ANNEX VIII U.K. Methods for the quantitative analysis of binary and ternary textile fibre mixtures (referred to in Article 19(1))

CHAPTER 3 U.K.

QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS OF TERNARY TEXTILE FIBRE MIXTURES U.K.

I. General information on methods for the quantitative chemical analysis of ternary fibre mixtures U.K.

I.2. PRINCIPLE U.K.

After the identification of the components of a mixture, the non-fibrous material is removed by suitable pre-treatment and then one or more of the four variants of the process of selective solution described in the introduction is applied. Except where this presents technical difficulties, it is preferable to dissolve the major fibre component so as to obtain the minor fibre component as final residue.
