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
UV-stabilizer for plastics, polyurethanes and rubber and constituent in formulations used for coating of surfaces, e.g. cars or special industrial wood coatings. Also used in dishwasher detergents, dry cleaning equipment, and deicing/anti-icing fluids.
UV stabilisers are persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic. Very persistent and bioaccumulative.
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 for the determination of UV-stabilizers in materials which need high UV stability (such as PVC, PP, PUR-coatings, plastisol prints, coatings/finishes against sun).
