ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION
Gone are the days when quality product was the only criterion to
eye a product by a consumer. Earlier were the times when sheer
competitiveness in the domestic market was very confined. But,
during some past years with the emergence of globalization,
competitive atmosphere and quality consciousness, has reached
a new mark. With the steady improvement in technology &
application standards, a gradual rise was observed in consumer
demands and to reach up to that mark, manufacturers have to
add something to their products to get market value for their
products. A product must be able to encompass something more
with it & therefore this has taken today’s market to a platform
where it seems very difficult for a manufacturer to market his
product until he satisfy the consumer with something new which
not only rewards him for his novel concept but also lures him with
considerable increase in profit . The role of the textile finisher has
become increasingly demanding, and now requires a careful
balance between the compatibility of different finishing products
and treatments and the application processes used to provide
textiles with desirable properties.
PREPARATION OF RECIPE
1. Padding Method
o The fabric is padded with above recipe
o Fragrance: 10% of weight of fabric.
o Padding pressure 2kg/cm2
o Dry and cure at 70oC-120°C (1-5 min.)
2. Exhausting
o Prepare the recipe with water up to desired concentration
o Exhaust at 40°C for 20 - 30 min.
o Hydro extract water
o Use Fragrance : 5-10% on weight of fabric
WHY CYCLODEXTRIN?
MECHANISIM OF RELEASING
The releasing of the content from the capsules is one of the interesting aspects of the
wall materials. It is dependent directly on the type of wall material used, the no of
layer present around the core and the concentration of the wall material. However
there are three basic mechanisms through which capsule release the content to
outside. These are
• Diffusion
• Enzymatic digestion
• Surface leaching through chemicals
Diffusion:
It is a purely physical process, which takes place when the capsule content (active
drug) is sufficiently soluble in water and body fluids, and the wall material is insoluble
but permeable. This process could also be called dialytic. Diffusible drugs, the rate
and pattern can be adjusted to accommodate specific requirements by modifying the
composition and thickness of the wall material.
Enzymatic digestion:
Applications
» Cosmeto-textiles
» Aromatherapy Textiles
The uses of aromatherapy textile are diverse. Interior textiles such as sheets, quilt-
covers, curtains, carpets and bed-gowns are suitable for the attachment of lavender,
camomile, citrus or cinnamon microcapsules, which are good for hypnogenesis and
eliminating fatigue. Patients suffering high blood pressure feel sedation when they
use a pillow made of fabric treated with lavender, basil, and lemon or fennel
microcapsules. The tired office clerk wearing clothing with a scent of lemon rose, or
jasmine oil may find his work efficiency improved. Meanwhile, it is convenient for
dermatitis sufferers to be cured with the aid of underwear containing killing gem
fabric. Perfumed toys make it easier for children to get closer to nature. Generally
speaking, varied per-fume fabrics create good opportunities for customers to make
the ‘cocooning’ environment they prefer to live in
» Home Textiles
In other areas, household textiles such as curtains, sofas, cushions, sheets, as well
as apparel items such as gloves, socks and ties may also be treated with
microencapsulated fragrance and deodorizing finishes. The carpets can be finished
with fragrances of different kinds and can be widely used in home textiles as well as
automotive textiles.
» Sport Wears
As the ‘second skin’ of the human body, all types of textile are excellent media for
transferring fragrance compounds, and are essential to people in sport according to
their preference for them. The type of the fragrance necessary for sports wear may
be orange, lemon which will keep them energized on the ground for longer period.
» Apparel
The scents of lavender, rose, citrus or vanilla were encapsulated into fabrics, which
proved a good way to meet important psychological and emotional needs, as well as
those of a purely physical and sensorial nature. Thus the fabrics finished with above
fragrances can be used in apparels, leisure wear, daily wears, party wears etc.
CONCLUSION
The creation of value added fabrics not only represents an academic advance in the
textile industry, but will also bring convenience to our lives. The fragrance finished
textiles are very new in the current market and they have gained the much more
importance in day to day life. The above stated applications give us further
encouragement to explore fragrant fabrics by microencapsulation. It avoids
technological difficulties and enables the manufacture of fragrance finished products
to be done significantly, less ex-pensively. The growth of the athletic apparel product
category and the extension of intimate apparel into every-day “body wear” offer new
opportunities for applying this technology to a fabric in the finishing stage.
