DEAS 256:2021, Textiles — Method for determination of scouring loss in grey and finished cotton materials, Second Edition (12 page(s), in English)

This Draft East African Standard describes two methods for determining the scouring loss (loss in mass on scouring) of grey and finished cotton textile materials. The methods apply to grey and finished cotton textile materials wherein only starch or tamarind kernel powder or both, and water-soluble or easily removable finishing agents, such as fats, and china clay have been used and which would normally be removed during the scouring process.
