Description

Clothing has always got significant importance in human civilization as it has played central role to symbolize the culture, technical ability as well as the artistic taste of a particular society. With the improvement of modern science and technology, now clothing is not just bound to cover the human body. The improvement of Textile science has shown significant improvements in clothing for last few decades. Chemical finishing on textile goods is one of the ways to improvement as it conforms a fabric to be used in versatile way in an easy but effective method. In this analysis an approach has been made to find out the effective way to produce mosquito repellant fabric by means of chemical finish. This study concludes the common ways to produce mosquito repellant finish and imparting it. An approach of applying microencapsulation on the fabric to make the chemical finish longer, even after 70 washes has added a great value of the study. Internationally recognized testing methods have made this study fruitful to find the effective mosquito repellant finish among the chemical and herbal process. Major aspects like construction of fabric, washing, shade variation, smell, cost, and eco friendliness has been taken in consider carrying out the study. This study will give an idea about the practical application of the mosquito repellant finishing on different products. This study will make chemical finish step ahead to make chemical finish familiar as well as it will be an effective action against irritating and diseases spreading mosquitos and other insects.
