FAILURE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS MAY AND WILL CAUSE HARM, Tri Star Overseas is in no way responsible for mishaps/damage caused to the viewers and practitioners
Things that you will be needing to perform the silk burn test:
1) The silk product you will be using to perform the test (silk scarf, silk saree, silk tie)
2) A lighter/matchstick, (to burn the silk threads)
3) A pair of clipping scissors, (tweezers will work just fine)
4) A safe environment to perform the test (you don’t want to burn anything else and cause damage)
Steps to perform silk burn test:
1) Using scissors extract two or three silk threads (preferably, horizontal/warp threads) from the fabric carefully using the scissors from the farthest edge of the fabric.
2) Twist the threads you’ve just extracted to form a manageable tassel or a bunch.
3) Place the threads onto the scissors or pliers and keep it away from your body, loose clothing and flammable objects.
4) Now, Carefully ignite the threads using the lighter while observing the smell and burning pattern.
5) The threads should give a smell similar to that of burnt human hair because both silk and hair are made from protein.
6) Genuine Silk will only burn as long as the source of flame is in contact with it.
7) The residue formed will get crushed into fine ash upon lightly pressing it.
8) On the other hand, polyester or other synthetic (man-made) threads are flammable (unlike silk).
9) Polyester catches fire and burns completely while giving smell similar to that of burnt plastic or paper.
10) The residue will form a molten glob with a black smoke and cannot be crushed into fine ash.
11) Also, if the silk is a blend of polyester, cotton, modal viscose or other synthetic fibers it will still burn into a molten ball of plastic.
12) Blends show similar characteristics to that of fake silk.
