With growing concerns over the use of hazardous substances in textile waterproofing treatments, this study investigates the potential of natural and synthetic resins as safer alternatives to harmful fluorinated compounds that pose risks to human health. An eco-friendly process was employed to treat cotton fabric using various resin formulations. The chemical compositions of three distinct resins were analyzed using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). These resins were designed to enhance the hydrophobic properties of the textile, thereby improving water resistance. To assess the effectiveness and durability of the treatments, static contact angle measurements were performed, with results exceeding 100°, indicating good water repellency. In addition, mechanical properties, morphological analyses and color fastness evaluation, including wash, crock, and light fastness, confirmed that the treatment provided good durability and stability over time. The findings suggest that the treated fabrics, exhibiting both water repellency and durability, have strong potential for diverse applications in textile product manufacturing.

摘要

With growing concerns over the use of hazardous substances in textile waterproofing treatments, this study investigates the potential of natural and synthetic resins as safer alternatives to harmful fluorinated compounds that pose risks to human health. An eco-friendly process was employed to treat cotton fabric using various resin formulations. The chemical compositions of three distinct resins were analyzed using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). These resins were designed to enhance the hydrophobic properties of the textile, thereby improving water resistance. To assess the effectiveness and durability of the treatments, static contact angle measurements were performed, with results exceeding 100°, indicating good water repellency. In addition, mechanical properties, morphological analyses and color fastness evaluation, including wash, crock, and light fastness, confirmed that the treatment provided good durability and stability over time. The findings suggest that the treated fabrics, exhibiting both water repellency and durability, have strong potential for diverse applications in textile product manufacturing.
