Effects of Woodfordia Fructicosa Herbal Antibacterial Extract Treatment on Physical Properties of Non-Woven Polyester Fabric Textile

Functional antibacterial treated fabric is in demand due to its excellent properties. However, application of one property should not impair the inherent desirable properties of the fabric. Measurement of the physical & performance properties of the treated fabrics was done to assess the effect of the herbal antibacterial treatments on these properties of the herbal treated fabric viz. fabric weight, fabric thickness, bulk, fabric stiffness, air permeability & wetting. An attempt was made to study the effect of functional herbal extract treatment of Woodfordia fructicosa on fabrics of non-woven polyester covering fabric of sanitary napkins. There was a significant change in the performance properties of the treated polyester fabric.
