Ecological textile testing

Product range:

1. Overview

Ecological textiles refer to those textile products that are made of raw materials that are harmless or less harmful to the surrounding environment and are harmless to human health.
Ecological textiles should meet the following technical requirements
1. The product shall not be treated with chlorine bleaching.
2. The product shall not be mold-proof moth-proof finishing and flame retardant finishing.
3. Pentachlorophenol and tetrachlorophenol shall not be added to the product.
4. The product shall not have musty smell, gasoline smell and toxic aromatic odor. If there is an odor, there is a residue.
5. The product shall not use azo dyes decomposed into toxic aromatic amine dyes, carcinogenic dyes and dyes that may cause allergies.
6. The formaldehyde, extractable heavy metal content, PH value of leaching solution, color fastness and pesticide retention in the product should meet the requirements.
 
2. Standards and regulatory requirements
 
Oeko-Tex Standard 100 is the world's most authoritative and most influential textile ecological standard, its latest version is the 2015 version of China's relevant departments combined with China's national conditions, from the most basic safety performance aspects, formulated GB 18401: National Textile Products Basic Safety Specifications and GB 31701: Infant and Children's Textile Products Safety Technical Specifications.

pH

Human skin has an pH of 4.5 to 6.0, and its slightly acidic nature protects the skin against bacteria and viruses. As people get older, the skin will become more and more neutral and cannot be as antibacterial as before. Textiles that are neutral or slightly acidic are beneficial to the human body. If the pH of textiles is too high or too low, the skin surface is easily damaged.
 
formaldehyde
 
Formaldehyde gives textiles anti-shrinkage, anti-wrinkle, iron-free and other functions. This volatile substance is easily released from the fabric, which can damage human health, especially irritating the respiratory mucosa.

Plants absorb heavy metals in the soil during the planting process, and heavy metals are present in the post-treatment process of textiles and various dyes. Heavy metals entering the human body will accumulate in the organs, and once this accumulation reaches a certain level, it will have a serious impact on our health. We simulate human sweat and extract these heavy metals to detect the amount of heavy metals in textiles.

 

Azo/sensitizing/carcinogenic dyes

The safety of dyes in clothing fabrics is undoubtedly very important because they are in contact with the skin for a long time. Azo dyes are a common class of dyes, widely used in the textile and leather industries. However, some of the dyes are believed to be reduced to aromatic amines that are not good for human health. Some dyes that are highly dispersed in water, the molecules are very fine, and long-term contact with the skin may be absorbed. Some of these dyes are thought to be allergenic and carcinogenic.

 

Phthalates

Phthalates are commonly used plasticizers that are added to plastics and coatings to enhance their properties. Studies have shown that some phthalates can adversely affect children's development, so there are strict restrictions in toys that babies enter.

 

Organotin

Organotin has antibacterial, anti-mildew and other biological killing effects, and is used in shoe linings, gloves, child care products and other products. High concentrations of organotin are neurotoxic after being absorbed by the body through the skin.

 

Color fastness

Color fastness is the basic requirement of consumers for product performance, which directly reflects product quality. Dye shedding not only affects the appearance of ready-to-wear, the dye is more likely to be absorbed by the body through the skin. Four Color Fastness indicators are selected in the Ecotextile Standard, which are water stains, perspiration (acidic/alkaline), resistant (dry/wet) and saliva (especially for infants and young children). Color fastness to saliva and sweat stains in baby clothing is particularly important because infants and young children can absorb dyes through saliva and sweat stains.
