Arylamines, a group of chemicals used in dyes and pigments, play a significant role in the textile and leather industry. While they enhance vibrant colors and durable finishes, certain arylamines can pose serious health risks. Some are known to be carcinogenic, raising concerns for both workers in production and consumers wearing dyed textiles and leather goods.     At OEKO-TEX®, we prioritize safety and sustainability by rigorously testing for harmful chemicals. Through certifications like OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100, we help brands and manufacturers ensure their products meet highest safety standards, reducing exposure to hazardous substances.

Bisphenols, including Bisphenol A (BPA), are chemicals commonly used in the textile and leather industries, particularly in the production of coatings and dyes. These substances are known for their potential to disrupt hormones, harm human health and impact wildlife. Due to their persistence in the environment, bisphenols pose long-term risks, especially in products that come into direct contact with skin, such as clothing, footwear and accessories.     OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 ensures that products are tested for bisphenols and values are within strict limits, protecting consumers and the environment.    Learn more about how we can support you in this transition in the link below:   https://lnkd.in/dH2n38Rg    #Bisphenols #ChemicalSafety #TextileIndustry #LeatherIndustry #Sustainability
