Fragrance finishing of cellulosic fabrics

Abstract EN

This work deals with terry towels treatment by using Reactive β-cyclodextrin to produce fragrance fabrics.

Factors affecting on the performance properties (nitrogen content, towel wettability, braking strength and elongation) of towels such as βcyclodextrin concentration, curring temperature, durability (washing) and storage time are studied.

The obtained results by One-Way ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) and correlation coefficients show that the treatment of the fabric occurred by Reactive β-cyclodextrin concentration 30% , curring temperature 140 °C for 2 minutes, the percent loss of the fragrance was 18% and 55% after 20 washing cycles and 90 days respectively.
