The aim of this research was, therefore, to investigate the relationship between the absorption of 290 to 400 nm of wavelength using five fabrics, treated with several concentrations of UV absorbers extracted from pine wood, and their blocking properties against UV-rays. The air permeability of samples was determined using a Karl Schröder apparatus, and UPF, UVA, UVB values were measured by a Cary 50 spectrophotometer (Varian). The obtained results indicate that the fabrics’ structural parameters, and concentrations of the absorbers are in correlation with the UV absorbing capacity.
F.05 Ability to launch new technological development cycle
COBISS.SI-ID: 13239318Ultrasonic energy as a means of accelerating mass transfer in textile materials has been attempted in recent years. This study concerns that use of ultrasound as a supportive process to the conventional desizing, scouring, washing, dyeing, and waste water treatment. These new technologies will help to improve the management of material flows, increase energy-efficiency and cut emissions in the textile industry.
