built document pouch for storage of verification readings
  • Tool free, interchangeable vessels
