偶氮染料AZO测试服务 Azo Dyes Testing Service

Azo dyes are synthetic dyes with which manufacturers treat certain textile and leather products to give them more vibrant colors. However, some types of these dyes degrade and produce aromatic amines, which have proven to be carcinogenic.

Multiple governing bodies, such as the European Union (EU) and the State of California, have created restrictions on the inclusion of Azo dyes in consumer products, specifically textiles and leathers that come into prolonged contact with the skin. The legal limit for each harmful amine is 10 parts per million (ppm). This means that, in order to remain compliant, harmful Azo dyes must make up less than 0.003% of the mass of each leather and textile component included in a regulated product.

To avoid running afoul of the various consumer safety laws and industry regulations that restrict the use of Azo dyes in consumer products, manufacturers send samples of their design materials to testing labs like PTS Testing Services for analysis. We test client samples for these substances using a method called Gas Chromatography / Mass Spectroscopy (GC/MS).

About the Method
GC/MS is a destructive method of testing that yields information on the chemical composition of the analyte. PTS Testing Service chemical analysis lab uses this method to isolate, identify, and measure compounds of interest if present in sample materials. PTS provides results at the parts-per-billion (ppb) level when performing this test — a far greater sensitivity than required by regulations on Azo dyes. We can achieve these low detection limits because of the sensitivity of PTS Testing Service analytical equipment and our chemists’ experience in regularly performing the method to relevant standards.
