What is ISO 1833-1 Quantitative chemical analysis about?
ISO 1833 is an international standard on textiles that discusses quantitative chemical analysis. ISO 1833‑10 provides the best industry guidance on mixtures of triacetate or polylactide with certain other fibres to ensure effective chemical analysis.
ISO 1833‑10 specifies a method, using dichloromethane, to determine the mass percentage of triacetate or polylactide, after removal of non-fibrous matter, in textiles made of mixtures of triacetate or polylactide with wool or other animal hair, silk, protein, cotton, viscose, cupro, modal, lyocell, polyamide, polyester, acrylic, elastomultiester, polypropylene, elastolefin, melamine, polypropylene/polyamide bicomponent, polyacrylate and glass fibres.
Note: Triacetate fibres that have been partially hydrolysed (i.e. saponification) cease to be completely soluble in the reagent. In such cases, the method under ISO 1833‑10 does not apply.
Who is ISO 1833-10-Quantitative chemical analysis for?
ISO 1833‑10 on quantitative chemical analysis is relevant to:
- Textile manufacturer
- Textile industry
- Textile testing laboratories
Why should you use ISO 1833-10-Quantitative chemical analysis?
Triacetate is a durable fibre that is resistant to wrinkles, stains, chemicals, sunlight, insects, and moisture.
ISO 1833‑13 provides you with a method for determining the quantitative chemical analysis of triacetate in textiles made with mixtures of triacetate, to remove sizing, finishing, and other non-fibrous materials.
ISO 183313 assists the fabric industries by providing the necessary methods and procedures to formulate superior and refined fabrics with cost-effective, cost-effective, and sustainable properties.
With compliance and obedience to ISO 1833‑13, you can efficiently do chemical analysis that enhances the efficacy of products and assist in manufacturing a standardized product of high quality.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS EN ISO 1833‑10:2019 supersedes ISO 1833-10:2010, which is withdrawn. BS EN ISO 1833‑13:2019 includes some technical changes compared to ISO 1833-10:2010. These include:
- The title was changed from “Mixtures of triacetate or polylactide and certain other fibres…” to “Mixtures of triacetate or polylactide with certain other fibres…”
- In Clause 1, several remaining fibres have been added
- In Clause 7 (former Clause 6), some precise details have been added in the test procedure
- In Clause 8 (former Clause 7), a specific d factor for elastomultiester, elastolefin and melamine has been added
- In Clause 9 (former Clause 8), “percentage point” has been added to avoid confusion
