DIN EN 16732 Determination of alkylphenols in fabrics
The DIN EN 16732 standard provides a robust framework for determining the concentration of alkylphenols in textile materials, which is crucial for ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and maintaining product quality. Alkylphenols are widely used as surfactants in various industrial applications, including textiles. However, their presence can lead to environmental contamination if not properly controlled.
This test method utilizes a combination of extraction techniques followed by quantitative analysis using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The process involves meticulous sample preparation and extraction, ensuring that the alkylphenols are accurately identified and quantified. Compliance with this standard is essential for manufacturers aiming to meet regulatory requirements such as Oeko-Tex Standard 100.
Alkylphenols play a significant role in textile processing due to their excellent wetting properties, emulsifying ability, and biodegradability. However, certain alkylphenols are suspected endocrine disruptors, which has led to increased scrutiny by regulatory bodies worldwide. Compliance with DIN EN 16732 ensures that the products meet these stringent environmental standards.
The test method is particularly relevant for raw materials, semi-finished goods, and finished products intended for consumer use or industrial applications. The standard provides detailed instructions on sample preparation, extraction procedures, and analytical methods to ensure accurate results. It also specifies acceptable limits for alkylphenols in textiles, which are designed to minimize environmental impact.
