Abstract

For the body to remain comfortable, the surface moisture must be transferred away from the skin, or it will lead to a buildup of sweat on the skin’s surface and interfere with the body’s natural cooling mechanism and cause composition of bacteria. The growth of microbes on textiles during use and storage negatively affects the wearer as well as the textile itself. The detrimental effects can be controlled by durable antimicrobial finishing of the textile as nano zinc oxide and bulk titanium dioxide, which also affect the problem of UV radiation to the body skin and prevent degradation of the natural leather due to the exposure to solar UVR.
This article shows the experimental results for antimicrobial finishing, ultra violet protection efficacy before and after washing, and the results were analyzed by using Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy to shows the alterations on the treatments of natural goat leather and blended woven fabric 50%cotton, 50% polyester using nano zinc oxide and bulk titanium dioxide separately by using Pad –Dry –Cure method under tension.
