The degradation of undyed yarns of viscose rayon, cellulose (secondary) acetate rayon, and nylon 6.6, both free from and containing titanium dioxide (anatase), has been studied at different temperatures. The degradation in moist air is particularly marked at high temperatures. A possible reaction mechanism for the sensitizing effect of titanium dioxide is discussed.
