Introduction
The ecological security of textile products is an important requirement of global textile and apparel trade. For textile dyeing and finishing auxiliaries, as special chemicals for textiles, strengthening the detection and control of harmful substances from the source is conducive to reducing the risk of harmful substances in downstream textile products and ensuring personal health and safety.
At present, there are many requirements for the control of harmful substances at the consumer end of the textile industry. GB/T 29493 aims to formulate the detection method standard of main harmful substances in the textile dyeing and finishing auxiliary industry, which is composed of the following nine parts:
——Part 1: Determination of the prohibited or restricted flame retardants;
——Part 2: Determination of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs);
——Part 3: Determination of organotins—GC/MS method;
——Part 4: Determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons—GC/MS method;
——Part 5: Determination of free formaldehyde in emulsion polymers;
——Part 6: Determination of isocyanate groups in polyurethane prepolymers;
——Part 7: Determination of monomeric diisocyanates in polyurethane coating agent;
——Part 8: Determination of residual monomers in polyacrylate;
——Part 9: Determination of acrylamide.
The nine parts of GB/T 29493 are for different harmful substances, and are relatively independent. In recent years, the types of prohibited or restricted flame retardants concerned by the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain have gradually increased. This document is revised in combination with the focus of the industry and the progress of testing technology, which improves the scientificity and applicability of the standard, realizes the source detection and control of prohibited or restricted flame retardants, and is conducive to promoting the reduction and substitution of harmful substances in the industry.
