Identification of fiber is a process to determine the composition of a textile materials.
It is very important in textile sector for dyeing, printing, finishing and caring the textile materials.

FEELING TEST
It is based on the handling properties and do not give accurate result because handling properties can be changed due to applying finishing chemical.

As example cotton gives cooling feel in touch where wool fiber gives warm feel.

BURN TEST
Different fiber shows different burning behavior. But it is difficult to identify fiber when it is blended yarn or fabric.

MICROSCOPE TEST
Microscope test is mostly effective for natural fiber but not for synthetic fiber cause the cross-section of synthetic fiber is not fixed and depend on the shape of spinneret.

CHEMICAL TEST
Chemical test gives the most accurate result than other identification method.Chemical test is divided into two class:-
1. Stain method
2. Solvent method
![Page 20: Textile fiber identification](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58ef868e1a28ab6b038b4643/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
05/02/202320
STAIN METHOD
Stain method is applicable for those fiber which shows special behavior in acid and alkali.
As example, Acetate fiber changes to light green and orange color when acetic acid and sodium carbonate is used respectively.
![Page 21: Textile fiber identification](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58ef868e1a28ab6b038b4643/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

SOLVENT METHOD
Different solvents are used in this method and fiber can be distinguished for their different behavior in different solvent.
![Page 22: Textile fiber identification](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070521/58ef868e1a28ab6b038b4643/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
