The Textile Formaldehyde Content Tester is a precision instrument designed to determine the formaldehyde levels in textiles, including fabrics and finished garments. It employs chemical extraction and colorimetric methods (e.g., Nessler reagent reaction) to accurately quantify free and hydrolyzed formaldehyde content, ensuring compliance with national and international textile safety standards. The instrument supports high-throughput testing, data storage, and automated wavelength calibration for reliable and repeatable results.
Application
This tester is widely used in:
Textile manufacturing and processing factories for quality control.
Garment production lines to ensure finished products meet formaldehyde safety standards.
Textile laboratories for research and development of safe, low-formaldehyde fabrics.
Inspection and testing agencies verifying compliance with regulatory standards.
Educational institutions for textile chemistry and safety training.
Standards
The instrument is compliant with:
GB/T 2912 – Textiles: Determination of formaldehyde – Part 1: Free and hydrolyzed formaldehyde
AATCC 112 – Textiles: Determination of formaldehyde – Vapor absorption method
BS 6806 – Textile formaldehyde testing
