Hygienic textile materials become popular among consumers




Textiles, with large surface area such as carpets, apparels etc, under certain temperature and moisture conditions become vulnerable for microorganism growth. These microorganisms are not only harmful to human beings, causing various infections and diseases; but also lead to undesirable effects on textiles such as discoloration, odour and reduced strength of material.
Antimicrobial chemicals help to control the growth of microorganisms in textiles as well as maintain their physical strength. Use of antimicrobial chemicals in textiles have been known from long times, but recent research and development has brought superior antimicrobial chemicals in the market which can be used easily with high effectiveness in all application sectors, including indoor, outdoor, apparels, technical and industrial textiles.
Antimicrobial chemicals are used in textiles in two different stages ie., during the spinning and during the finishing of textile process. In order to decrease health risks associated with infections from microorganisms, textile manufacturers are increasingly using antimicrobial chemicals in their products.
Owing to superior physical and biological characteristics that antimicrobial chemicals impart, textile manufacturers are also found to have been using them as their marketing strategy and the market for these chemicals in the textile industry is expected to increase at a significantly high CAGR over the forecast period (2016-2026).
