Further information
Fiber finish The fiber product itself is not toxic. It may, however, contain up to 1.2% of a fiber finish. If the product is intended for special applications, e.g. in the food industry, please consult the manufacturer prior to application. So far no impairment of health has become known in cases where the product has been used for its intended application. The applied fiber finish may evaporate or decompose in cases where the product is heat-treated at temperatures of 266-374°F (130-190°C). If water is used for further treatment, the waste water generated by the process must be treated in a water purification plant in compliance with local regulations. Residual solvents: none. Fibers and yarns are generally provided with finishes to facilitate processing. If necessary, these finishes, and also coning oils or sizing agents, can generally be removed in an aqueous medium.
