As an importer or manufacturer of textile and footwear products, you need to ensure that you exclude hazardous chemicals from your products and that you meet global restrictions on various chemicals. To do this, you need to implement the necessary quality assurance measures at all stages of the supply chain to protect your own interests and those of your customers. Companies should pay extra attention to the selection of dyes and chemical additives, and should do their best to avoid products containing harmful substances such as formaldehyde, pesticides and toxic heavy metals. For more information, please contact: 13524733472
In the field of hazardous chemicals testing, Feifan has leading professional technology and experience, as well as advanced instruments and equipment, can provide customers with comprehensive and accurate chemical testing services.
Azo/Carcinogenic/Sensitizing Dyes
Azo dyes are synthetic dyes commonly used in textile and leather dyeing that possess a nitrogen-nitrogen double bond (N=N) in their chemical structure. Some azo dyes may produce carcinogenic aromatic amines under certain conditions. In Europe, REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 Appendix XVII prohibits the use of 22 carcinogenic aromatic amines in textiles and leather. Among the other dyes used in the textile industry, there are some that can have a negative impact on human health. More than 20 disperse dyes are sensitizing and another 9 are carcinogenic. These dyes can be absorbed through the skin during prolonged contact with human skin.
Formaldehyde
Formaldehyde is commonly used as a cross-linking agent in textile easy care, thus giving textiles features such as shrink-proof, wrinkle-resistant, non-iron and easy stain removal. The released formaldehyde can be hazardous to human health, especially strong irritation to human mucous membranes and respiratory tract.
Pentachlorophenol (P/C/P), Tetrachlorophenol (TeCP) and Trichlorophenol (TriCP)
To prevent mold and mildew from causing mildew stains on textiles, leather and wood, chlorinated phenols (e.g. P/C/P) are often used directly in such products.P/C/P is very toxic and carcinogenic.
Insecticides
Insecticides are used in the cultivation of natural plant fibers (e.g., cotton) to prevent pests and diseases and insect infestation in storage; herbicides are used to remove weeds and fallen leaves. These chemicals may be absorbed by the fibers and remain in the final product. Although most of them are removed during subsequent wet processing, the residues of these pesticides or herbicides are of varying degrees of toxicity to humans, and some are readily absorbed through the skin.
Heavy Metals
Certain dyes and pigments contain heavy metals. Natural fibers may also absorb heavy metals from the soil and air during the growing process. In addition, certain heavy metals may be brought in during the dyeing and finishing of textiles. Heavy metals, once absorbed by the human body, will accumulate in internal organs such as the liver or kidneys, and when the accumulation reaches a certain level, it will cause serious damage to human health, such as lead, which can seriously affect the human nervous system. Heavy metals usually refer to: antimony (Sb), arsenic (As), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), copper (Cu), hexavalent chromium (Cr VI), total chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni). Cadmium and lead are carcinogens. Europe has long restricted the use of cadmium, in addition to certain European regulations, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) also restricts the use of lead.

Hexavalent chromium (Cr VI)
Hexavalent chromium is primarily a harmful by-product of the chrome tanning process of leather, and significant amounts of hexavalent chromium are produced during subsequent storage and transportation. It is a strong oxidizing agent and is carcinogenic, so it must be controlled.
Nickel release
Nickel is commonly used in metal alloy accessories for clothing, such as buttons, zippers, and rivets. Some people are allergic to nickel, which can cause severe skin irritation when in prolonged contact with nickel-containing accessories. The European Union REACH regulation (EC) No1907/2006 Appendix XVII stipulates the limits of nickel release.
Phthalate plasticizers
Phthalates are the most commonly used plasticizers for softening polyvinyl chloride (PVC), others are used in polyurethane (PU) and printing inks. Studies have shown that under simulated oral chewing, soft PVC may release considerable amounts of phthalates, which are potentially harmful to young children. Many countries around the world have passed legislation restricting the use of phthalate plasticizers in child care products, including the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) in the U.S. and REACH in the EU.
TBT, DBT and other organotin compounds
In the textile industry, tributyltin (TBT) is used to prevent microbial decomposition in sweat from causing shoes, socks and sportswear to give off unpleasant odors as a result. Some organotins are also used in the production of PVC and PU. High concentrations of organotin compounds are considered toxic, and these substances can be absorbed into the body through the skin and may cause reproductive disorders.
Chlorinated organocarriers
Usually used as a dyeing aid for polyester fibers. Chlorine-containing organic compounds may damage the central nervous system of human beings and cause malfunctions of the liver and kidneys.
Flame retardants
Commonly used flame retardants are Tris (2,3 Dibromopropyl) Phosphate (TRIS), Tris (Azetidopropyl) Phosphine Oxide (TEPA), 2,3 Dibromopropyl Phosphate (Bis (2,3 Dibromopropyl) Phosphate), Polybrominated Brominated Biphenyls (PBB) and Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE). Prolonged human exposure to high doses of flame retardants may result in immune system damage, hypothyroidism, memory loss and joint stiffness.
PH
The surface of human skin is weakly acidic, which protects against many diseases. Textiles are beneficial to human skin when they are neutral (pH 7) or weakly acidic (below pH 7), but if they are more acidic or alkaline, they are prone to damage the skin and even cause allergic reactions.
Dimethyl fumarate (DMFU)
Dimethyl fumarate is a volatile compound that can cause irritation and damage to the skin, eyes, mucous membranes and upper respiratory tract when contacted, inhaled or ingested by the human body. This substance is commonly used as a fungicide and can also be used in desiccant sachets to prevent mold and mildew from forming on leather, furniture, shoes or leather accessories during storage or transport, which can cause damage to the product. Dimethyl fumarate is explicitly banned in Annex XII No 1907/2006 of the EU REACH regulation (EC).
Alkylphenols (AP) and Alkylphenol ethoxylates (APEO)
Alkylphenols and alkylphenol ethoxylates are commonly used as wetting agents in textile processing. The EU REACH regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 restricts the emission of nonylphenol (NP) and nonylphenol ethoxylates (NPEO). For many years, NPEO has been used as a detergent, emulsifier, wetting agent and dispersant; NP is used as a medium for the synthesis of NPEO.NPEO and NP are highly toxic to aquatic animals and are considered water pollutants. They can disrupt the hormonal regulatory system of aquatic animals and cause estrogenic effects. Among other alkylphenols and alkylphenol ethoxylates of general concern are octylphenol (OP) and octylphenol ethoxylate (OPEO). For more information: 13524733472
Perfluorooctane sulfonyl compounds (PFOS)
PFOS is widely used for grease, oil and water repellent treatment of textiles, clothing, carpets, leather and paper. This substance is strongly bioaccumulative and toxic.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC)
VOCs are a range of volatile organic solvents often used in paint and ink formulations, glues, detergents and footwear production. Due to their organic nature, these chemicals have strong and distinctive odors. Some VOCs, such as benzene, are carcinogenic and some are highly toxic and irritating
