Investigation of Natural Variants for Antimicrobial Finishes in Innerwear A Review Paper for Promotion of Natural Hygiene in Innerwear
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING TRENDS AND TECHNOLOGY - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
This paper gives a review for scope of natural variants in the field of antimicrobial finishes. The main reason of increased interest in this field include: an increased awareness towards personal hygiene, demand for eco friendly finishes and to prevent skin infections, body odour to improve physiological comfort value of garments. The microbial infestation is a common problem especially in natural textiles due to their receptiveness for moisture, dirt, food particles giving scope for microbes growth. In case of innerwear that is next-to-skin the situation becomes more critical. This paper throws light on the present available variants that can be used as antimicrobial finish and how their effect can be evaluated to find out effective variant in terms of performance and durability
