Anti-germ and Hygiene Finishing of Textiles for Human Health and Safety

Shriyasha Tari, Ashok Athalye

The recent COVID-19 pandemic has explained the need for antigerm finish for textiles used by frontline healthcare and hospitality workers. Apart from the hospitality industry and hygiene wear, other textile applications have essential anti-microbial, anti-bacterial, antiviral or anti-fungal finishes. Military uniforms worn by soldiers in extreme conditions, intimate clothing like undergarments, socks, sportswear used by athletes and players, surgical wound dressings used in medical textiles, filters used in air and water purification systems, home furnishing fabrics are other application areas for anti-germ finishes.
