Overview

ISO 1833-20:2018 is an international standard established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that specifies a quantitative chemical analysis method for determining the mass percentage of elastane in textile mixtures. This method utilizes dimethylacetamide (DMA) as the key solvent to dissolve elastane fibres from mixtures containing elastane combined with specific other fibres. The standard applies to textiles comprising elastane mixed with cotton, viscose, cupro, modal, lyocell, polyamide, polyester, or wool fibres, but explicitly excludes textiles containing acrylic fibres.

This method is critical for manufacturers, quality control laboratories, and textile researchers requiring accurate composition analysis in elastane-containing fabrics. It offers a reliable, reproducible test procedure that ensures compliance with product specifications and supports consistent quality assurance in textile production.

Key Topics

  • Scope: Defines applicability for textiles composed of elastane and selected fibre blends, excluding acrylic fibres, with alternative test options available through ISO 1833-12 and ISO 1833-21 for other mixtures.
  • Principle: Elastane is selectively dissolved from a known dry mass of the textile sample using DMA. The remaining fibres form a residue which is filtered, washed, dried, and weighed. The elastane content is calculated by difference from the initial mass.
  • Reagents and Safety: Use of dimethylacetamide (DMA) demands strict safety precautions due to its hazardous nature - proper handling protocols are emphasized.
  • Apparatus Requirement: Standard laboratory equipment such as conical flasks with stoppers and heating apparatus capable of maintaining 60-65 °C temperatures is necessary.
  • Test Procedure: Involves soaking the textile specimen in DMA, maintaining temperature conditions, filtering and washing residues, followed by precise mass measurement.
  • Calculation and Results: Results are expressed as the percentage of elastane by mass after correcting for non-fibrous matter. Specific correction factors (d-values) are applied for wool (1.01) and cotton (1.02).
  • Precision: The method offers high accuracy with confidence limits not exceeding ±1% at a 95% confidence level on homogeneous samples.

Applications

ISO 1833-20:2018 serves a broad range of practical applications in the textile industry:

  • Quality Control: Enables manufacturers to verify the elastane content in blended textiles, ensuring product consistency and compliance with labeling requirements.
  • Material Research: Assists textile scientists in analyzing fibre blends for development and innovation of elastane-containing fabrics.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Supports adherence to international textile standards and regulations related to fibre composition disclosure.
  • Supply Chain Transparency: Facilitates accurate fibre content disclosure for suppliers and buyers, improving traceability and trust in textile products.
  • Troubleshooting: Helps resolve discrepancies in fabric performance by precisely identifying elastane content variation.

Related Standards

To ensure comprehensive textile analysis, ISO 1833-20:2018 complements and references other critical standards:

  • ISO 1833-1: General principles of chemical testing for textile composition analysis.
  • ISO 1833-12: Method for analysing mixtures of elastane and acrylic fibres.
  • ISO 1833-21: Alternative procedures for mixtures containing certain elastane fibres.
  • ISO 2076: Defines generic names for man-made fibres.
  • ISO 6938: Provides generic names and definitions for natural textile fibres.

These related standards collectively provide a complete framework for the quantitative chemical analysis of textiles, accommodating a wide variety of fibre blends and methodologies.


By adhering to ISO 1833-20:2018, textile industry stakeholders gain access to a precise, standardized method to determine elastane content in multi-fibre textiles, supporting effective quality management and product integrity in global markets. This empowers manufacturers, laboratories, and researchers with reliable data critical to innovation and compliance in the dynamic textiles sector.
