Identifying new fibers will have standards

Sep 03, 2019

Recently, the reporter learned from the national inspection and quarantine department that the "7 kinds of textile fiber series identification method" has been officially implemented for a period of time, which marks the production of seven new types of fibers such as lysell fiber, chitin fiber and polylactic acid fiber. There will be standards for identification work.


In recent years, with the development of textile technology, some new fiber materials such as lyocell fiber, chitin fiber, milk protein conjugate fiber, polylactic acid fiber, bamboo pulp fiber, etc. are emerging at an unprecedented rate, not only by outsiders. Fibers do not understand, even some people in the industry may not be able to make a very accurate explanation. Due to the failure to follow up the development of relevant standards, there are certain loopholes and difficulties in the production and identification of some new types of fibers.


In response to this situation, the inspection and quarantine system and related universities have compiled the industry standard "Seven Kinds of Textile Fiber Series Identification Methods". The standard uses a combination of combustion, microscopic observation, chemical dissolution, coloring test, melting point measurement method, infrared absorption spectrum and other test methods, and introduces the latest detection means such as special element color reaction, and establishes a set of operating procedures for experimental instruments and reagents. Scientific and effective properties of seven new fibers, such as lyocell fiber, bamboo pulp fiber, chitin fiber, soybean protein composite fiber, milk protein composite fiber, polylactic acid fiber and polytrimethylene terephthalate fiber. Judging and formulating a specific scheme for identifying these seven new types of fibers.


The formulation and implementation of the standard has made the identification and identification of the seven new types of fibers currently used more standard, which has changed the relatively random situation of related work in the past. The inspection and quarantine department reminds relevant enterprises to learn new standards in a timely manner and carry out procurement, production and quality inspection in accordance with the requirements of the new standards.
