Antibacterial textiles is a bacteriostatic and bactericidal properties of new functional fabrics.It is through the surface of the fabric antibacterial constituents of contact bactericidal or bacteriostatic fabric surface microorganisms, thereby achieving long-term health, safety purposes.His health self-cleaning function can effectively reduce the cross infection, and free from cleaning, cleaning and other complicated labor.Its production method is often used in ordinary materials to add or compounding one or several specific antimicrobial composition (antimicrobial) prepared antibacterial fabrics.
Although antimicrobial textiles variety, but its production process can be divided into three types.
1 blend spinning
Blend spinning of fibers in production stages of polymerization or spinning solution adding antibacterial agents antibacterial fiber, prepared, and then using antibacterial deodorant fibers directly into the textile antibacterial fabric method.The method has the advantage of no need for finishing, low cost.
2 functional whole Barber
Functional finishing method is the use of antibacterial finishing agent for textile finishing method.After finishing, antibacterial agent in combination with the fibers, so that the textile with antibacterial function.This method can produce a pure natural fiber or chemical synthetic fiber products, can also produce the blended fiber products, wide adaptability.
3 composite processing method
Composite processing method is first to antimicrobial agents joined the spinning material made of antibacterial fiber, and then using antibacterial deodorant fiber and ordinary fiber blended or interwoven into the fabric, the dyeing and finishing process can join and ordinary fiber with antibacterial finishing agent, and then made into various anti bacteria textiles.
Based on a large amount of antibacterial fiber and fabric of the comparative experiments, confirmed the anti-bacterial cotton fabric antibacterial durability significantly better on the antimicrobial synthetic fiber.Analysis of the reasons, mainly due to synthetic fiber core had antimicrobial agents do not migrate to the fiber cortex, not to the antibacterial effect.At the same time antibacterial agent content can not be too large, otherwise it will seriously affect the antimicrobial synthetic fiber physical index.Thus, greatly limiting antimicrobial synthetic fiber antibacterial effect and scope of application.The best way to solve the problem is to make the skin core structure of antibacterial fiber -- namely in the cortex to antimicrobial agents, the core layer is ordinary fiber.Therefore, widely used antibacterial textiles are made by finishing method, approximately 80% of the total.
