Abstract
A process, and the resultant product. for effectively binding plant-based materials to various fabrics to provide for antimicrobial effect of the fabric. The fabrics and methods will typically maintain microbial reduction characteristics even after repeated laundering.
Claims16
A method of forming an antimicrobial fabric, the method comprising:
- providing an aqueous solution comprising from 0.01% to 1% tea tree oil, from 0.1% to 5% citric acid, from 0.5% to 15% of a binder, and at least 75% water, by weight;
- exposing a fabric to said aqueous solution for a period of time;
- and
- drying said fabric after said exposing.
1 more element
The method of claim 11 wherein said wet process comprises a continuous “Pad-Dry” process.
An antimicrobial fabric comprising:
- interconnected synthetic fibers;
- said interconnected synthetic fibers having been exposed to an aqueous solution comprising an aqueous solution comprising from 0.02% to 1% tea tree oil, from 0.1% to 5% citric acid, from 0.5% to 15% of a binder, and at least 75% water, by weight for a period of time and then dried.
