A few days ago, the Changzhou Inspection and Quarantine Bureau discovered during the inspection of a batch of cotton jacquard fabrics imported from Japan that the pH value was 9.4, exceeding the 4.0-8.5 stipulated in my country’s mandatory standard GB18401-2010 “National Basic Safety Technical Specifications for Textile Products” The limit requirements; the shrinkage rate is -7.2% in the warp direction and -6.6% in the weft direction, which exceeds the standard requirements of -3% in the warp and weft directions specified in my country’s “Cotton Yarn-dyed Fabrics” FZ/T13007-2008, and the import company is immediately required to redo the process. Wash and finish accordingly.
Some companies prefer imported fabrics when making high-end clothing. However, inspection and quarantine agencies in many places across the country have repeatedly found that the ingredients of imported fabrics are unqualified, involving azo dyes, formaldehyde content, PH value, color fastness, etc. that involve human safety, Mandatory indicators such as health and environmental protection. Among them, azo dyes will release carcinogenic aromatic amine compounds after long-term contact with human skin, which is a strong carcinogen; excessive formaldehyde content will release free formaldehyde during wearing, causing respiratory and skin inflammation, and may even induce cancer. ; Exceeding the PH value will directly destroy the weakly acidic environment on the surface of human skin, weaken the skin’s ability to resist bacterial invasion, cause local or even systemic allergies, and even cause skin ulcers. In addition, although excessive shrinkage does not endanger human health and safety, it will cause quantitative losses to the importing enterprises and affect the wearability of the garments due to the shrinkage of the garments after daily washing.
The Changzhou Inspection and Quarantine Department reminds consumers not to blindly believe in imported fabrics when purchasing clothing. When choosing, pay attention to the following points: first, be sure to check the relevant Chinese ingredient labels and washing methods, and beware of foreign language labels or even false labels that are “smoke and mirrors”; second, do not be fooled by some fabrics that “look beautiful but contain poison” Confused, especially for infants and young children, avoid choosing fabrics with bright colors and complex ingredients; third, try not to buy clothes with pungent odors. It is best to soak and wash newly purchased clothes before wearing them.
