Mögel på Textil -vid import av textila varor / Mold growth in Textiles : during import of textile products

Svennered, Alexandra, Carlson, Jenny January 2012 (has links)
Under lagring och transport av textila varor från Asien kan risken för mögelangrepp vara stor, något som sedan vid uppackning kan vara skadligt för hälsan. Situationen så som det ser ut idag kan medföra stora problem och kostnader hos textilföretag och att hitta möjliga åtgärder för att förebygga skador är därför av stort intresse. För att kartlägga problemen med mögelangrepp på textila material har både informationssökning och praktiskt arbete genomförts. Mögeltillväxt sker då det är gynnsamma betingelser med hänsyn till klimat, näring och syretillgång. För att mögeltillväxt inte ska angripa textila varor finns en rad förebyggande åtgärder som kan vidtas, åtgärder som alla handlar om att göra förutsättningarna på ett eller annat sätt ogynnsamma. Olika textila material angrips olika lätt av mögel men genom att hålla varorna rena från smuts samt ha kontroll över den relativa fuktigheten kan varorna klara sig en längre tid utan att bli angripna. Reglering av den relativa fuktigheten kan göras genom användning av avfuktare eller diverse fuktabsorbenter. Även användning av biocider på varorna i samband med packning kan hämma mögeltillväxten. Textila materials benägenhet till att mögla beror på en rad faktorer och efter den mögelodling som satts igång kunde det konstateras att bomull är det material som lättast angrips. Vid uppackning av mögelskadade varor bör försiktighetsprincipen tillämpas och för att rädda de varor som angripits kan olika saneringsmetoder användas, där olika metoder lämpar sig för olika material. Dock har det visat sig, i studier som gjorts på byggmaterial, att vissa saneringsmetoder medfört en kvarvarande eller ökad toxinhalt efter sanering vilket således innebär att sanering inte alltid gör varorna brukbara. During storage and transport of textiles from Asia, the risk of mold growth is high. When unpacking the affected textiles the mold can be harmful to the health of the workers. Today, mold growth in textiles results in major problems and costs for the textile companies. Therefore, it is of great interest for the companies to find possible measures to prevent damages due to mold growth. In order to fully understand the problems with mold on the textiles, both a literature survey and practical work has been done. Mold growth occurs when there are favorable conditions with regard to climate, nutrients and oxygen. There are some preventative measures that can be taken to deter mold growth, which are all about making the conditions, in one way or another, unfavorable.The ease in which different textiles are attacked by mold varies greatly, but by keeping them clean and controlling the relative humidity, the textiles can last a long time without being attacked. The relative humidity can be controlled by using a dehumidifier or various moisture absorbers. Also, using biocides on fabrics during packing may inhibit mold growth. The propensity of mold growth on textiles depends on several factors. The mold experimentsrevealed that cotton is the most easily attacked material. When unpacking the mold damaged goods, the precautionary principle should be used and to save the textiles that have been attacked, different decontamination methods can be used. Different methods are useful for different materials. However, it has been found in studies of construction materials that some decontamination methods lead to residual or increased toxin levels after the decontamination. This means the decontamination does not always make the products usable. / Program: Textilingenjörsutbildningen

Fuktegenskaper hos Quartzene impregnerat med salter

Buske, Elias January 2012 (has links)
Svenska Aerogel AB has developed the material Quartzene® which is of the typeprecipitated silica and contains calcium - magnesium silicate ((Ca, Mg) SiO3). Thematerial is used for molecular filtration of contaminated air. Qartzene™, which is inpellet form, is porous and has a high internal surface which is a requirement for themolecular filtration. With the use of various impregnations, filtration can affect thedesired outcome. As an example Quartzene® can be impregnated with Potassiumhydroxide and clear the air of Sulfur dioxide, SO2 (Svenska Aerogel AB, n.d).Svenska Aerogel AB has developed Quartzene® further and new areas of application hasarosee, one of these areas is how the material function within dehumidification. Thepurpose of this study is to research and analyze how different impregnation salts effecthow Quartzene® function in terms of moisture absorption and moisture desorption.Quartzene® is a hygroscopic material, which is a material that easily absorbs and exudatesmoisture from the air. Materials with high porosity absorb moisture by adsorption andcapillary condensation. A hygroscopic material strives for equilibrium with ambientenvironment which is illustrated in a sorption curve where moisture absorption is set inrelation to relative humidity. In this study the jar method is used to measure moistureabsorption, this is shown with the use of sorption curves. The jar method uses saturatesalt solutions to create environments whit a set relative humidity. Quartzene® – pellets areplaced in jars and weighed at regular intervals to determine the moisture absorption.The results of this study indicate that impregnations affect the way that Quartzene®function in terms of moisture absorption and moisture desorption. Some of theimpregnations affect the material to absorb more moisture than Quartzene® that has notbeen impregnated, while others affect the material to absorb less moisture. The resultsalso show that sodium – based impregnation gives similar results as Quartzene® that hasnot been impregnated.
