It is important that the textiles on the market are free of harmful and regulated substances. Chemical analysis is a way to gain control over the products' chemical content.
Purpose
Dimethylfumarate (DMFu) is used to counteract fungus growth in clothes, shoes and other leather items. DMFu can e.g. be found in silica gel bags, but is also applied on the product both as a powder and in tablet form.
It is a fungicide and is harmful to skin and a strongly allergenic (skin sensitizer) substance.
Society and consumers set high demands on companies and their products. The legislation also means that you as an actor must have complete information and control over the chemicals in your product. It is especially important with products for children and goods with skin contact, such as clothes and accessories.
We can help you interpret the legal requirements in REACH and POPs and propose appropriate analyzes.
Method
OEKO-TEX analysis method.
This method is applicable to textile in any form (fibres, yarn, fabrics, etc.) and for leather materials.
