Garment and Textile Dye Industry Gas Detection Solutions: Nexisense SGA Series Applications

Textile dye processing, from fiber bleaching and dyeing to finishing, relies heavily on chemical auxiliaries and dyes, which emit formaldehyde (HCHO), a hidden hazard. Low-cost dyes and resin adhesives contain high formaldehyde, and bleaching/dyeing releases ppm-level gases. Contact with over-limit fabrics causes skin allergies, immune suppression, and respiratory discomfort; long-term exposure may impair adult function and increase leukemia risk in children. National standards GB 18401 and GB/T 17592 set strict limits (A-class infant products ≤20mg/kg), yet over-limit incidents persist, highlighting monitoring gaps. Workshops are crowded, humid, and dusty, making manual testing slow. 24-hour online monitoring and periodic inspection have become safety baselines.

As a full-chain gas detection provider, Nexisense offers 1000+ customization options, covering modules to systems. This article analyzes dyeing risks and provides selection, integration, and case guidance for textile companies and system integrators.

Formaldehyde Risks and Monitoring Scenarios in Textile Dyeing

Formaldehyde risks stem from resin crosslinkers and reducing dyes; high-temperature bleaching accelerates emission, with workshop concentrations easily exceeding 0.1mg/m³. GBZ 2.1 occupational exposure limits 8h TWA ≤0.1mg/m³; exceeding causes skin and respiratory damage. Poor ventilation and fabric stacking aggravate accumulation, especially in children's clothing.

SGA-500 series is installed at dye vat exhausts or fabric racks, tracking 0-10ppm HCHO with low-threshold pre-warning. SGA-600 portable is used for inspecting finishing machines/packaging lines; probe reaches 1.5m pipelines, quickly locating sources.

An East China textile dye workshop integrated SGA-500 HCHO with PLC; over-limit triggered ventilation, stabilizing concentrations<0.08mg/m³, reducing employee health anomalies by 60%. Another garment company used SGA-600 for finished product inspection, achieving 95% compliant fabric residuals, meeting EU REACH standards.

Product Selection Guide

Selection must match concentration range, sampling method, and environment. SGA-500 online fixed type recommended for bleaching/finishing areas: diffusion for open workshops, pump for closed vats; HCHO range 0-10ppm, resolution 0.01ppm, threshold 0.1mg/m³. SGA-600 portable suitable for inspection; internal data storage exportable as CSV for multi-point rapid screening.

Environment: humid workshops need corrosion-resistant probes; dusty finishing areas require pre-filters. Nexisense NIST-traceable calibration, zero drift <±1%FS/month, lifespan 2-3 years. Budget: online $700-1000/unit, portable $300-500/unit. ROI: health protection + compliance avoidance, payback 12-18 months.

System Integration Considerations

Integration emphasizes compatibility and response. SGA-500 supports Modbus RTU (9600bps), 4-20mA (<500Ω load), RS-485 bus, compatible with Siemens PLC or MES. SGA-600 exports via USB, supports Excel analysis.

Linkage: dry contact relay (30VDC/2A) drives valves/sprayers, dual-threshold +5%FS hysteresis. Power 24VDC (ripple<100mV), SGA-800 manages multi-point supply. Wiring: AWG22 shielded <1200m, isolation prevents loops.

Software supports batch parameter deployment, OPC UA trend export. FAT/SAT includes EMC and stability tests, uptime >99%. These measures convert monitoring into closed-loop control within 10-15 days.

FAQ

1. Which gases does Nexisense SGA monitor in garment and textile dye industry?
Primarily formaldehyde (HCHO, 0-10ppm, high-selectivity electrochemical), supporting TVOCs (0-100ppm PID) and other dye auxiliaries (NH₃ 0-100ppm, benzene derivatives 0-50ppm). Single or multi-channel, customized per process stage: bleaching/finishing HCHO+TVOC, dyeing reduction NH₃, finished area low-concentration benzene. Cross-interference evaluation ensures accuracy in humid, dusty, fiber-laden workshops, compliant with GB 18401 and GB/T 17592.

2. How to choose between diffusion and pump sampling?
