Résumé : |
Functionalization of textiles in the finishing and care processes is an outstanding topic today. Ultraviolet (UV) protective properties of textiles can be improved by the implementation of fluorescent compounds in the finishing and laundering processes. The investigation described is focused on the addition of a fluorescent whitening agent (FWA) and an UV absorber (UVA) during frequent laundering of bleached and pastel colored polyester/cotton fabrics in the reference ECE detergent at 40°C. The effect of the UVA containing detergent includes improved whiteness of bleached textiles and excellent UV protection properties during multiple cycles. The bleaching performance of the FWA is similar in offering good UV protection. In the case of the pastel colored fabrics after the launderings, UV protection is excellent too, but the negative impact of the fluorescent compounds on the changes in shade is evident. |
