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 u sed as antimicrobial finish and how their effect can be evaluated to find out effective variant in terms of performance and durability.
