Biocydy ekologiczne w ochronie włókien naturalnych. Cz. II

The research on possibility of applying ecological biocides in protection of textiles based on natural fibres was presented. Linen-cotton fabric protected with biocides of plant origin, and linen fabric protected with ionic liquids, belonging to quaternary ammonium, salts, were tested to action of 5 fungi mixtures and bacteria species present on human skin. Applying ecological biocides in finishing processes of natural textile materials allows for obtaining antimicrobial barrier properties, while still maintaining desirable tensile strenth of the protected materials. This improves significatly the product quality and widens the possible applications in various branches of economy, e.g. as textiles using by human, especially applied in medical application.
