Description
Introduction
ISO Ballast Type 1 gives your laundering tests a consistent, standardized load. Textile labs use it to balance the wash load in ISO 6330 domestic washing and drying procedures. The ballast consists of 100% cotton fabric, so it behaves predictably in every cycle. Moreover, it helps your lab reproduce results from one test to the next. As a result, buyers, auditors, and brands trust your test reports. ASTZBD supplies this ballast to garment factories, washing plants, and testing laboratories across Bangladesh.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) ISO Ballast Type 1
What is ISO Ballast Type 1?
It is a 100% cotton fabric load. Labs add it to the wash machine to reach the required load weight.
Why do I need ballast in a laundering test?
Ballast balances the machine load. Consequently, every test runs under the same mechanical action.
Which standard uses ISO Ballast Type 1?
ISO 6330 describes domestic washing and drying procedures for textile testing. Check your edition and test method for the exact ballast type.
How does Type 1 differ from other ballast types?
Type 1 uses 100% cotton, while other types use polyester or polyester-cotton blends. However, each test method names the ballast type it requires.
Can I reuse the ballast?
Yes, you can reuse it many times. You should replace pieces that show heavy wear, holes, or stains ISO Ballast Type 1.
Does the ballast need washing before first use?
Yes. Wash and dry it first to remove any residual finishes.
Does ASTZBD deliver across Bangladesh?
Yes. ASTZBD ships to Dhaka, Chattogram, Gazipur, Narayanganj, and other industrial areas.
