Applications
- Antimicrobial and Odor Control: Chitosan’s natural antimicrobial properties help reduce bacterial growth on textiles, making it valuable for clothing, sportswear, medical textiles, and bedding. It also helps control odor by inhibiting microbial activity.
- Moisture Management: When applied to textiles, chitosan can enhance moisture absorption and retention, making fabrics feel softer and more comfortable.
- Dye Fixation: Chitosan improves dye absorption and retention on fabrics, especially for natural and anionic dyes, reducing the need for harsh chemicals and improving color vibrancy and wash-fastness.
- Biodegradability: Since chitosan is derived from natural sources, it adds eco-friendly properties to textiles, offering a sustainable alternative to synthetic finishes.
- Anti-static and Wrinkle Resistance: Chitosan can reduce static buildup and provide a smoother, wrinkle-resistant finish to fabrics.
