General schemes for the identification of natural and synthetic fibers have been estabhshed by the Textile Institute and by the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (8). A comprehensive treatment of burning, solvent, staining, microscopy, and density techniques has been given (9) and a general discussion of procedures for identifyiag synthetic fibers has been presented (10).

Researchers had noted the release of formaldehyde by chemically treated fabric under prolonged hot, humid conditions (85,86). The American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC) Test Method 112 (87), or the sealed-jar test, developed in the United States and used extensively for 25 years, measures the formaldehyde release as a vapor from fabric stored over water in a sealed jar for 20 hours at 49°C. The method can also be carried out for 4 hours at 65°C. Results from this test have been used to eliminate less stable finishes. 

Azine dyes are relatively unimportant as a class of dyes but are used extensively as biological stains. Colors are mostly yellow to red. DurabiUty of some of these dyes is supported by the 1990 LATCC Buyers Guide pubflshed by the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists, which fists Basic Red 2, Safranine T [477-73-6] (13) and Basic Red 5, Neutral Red [553-24-2] (14), discovered in 1859 and 1879, respectively (1). Basic Red 2 is a safranine similar to mauveine (7).

The agitation studies for PET depolymerization were performed in the Atlas Launder-ometer. The Launder-ometer is a device for rotating closed containers in a thermostatically controlled water bath. The procedure used in these experiments was adapted from an American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC) standard test method. The 5% sodium hydroxide solution (250 mL) was preheated to 80°C in a 1-pint stainless steel jar. The catalysts were added in the following amounts in separate experiments TOMAC (0.04 g, 0.0001 mol) TOMAB (0.045 g, 0.0001 mol) and HTMAB (0.045 g, 0.0001 mol). The PET fiber specimens (1.98 g, 0.01 mol) were placed in the containers along with ten -in. stainless steel balls to aid in the agitation process. The jars were sealed in the Launder-ometer, whose bath was at the desired temperature (80°C). The machine was allowed to run for the allowed treatment times (i.e., 30, 60, 90, 150, and 240 min) at 42 rpm. Upon decanting, any residual fibers...
