Abstract

This document specifies a thermal method and a gravimetric method for a quantitative determination of the certain synthetic materials (polyester, polyamide, acrylic, elastane, polypropylene and polyethylene) released from fabrics under washing test conditions. This method is applicable to synthetic fabric and synthetic/natural blended fabric - Synthetic/cellulosic fabrics (e.g. PET/Cotton, Nylon/Cotton, Acrylic/Cotton) - Synthetic/protein fabrics (e.g. PET/Wool, Nylon/Wool, Acrylic/Wool)
