Textile Bio Processing Using Aloe Gel

Desizing of cotton fabric using aloevera Gel is discussed with practical guide in this book. Using Aloevera Gel as bio thickener for printing of textiles is also the part of the book. Dyed textile samples were produced using reactive dyes using very low salt and the same was compared with normal dyed untreated sample .The K/S value of the both the sample was determined by CCM. Treatment of cotton fabric with aloe gel increases dye uptake of cotton at low salt condition. A new approach to make textiles antimicrobial is incorporating the active principle of aloe gel extract with fabric.
