MICOOSON provides material information and technical documentation for customers evaluating Neoprene and related synthetic materials.
For material buyers, chemical testing documentation can help support purchasing decisions and evaluation against specific customer requirements.
MICOOSON has third-party PAHs testing documentation for a submitted sample identified as Neoprene.
The tested component was described as black middle foam. The report covers eight selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
PAHs stands for Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, a group of chemical compounds that may be relevant to the chemical safety assessment of certain materials.
PAHs screening is used to investigate specified substances in submitted samples using laboratory analytical methods.
For Neoprene foam buyers, PAHs testing documentation can provide information about selected chemical substances in a tested material component.
The presence or absence of specified PAHs must be interpreted according to the laboratory's reporting limits and testing scope.
AfPS GS 2019:01 PAK is a testing specification referenced in the laboratory report for the analysis of selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
The submitted Neoprene foam component was tested with reference to AfPS GS 2019:01 PAK using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).
The use of this method does not automatically mean that the product has obtained GS certification.
Buyers should verify the testing scope and applicable requirements for their particular products.
The test documentation identifies the following details:
Report Number: SL92509284252001TX
Report Date: March 13, 2025
Sample Description: Neoprene
Tested Component: Black middle foam
Test Item: Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs)
Reference Test Method: AfPS GS 2019:01 PAK
Analytical Method: GC-MS
Number of Reported PAHs: Eight
Reporting Limit: 0.10 mg/kg for each listed PAH
Reported Requirement: 1 mg/kg for each listed PAH
Overall Conclusion: Pass
The findings relate to the specific submitted component and tested substances.
They should not be interpreted as confirmation that every Neoprene product or component supplied by MICOOSON has the same chemical testing results.
The report includes testing for the following eight substances:
Benzo(a)pyrene (BaP)
Benzo(e)pyrene (BeP)
Benzo(a)anthracene (BaA)
Benzo(b)fluoranthene (BbF)
Benzo(j)fluoranthene (BjF)
Benzo(k)fluoranthene (BkF)
Chrysene (CHR)
Dibenzo(a,h)anthracene (DBA)
All eight substances were reported as ND (Not Detected), with a reporting limit of 0.10 mg/kg for each substance.
The laboratory report records a Pass conclusion for the tested component against the requirements shown in the report.
ND indicates that the substance was not detected at or above the applicable reporting limit. It does not prove that the material contains absolutely no PAHs.
Neoprene materials can contain different layers or components depending on their construction.
Chemical testing results may therefore be specific to a selected component rather than the entire finished material.
When sourcing Neoprene foam materials, buyers should consider:
Material construction and component layers
Foam material specifications
Intended product application
Relevant chemical testing requirements
PAHs screening scope
Individual substance reporting limits
Sample and component identification
Applicable customer requirements
Production batch traceability
Additional testing requirements for other components
The results of laboratory testing should be reviewed together with the specifications of the intended finished product.
No.
PAHs testing provides chemical analytical results for specified substances in a tested sample.
GS certification involves a separate conformity assessment process and cannot be established solely from a PAHs test report.
The available MICOOSON documentation records PAHs test results for a black Neoprene foam component and should not be described as GS product certification.
Customers evaluating Neoprene materials can contact MICOOSON to discuss product specifications, available samples and technical documentation.
Buyers should confirm whether the tested foam component corresponds to the exact material construction and production batch being purchased.
If their project requires evaluation of additional layers or chemicals, separate testing may be necessary.
Yes. MICOOSON has third-party PAHs testing documentation for a submitted Neoprene sample, specifically its black middle foam component.
PAHs stands for Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons.
The laboratory report references AfPS GS 2019:01 PAK, with analysis performed by GC-MS.
The report lists eight selected PAHs.
All eight listed PAHs were reported as ND, with a reporting limit of 0.10 mg/kg.
No. ND means the substances were not detected at or above the specified reporting limits.
No. The report documents specified PAHs testing and does not constitute GS product certification.
The test results refer to the black middle foam component identified in the report. They should not automatically be applied to every layer of the material.
No. It applies to the specific submitted sample and tested component.
Customers can contact MICOOSON to enquire about available material information and testing documentation, subject to applicable report-use restrictions.
