Prepared generally by ester interchange from polyvinylacelate (ethanoate) using methanol and base also formed by hydrolysis of the acetate by NaOH and water. The properties of the poly(vinyl alcohol) depend upon the structure of the original polyvinyl acetate. Forms copolymers. Used as a size in the textile industry, in aqueous adhesives, in the production of polyvinyl acetates (e.g. butynal) for safety glasses. U.S. production 1980... 

Health Safety. PET fibers pose no health risk to humans or animals. Eibers have been used extensively iu textiles with no adverse physiological effects from prolonged skin contact. PET has been approved by the U.S. Eood and Dmg Administration for food packagiug and botties. PET is considered biologically iuert and has been widely used iu medical iaserts such as vascular implants and artificial blood vessels, artificial bone, and eye sutures (19). Other polyester homopolymers including polylactide and polyglycoHde are used iu resorbable sutures (19,47). 

These thermoplastic pigments found application in a much wider range of finished products. New, large-volume applications included coated paper for labels and point of purchase signage, gravure for soap box cartons and bright textiles for fashion, and safety applications. 

It also finds miscellaneous applications in textile and metal coatings and in adhesive formulations. Where it is to be used as a safety glass interleaver, a very pure product is required and this is most conveniently prepared from... 

Inspection by independent persons or bodies for safety purposes goes back to the middle of the nineteenth century. At that time, the focus of concern was the explosion of steam boilers, and this hazard was most prevalent in the textile industry. Consequently, a group of public-spirited individuals formed the Manchester Steam Users Association for the Prevention of Boiler Explosion. This body carried out boiler examinations and later added insurance as an inducement to the plant owners. By the beginning of the twentieth century steam and gas engines and electrical machines had been added, followed by lifts, cranes and hoisting machines.

An important QC analysis in the fibre and textile industry is the surface finish determination by Soxhlet extraction (AATCC Test Method 94-1992). Solvent extraction is used on textile materials to determine naturally occurring oily and waxy materials that have not been completely removed from the fibres (ASTM Method D 2257-96). Meanwhile, environmental, safety... 

The semi-fuse thus produced is waterproofed by passing through troughs of molten bitumen or by coating also with plastic.For higher grade safety fuse, a further countering of textile, such as cotton, is followed by a final varnish, which may be coloured for identification purposes. 

As the blackpowder core of a safety fuse bums, it produces gases which must escape. At the same time the heat of the combustion melts the bitumen and plastic and thus produces side venting through the textile layers. This results in the production of an increased but constant gas pressure, determined by the equilibrium between gas generation and gas lost sideways. As the rate of burning of blackpowder depends markedly on the pressure, it is this process of equilibration which determines the speed of burning of the fuse. 

BFRs are one of the last classes of halogenated compounds that are still being produced worldwide and used in high quantities in many applications. In order to meet fire safety regulations, flame retardants (FRs) are applied to combustible materials such as polymers, plastics, wood, paper, and textiles. Approximately 25% of all FRs contain bromine as the active ingredient. More than 80 different aliphatic, cyclo-aliphatic, aromatic, and polymeric compounds are used as BFRs. BFRs, such as polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs), hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD), and tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), have been used in different consumer products in large quantities, and consequently they were detected in the environment, biota, and even in human samples [26, 27].

The chaotic situation existing in the synthetic colorant industry was evident in the 80 colorants available in 1907 to the paint, plastic, textile, and food industries. Obviously very few of them had been tested for safety. Dr Bernard Hesse, a German dye expert employed by the US Department of Agriculture, was asked to study the situation and he concluded that, of the 80 colorants available, only 16 were more or less harmless and he recommended only seven for use in food. This led to the US Food and Dmg Act of 1906 which set up a certification procedure which ensured the identity of the colorant and the levels of impurities specifications for each food, dmg and cosmetic (FD C) color permitted for each colorant.4...

If acceptable washing conditions can be achieved, then processing washed cotton may be a realistic long term method for dealing with the dust standard and for insuring worker safety and health, for at least some segments of the textile Industry.

The example of the textile chain demonstrates (i) how much the techni-cal/aesthetic quality of products and chemicals-related product security are interdependent and (ii) what requirements exist for a quality management system beyond the supply chain level. Only the major brands can take this initiative on a global scale. For cosmetic, medical devices and food products, as well as technical products with high safety requirements (such as aircraft), management systems beyond supply chain level have now become a matter of survival. The same holds true for products that are subject to special waste and design regulations in Europe (such as automotive vehicles and electronic equipment).

The Scientific Committee on Consumer Products (SCCP) handles questions concerning the safety of consumer products (nonfood products intended for the consumer). In particular, the Committee addresses questions in relation to the safety and allergenic properties of cosmetic products and ingredients with respect to their impact on consumer health, toys, textiles, clothing, personal care products, domestic products such as detergents, and consumer services such as tattooing (EU 2006f). 

The main use of fluorescent dyes is in the coloration of synthetic fibres, especially polyester, polyamide and acrylics in conjunction with elastane fibres, for fashion, leisure and especially sportswear uses. The fluorescent textiles offer not only high design options but also a large degree of safety in use, for instance increasing the visibility of cyclists and runners in busy urban areas.
