The YG(B)201G Formaldehyde tester for textiles is a unique analytical instrument designed to detect the formaldehyde content in textiles. Formaldehyde is used in textiles for several functions mainly related to durability, wrinkle resistance, and shrink control. However, high exposure to fabric can cause respiratory issues and allergic reactions. So, measuring the formaldehyde content is crucial to maintaining a person’s safety and well-being.

The tester operates based on spectrometric analysis by cutting the sample fabric into small pieces to maximize the surface area. These pieces are placed into sealed containers with any extraction solvent. By heating this at a constant temperature, formaldehyde in the sample will dissolve, and the solution is extracted, which is mixed with a chromogenic reagent that gives color. The color change shows the amount of formaldehyde in the sample fabric. Then, the tester measures the absorbance of this color using optical sensors, and the formaldehyde concentration is calculated.

Key Features

Quick working: The tester can simultaneously measure the absorbance value of formaldehyde and its content in the sample fabric by the extraction method, reducing time and human effort.

Multifunctional analysis: This tool is equipped with multiple functions, such as displaying the relationship between absorbance and wavelength in the form of a curve and also determining how much light is absorbed by formaldehyde-reacted solution, which helps in determining the content of the fabric.

Multi-station automation: The tester contains a highly precise spectrophotometer structure, with four stations and an automatic testing system that minimizes manual effort and ensures accurate and rapid formaldehyde detection.

Output display: Results can be shown with a color touch screen, and real-time data can be printed using a printer.
