8. FRAGANCE FINISHES

8. FRAGRANCE FINISHES:

These are microencapsulated formulations of various fragrances like musk, pineapple, rose, lavender, jasmine, lemon, peppermint etc. which are applied on the fabric with the help of a binder. They impart fragrance when applied in this fashion.

Much of work is concerned with the microencapsulation of fragrance oils, e.g. perfumes and aromatics. The FOLCOScent® brand offers a wide range of technically mature products for scent marketing activities.

Bayer chemicals, a division of Germany-based Bayer AG, recently introduced Bayscent® microencapsulated aromatherapy products to the marketplace. The product features fragrances of Bayscent Neutralizer enclosed in a patented polyurethane microcapsule largely impermeable to diffusion. Fragrances range from fruity to flowery, while the neutralizer is designed to eliminate unpleasant odors.

Textile problem areas subjected to a high degree of stress in treaking mountaineering biling gear or sportswear, such as shoulders, knees and elbows, can be equipped with special more wear resistant fluorocarbon types.

Very soft fluorine polymers are available for woven microfibre fabrics which are very sensitive to harshness of handle due to finishing.

The polymer is modified with especiallysoft monomer components which have a so called “hinge action” in such a way that the film which these FC polymers form on the fiber is very soft.
