Vartest Laboratories Continues to Expand Services for Color Measurement

Vartest Laboratories continues to demonstrate excellence in the services provided to high technology markets, while maintaining an unsurpassed breadth of methods and capabilities to the textile apparel, home textile, and industrial markets (and military) sectors. We are continually improving our offerings through investment in the latest technology and the most competent staff.

Additions to the laboratory last year included:

  • Installation of a GreytagMacbeth Color Eye 7000A (dual beam sphere geometry) in February, 06.
  • Instrumentation dedicated to the measurement of chromaticity and fluorescence of many materials, using 0/45 geometry, and equipped for digital color data exchange with our clients. This spectrophotometer was placed in operation in July, 06.

The newest addition to the New York City laboratory brings color measurement capability for an even broader range of assessment than previously possible, with wavelengths extending into the NIR of 1050nm. With this expanded capability, Vartest can now provide highly specialized color measurement for applications related to development and production of fabrications dedicated to military and other specialized markets which require elevated performance parameters in unique spectral environments.

Vartest sets itself apart with in-house testing using a fully automated, large scale goniometric range for evaluation of high visibility trims, including all treatments required by ANSI 107, ANSI 207, EN 471, and CSA96. It is this dedication and continued investment that positions Vartest as the undisputed leader in color measurement with spectral data in .qtx format, high visibility assessment, and third party certification.

Vartest is an A2LA accredited and ISO 17025 certified laboratory providing a wide range of color measurement expertise, and a third party certification body for complete ANSI 107 high visibility safety and protective products and garments.

We look forward to meeting all of your company’s testing requirements and greatly appreciate the opportunity to do so.
