Division 1 FIELD OF APPLICATION

United Kingdom

This method is applicable, after removal of non-fibrous matter, to binary fibre mixtures of:

1..

certain chlorofibres (27), namely certain polyvinyl chloride fibres, whether after-chlorinated or not^f1

with
2..

F1wool (1), animal hair (2 and 3), silk (4), cotton (5), cupro (21), modal (22), viscose (25), acrylic (26), polyamide or nylon (30), polyester (35), polypropylene (37), glass fibre (44), elastomultiester (45), melamine (47), polypropylene/polyamide bicomponent (49) and polyacrylate (50).

When the wool or silk content of the mixture exceeds 25 %, method No 2 shall be used.

When the polyamide or nylon content of the mixture exceeds 25 %, method No 4 shall be used.
