Abstract
This study aims to develop uniform fabrics for different industrial environments. The study also saw the types and effects of microbes as well as chemicals used to protect the uniform fabrics against their attack under the environment of different corporate industries. This work reports the influence of Alkoxy alkylsilyl dimethyl octadecyl ammonium chloride on anti-bacterial properties of cotton (C), polyester/cotton (P/C) and polyester/viscose (P/V) blended fabric samples. Fabric samples were treated with silane modified dimethyl octadecyl quaternary ammonium chloride compound by the pad-dry-cure method. The influence of this treatment on treated fabrics in terms of antimicrobial activity was measured as per AATCC 100 quantitative method. Improvement in the anti-bacterial activity was observed for all the fabric samples but the improvement in cotton fabric is worth mentioning. This work is a sincere attempt to prepare hygienic common textiles at economical rates using continuous application technique which offers durable efficacy against the human pathogenic bacterium.
