Quantitative chemical dosage on textiles

Quantitative chemical determination on textiles allows for the precise determination of the concentration of specific substances present in a textile material. This analysis is essential for verifying regulatory compliance (REACH, OEKO-TEX®, etc.), monitoring the quality of applied treatments (dyes, finishing agents, active substances), or identifying the presence of contaminants or unwanted residues. It applies to both technical textiles and textiles intended for food, cosmetic, or environmental use.

Depending on the analytical targets, different techniques are used:
• Chromatography (GC-MS, HPLC, LC-MS/MS) for dyes, solvents, biocides, volatile organic compounds
• Spectroscopy (ICP-MS, AAS) for heavy metals, trace elements
• Titrimetry or gravimetry for finishing agents (resins, flame retardants, waterproofing agents, etc.)

Typical matrices include: natural or synthetic fibers, finished or semi-finished fabrics, non-woven textiles, textile packaging, professional clothing or textiles for cosmetic use.

At YesWeLab , we collaborate with a rigorously selected network of laboratories, most of which are certified and/or accredited (ISO 17025, COFRAC, etc.). These laboratories are chosen based on your specific needs, the matrices to be analyzed, and the analytical techniques or methods required.
