APEO Testing

Alkylphenol ethoxylates （APEO）Testing

Alkylphenol ethoxylates are usually used as a wetting agent in textile processing. EU REACH Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 limit nonylphenol (NP) and nonylphenol polyoxyethylene ether (NPEO) emissions. For many years, the NPEO been used as detergents, emulsifiers, wetting agents and dispersants; NP is used as a synthesis NPEO the media. NPEO and NP are highly toxic to aquatic life , water pollutants. They can destroy aquatic hormonal regulation system, resulting in the feminization effect. Widespread concern alkylphenol ethoxylates, octylphenol (OP) and octylphenol poly (ethylene oxide) ether ( OPEO ) .

Nonyl Phenol Ethoxylates

Although the US has not banned the use of detergents based on nonyl phenol ethoxylates (NPEO) and other similar "endocrine disrupting chemicals,” the European Union has, and many brand name leather product manufacturers and retailers have adopted this ban as part of their own specifications.

Using Electrospray Mass Spectroscopy, we are able to determine whether leather contains NPEO, and provide the certification that you need to supply your customers.
