Clothing Ingredients Safety Testing Textiles

PH value standard:

The new national standard of clothing stipulates that the pH value of direct contact with skin clothing must be between 4.0-7.5, which is not directly related to skin clothing.

PH value

Between 4.0-9.0 and normal skin, the pH value is acidic, about 4.5 to 6.5. If the pH value of clothing is too high, it will irritate the skin and cause skin diseases.

Formaldehyde content standard

Western-style clothes and trousers

formaldehyde

The content should not exceed 300 mg per kilogram. If the label exceeds this range, it is unsafe.

If the formaldehyde content is not up to standard, it will invade the viscera of the human body, which will lead to tuberculosis and even cancer.

Safety technology category

Reporters visited the market found that the vast majority of clothing did not comply with the regulations, the pH value and formaldehyde content is marked on the clothing tag.

At this time, consumers can see A, B and C three categories of safety technology to identify their harmfulness to human body.

Type A: infant clothing,

Class B: products that are directly exposed to the skin (such as skirts in summer).

Class C: products that are not directly exposed to skin (such as cotton padded clothes in winter).

These three categories

textile

Formaldehyde, pH, color fastness and other five health and safety indicators are specified in detail. If clothes are labeled as C, they should not be exposed to skin when they are dressed. Parents should carefully consider whether they are class a products when choosing infant products.

Clothing composition category

Labels on clothing are marked with ingredients. Consumers can identify their hazards to the human body by looking at the ingredients.

Clothing components are divided into natural fibers and chemical fibers. Natural fibers have little harm to the human body, while chemical fibers have a relatively large impact on the human body.

Chemical fibers: polyester, nylon, acrylic, vinylon, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, spandex and so on.

Chemical fibers are spun into yarn, and then processed into various garments to reach consumers. During this process, a series of processes, such as dyeing, printing, finishing and so on, must be added and used. Some of these chemicals are harmful to the human body.

Natural fibers: cotton, linen, silk, wool and so on.

Natural fiber materials and green products (such as colored cotton, not colored or colored cotton) should be selected as far as possible to avoid contact with chemical dyes. As far as possible, materials with no or less chemical content and less chemical finishing are selected.

Sometimes the sweat and dye discharged by the human body play an important role in human skin.
