ANNEX METHODS FOR QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF CERTAIN BINARY FIBRE MIXTURES

METHOD No 14 POLYPROPYLENE FIBRES AND CERTAIN OTHER FIBRES (Xylene method)

• 1. 

  FIELD OF APPLICATION

This method is applicable, after removal of non-fibrous matter, to binary mixtures of: 1. polypropylene fibres (31)

with

• 2. 

  wool (1), animal hair (2 and 3), silk (4), cotton (5), acetate (17), cupro (19), modal (20), triacetate (22), viscose (23), acrylic (24), "polyamide" or "nylon" (28), polyester (29) and glass fibre (38).
