Abstract

Tencel, viscose from bamboo, organic cotton and its blends are getting importance due to its biodegradability but they exhibit deficiency in oil and water repellency performance. In this research an effort has been made to enhance the oil and water repellency as well as washing durability of the tencel-organic cotton blends and viscose from bamboo-organic cotton blends by using environmentally friendly cross linker. C6 based short chain environmentally friendly fluorocarbon successfully incorporate oil and water repellency in the fabrics. However, addition of maleic acid as zero formaldehyde crosslinker with fluorocarbon not only significantly enhanced the washing durability of the oil and water repellency finish but crease recovery and antimicrobial performance were also enriched. Surface of the fabric was examined by using Scanning Electron Microscope.
