Textiles

At a closer look, textiles are a combination of fibres forming flexible materials. Many of these fabrics are blends of natural fibres like wool, silk, or cotton and synthetic fibres such as nylon, polyester, or polyamide.

Depending on their field of application, the fibres are treated and refined in different ways. Examples are dyeing, anti-microbial finishing, or a treatment with cyclodextrines as odour absorbents.

Among others, PiCA Prüfinstitut Chemische Analytik GmbH tests for

  • prohibited azo compounds
  • allergenic disperse dyes
  • anti-microbial finishing agents (e. g. triclosan, formaldehyde, dimethyl fumarate)
  • mothproofing agents (e. g. permethrin, Eulan)
  • flame retardants
  • organotin compounds

Pesticides according to many national and international standards
