TEXTILE FINISH

CLASSIFICATION OF FINISHES
 FRAGRANCE FINISH

INTRODUCTION

Now days it is possible apply fragrance in Textile by Printing and Finishing Method. Generally,
Fragrance is volatile in nature, evaporates easily in atmospheric temperature but by using
different techniques or by treating fragrance applied textile for different temperature then it is
possible to keep fragrance in textile for a long time.

When the fabric gets abraded with our body, the Fragmatic or aromatic atoms are broken out
and produce fragrance odor. Finally, the developed product has been subjected to perfume or
aromatic finish. Hence, the finish has Called as Fragrance finish. Fragrance Finish is Finish
which apply on textile with fragrance or fragrance is added during of Printing or Finishing
process.

Recently, fragrances have become available that can be readily added on the textiles and after
finishing and fixation; they emit a pleasant fragrance which is sometimes used as a medicine
renowned with the term of “Aroma-chology”.

Fragrance finishing of textiles is the process where we enhance the value of the product by
adding some incentives to it. The world market place is continuously changing and so is
demand of people changing. Every person desire for some change.i.e. something new &
unique.

Generally speaking, varied perfumed fabrics create good opportunities for customers to make
the ‘cocooning’ environment they prefer to live in. In other areas, household textiles such as
curtains, sofas, cushions, sheets, as well as apparel items such as gloves, socks and ties may
also be treated with microencapsulated fragrance and deodorizing finishes. The carpets can be
finished with fragrances of different kinds and can be widely used in home textiles as well as
automotive textiles. The fabric production rate is very tremendous and the market has limited
scope which can be multiplied by value added finishing to textiles like fragrance finish which
counts more value in the current scenario of market.

The fragrance finish was applied along with Solusoft finish and Beewell finish which is a
softner and wellness finish. Three type of perfumes were used in this finishing method namely
Rose, Mogara and Dove. All fragrances ware alcohol free fragrance so when fragrance applied
to fabric, it remains on fabric but not for a long time.

The fragrance finished textiles are very new in the current market and they have gained the
much more importance in day-to-day life. Fragrance remains for some time in textile substrate.
After five wash or ten wash effect of fragrance gets decreased

NATURAL SOURCES THROUGH WHICH FRAGRANCE FINISH CAN

 TECHNIQUES

Fragrances play an important in revitalizing the mind and the body. Addition of fragrances to
textiles has been there for many years in the form of fabric conditioners for the purpose of
washing and while tumble drying. These products were designed to impart fresh aroma to the
textiles treated with it, but could not retain the fragrances for a long time.

This became possible only with the advent of the microencapsulation technology in textiles. It
is an effective method used to control the discharge properties of active ingredients that
lengthens the effect of fragrances. Microencapsulation is the technique where small solid
particles, liquid droplets, or minute bubbles of gas are coated, and when certain amount or
pressure is exerted or the surface is scratched, it releases the compounds inside the capsules.

Currently microencapsulation is used in textiles for anti-bacterial treatments, UV protection,

for moisturizing and skin treatments, body temperature regulation, repellence, and for perfume
or fragrance releases. The application of the technique for fragrance releases however is of high
demand.

he core substances enclosed in the capsule are released instantly on the fabric or textile material,
when a mechanical movement such as abrasion, deformation, and friction occurs, and
ultimately the active agents are released on the skin. There are various methods and techniques
of microencapsulation which involves tiny solid, liquid, or gas particles which are between 50
nm and 2 mm, and are covered with a natural or synthetic polymeric membrane. The smaller
the capsules, the greater will be the covering of the product, and consequently longer the
fragrances would last.
The material that is encapsulated is called the fill, internal phase or core material. The outer
wall that encloses the fill is called the shell or the coating. Various materials are used in coating
like modified polysaccharides, gums, lipids, protein m

T aterials, and a lot of synthetic polymers. Using a particular type of core material and the
coating depends on the method used for micro-encapsulation of fragrances.

The following are a few techniques of micro-encapsulation of fragrances in textiles-:

• In situ polymerization: It is a chemical microencapsulation process in which the shell

formation occurs due to a polymerization process and takes places only in the outer
membrane of the capsule, without adding any reagents in the core material.

• Emulsion cross linking: This process is a frequently used method for the preparation of
protein and polysaccharide based microcapsules. It can be used for solid active agents
as well as soluble or insoluble liquids. The emulsion is of single type when the core
material is water-soluble and double when it is hydrophobic.

• Coacervation: Coacervation is another frequently used physiochemical process of

micro encapsulation. The concept is based on the ability of cationic and anionic water
soluble polymers, which interact to form a liquid polymer rich phase called coacervate
complex. There are two types of separation mechanisms; one is the simple way, where
the polymer is formed by either changing the temperature, or by electrolytes action, or
by desolvation; the other complex way is forming a polymer by oppositely charged
polyelectrolyte. The polymer structures in this form of a process have low molecular
mass and weak mechanical resistance.

• Polyurethane Urea (PUU): Apart from these commercial processes; Polyurethanes are
also used for microencapsulation of fragrances since it is the most versatile material in
the world today. The thermal and chemical stability and the simplicity of preparation
of PUU, have lead to its increased importance in the market for encapsulation.
Moreover, it also provides environment friendly solution.
Many luxurious brands like Hermes and Lancme have made silk scarves, ties, and even lingerie
that release fragrances through encapsulation. Companies have produced fresh smelling sheets,
towels, and even garments in fruity smells like orange and apples.

A path breaking innovation using microencapsulation of fragrances in textiles has been used
for treating cancer patients. The company has designed head scarves and turbans that have
aromatherapy oils, which have a therapeutic value and are aimed to treat cancer patients.
Garments for children using oil extracts from the chrysanthemum plant have been used for
microencapsulation made to repel mosquitoes. Whether it is for energizing, rejuvenating, for
stress-relieving or healing scented textiles have immense possibilities and a growing
market.The integration of fragrances and aromatherapy in textiles is a user-friendly and novel
idea. Even though the microencapsulation technology is relatively new, the efficacy is
satisfactory and the application of fragrances is seeing new avenues of utilization in textiles.
