Moisture Control
Typical results for EcoWorx Tile and EcoWorx Performance Broadloom to the British Spill Test and the 10,000 Impact Test.
British Spill Test is a test with protocol but not a standardized test. It was developed several years ago by the West End Medical Association in Great Britain and has been since adopted by several U.S. manufacturers. Test Protocol: A swatch of carpet is placed face yarn upward. From a height of 1 metre, 100 millilitres of a blue dye solution is poured on the carpet. A blotting cloth under the carpet measures how much of the dye passes through the face and the backing of the carpet in a 24-hour time period. The piece of carpet is rated between 1 and 4 (1 - no transfer of dye through the sample; 2 - minimum discoloration, but hardly visible; 3 - very visible but light in colour; or 4 - very visible and deep in colour).
Moisture Penetration under Dynamic Crush Test (or sometimes listed as 10,000 impact test) is a test with protocol but also not a standardized test. Test Protocol: A swatch of carpet is placed under a dynamic crush apparatus that strikes the carpet at 10.0 pounds per square inch. A small amount of red dye solution is poured onto the surface with a filter paper under the back of the carpet. At the conclusion of the required cycles (usually 10,000), the filter paper is graded in this manner: 1 no transfer of dye through the sample; 2 minimum discoloration, but hardly visible; 3 very visible but light in colour; or 4 very visible and deep in colour.
