General Information
Relations
Overview
ISO 1833-7:2017 is an international standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that specifies a quantitative chemical analysis method for textiles. This standard outlines a precise procedure using formic acid to determine the mass percentage of polyamide fibers in textile mixtures that include polyamide combined with various other fibers. The method focuses on accurately measuring polyamide content after removing non-fibrous matter, making it essential for quality control, material verification, and compliance in the textile industry.
Key Topics
- Scope: Applies to textiles composed of polyamide mixed with fibers such as cotton, viscose, cupro, modal, lyocell, polyester, polypropylene, chlorofiber, acrylic, glass fiber, elastomultiester, elastolefin, melamine, and certain animal fibers including wool (up to 25% content) and other animal hairs.
- Exclusions: The standard does not apply if wool content exceeds 25%; ISO 1833-4 is the relevant standard in such cases.
- Analytical Principle: Polyamide is selectively dissolved by 80% aqueous formic acid from a dried textile sample. The insoluble residue is washed, dried, and weighed. The mass percentage of polyamide is calculated by difference from the original dry mass.
- Reagents Required:
- 80% mass fraction formic acid, prepared by dilution from higher concentrations.
- Diluted ammonia solution for washing residue.
- Test Procedure Highlights:
- Soak the textile sample in formic acid, shaking intermittently for 15 minutes at room temperature.
- Filter through a weighed crucible, rinse with formic acid, hot water, diluted ammonia, and cold water.
- Dry and weigh the residue.
- Precision: The method provides results with a confidence limit of ±1 percentage point at 95% confidence, ensuring reliable quantitative analysis.
Applications
ISO 1833-7:2017 is widely used in the textile manufacturing, quality assurance, and testing laboratories to:
- Verify fiber composition in polyamide blends, supporting product labeling accuracy and compliance with regulations.
- Assist in quality control processes for textile products containing polyamide mixtures by providing reproducible and standardized fiber content data.
- Aid research and development teams in textile fiber blending and validating the actual fiber content after processing.
- Support customs and trade inspections by ensuring fiber content claims meet international standards, reducing disputes over product specifications.
- Enable accurate characterization of textile products in industries such as apparel, upholstery, technical textiles, and automotive textiles.
Related Standards
- ISO 1833-1: General principles of quantitative chemical analysis for textiles, which provides foundational methodology referenced in ISO 1833-7.
- ISO 1833-4: Specifies analytical methods for textiles with mixtures of certain protein fibers (including wool exceeding 25%) with other fibers using hypochlorite treatment, applicable when ISO 1833-7 is not.
- Other parts of the ISO 1833 series cover different fiber mixtures and chemical analysis methodologies relevant to various textile compositions.
Conclusion
ISO 1833-7:2017 offers a standardized and reliable chemical testing method for quantifying polyamide content in complex textile fiber blends. Utilizing formic acid as a selective solvent, this method ensures precise and reproducible results that are crucial for textile manufacturers, testers, and regulators worldwide. Adhering to this standard promotes transparency, quality assurance, and facilitates global trade compliance for textile products involving polyamide fiber mixtures.
