Popis: | Two environment-friendly short chain fluorocarbons, oleophobol and phobol, were evaluated on cotton fabric. The effect of combination of two fluorocarbons and the combination of oleophobol with zero formaldehyde cross-linker (DHEU) to enhance the performance and durability was also scrutinized. Repellency performance of the treated fabric was appraised by measuring water repellency, oil repellency and contact angle. Washing durability of the finished fabric was also enhanced by the incorporation of the cross-linker (DHEU) into the recipe of oleophobol. The physical and comfort properties of the fabric were also examined by measuring the tensile strength, tear strength and water vapor permeability of the fabric. |
