Benefits of Antimicrobial Textiles:
A wide range textile product is now
available for the benefit of the consumer. Initially, the primary objective of
the finish was to protect textiles from being affected by microbes particularly
fungi. Uniforms, tents, defence textiles and technical textiles, such as,
geotextiles have therefore all been finished using antimicrobial agents. Later,
the home textiles, such as, curtains coverings, and bath mats came with
antimicrobial finish.
The application of the finish is now
extended to textiles used for outdoor, healthcare sector, sports and leisure.
Novel technologies in antimicrobial finishing are successfully employed in
non-woven sector especially in medical textiles. Textile fibres with built-in
antimicrobial properties will also serve the purpose alone or in blends with
other fibres. Bioactive fibre is a modified form of the finish which includes
chemotherapeutics in their structure, i.e. synthetic drugs of bactericidal and
fungicidal qualities. These fibres are not only used in medicine and health
prophylaxis applications but also for manufacturing textile products of daily
use and technical textiles. The field of application of the bioactive fibres
includes sanitary materials, dressing materials, surgical threads, materials
for filtration of gases and liquids, air conditioning and ventilation,
constructional materials, special materials for food industry, pharmaceutical
industry, footwear industry, clothing industry, automotive industry etc.
