For Testing of Product Colorfastness,
Corrosion, Discoloration
Human
perspiration comes in contact with a number of
consumer products. Contact can cause a variety
of undesirable effects. Dyes can bleed or
discolor, components can corrode and/or
malfunction, residues can be unsightly.
Manufacturers in the past have employed any of
various simple, adhoc recipes to approximate
human sweat for product testing. These sweat
mimics usually contain only four or five
solutes and must be prepared fresh daily due
to rapid fungal growth.
The
artificial Eccrine Sweat we offer is a
stabilized, ready to use solution. It consists
of the 19 amino acids, the seven most abundant
minerals and the four most abundant
metabolites. All concentrations closely match
experimentally determined values for adult
human Eccrine Sweat.
Store and Handling:
This solution is preserved with a stable fungicide
and bactericide for one year shelf life.
