Flame Retardant Chemical Testing
category
Flame retardant chemical testing identifies and quantifies halogenated, phosphorus-based, and nitrogen-based flame retardant substances in textile substrates using LC-MS/MS, GC-MS, and ICP-OES analytical methods, assessing both compliance with restricted substance regulations and wash durability of flame retardant treatments on apparel and furnishing textiles.
Role
Ensures textile flame retardant treatments comply with REACH restrictions on halogenated flame retardants, addresses toxicological concerns about persistent bioaccumulative organohalogen compounds, and validates the performance durability of compliant phosphorus and intumescent flame retardant systems after repeated laundering.
