Textiles—Quantitative chemical analysis—Part 12: Mixtures of acrylic, certain modacrylics, certain chlorofibres, certain elastane fibres with certain other fibres (method using dimethylformamide)
GB/T 2910.12-2023 Textiles - Quantitative chemical analysis -Part 12 : Mixtures of acrylic, certain Modacrylics, certain chlorofibres, certain elastane fibres with certain other fibres (method using dimethylformamide)
1 Scope
This document specifies a method, using dimethylformamide, to determine the mass percentage of acrylic, modacrylic, chlorofibre or elastane, after removal of non-fibrous matter, in textiles made of mixtures of
- acrylic, certain modacrylics, certain chlorofibres, certain elastane fibres with
- wool, other animal hair, silk, cotton, viscose, cupro, modal, lyocell, polyamide, polyester, polypropylene, elastomultiester, elastolefin, melamine, polypropylene/polyamide bicomponent, polyacrylate and glass fibres.
It is not applicable to wool, other animal hair and silk dyed with chromium based mordant dyes.
Note 1: Dyestuff identification is described in ISO 16373‑1.
Note 2: This method has great damage to some polyester fibers (low melting point polyester/polyester composite fibers) with sheath-core structure in the filling batt. Observe the state of the remaining fibers after dissolution to confirm whether this method is applicable.

4 Principle
The acrylic, modacrylic, chlorofibre or elastane is dissolved out from a known dry mass of the mixture, with dimethylformamide at 90 °C to 95 °C. The residue is collected, washed, dried and weighed. Its mass, corrected if necessary, is expressed as a percentage of the dry mass of the mixture, and the percentage of acrylic, modacrylic, chlorofibre or elastane is found by the difference.
Where certain modacrylic fibres, certain chlorofibres or certain elastane fibres are present, a preliminary test shall be carried out to determine whether the fibre is completely soluble in the reagent.
It is also possible to analyse mixtures containing certain elastane fibres by using the test methods described in GB/T 2910.20 or GB/T 2910.21, depending on the solubility of elastane and on the other fibres present.
