Abstract

Antibacterial fabric manufacturing is a challenging task in textile industries. The fabric is the right living place for the bacteria, and it acts as a medium between the human and bacteria. The textile industries are concentrated more on antibacterial fabric manufacturing because it will increase the quality of fabrics and increase product sales. This paper proposes the benzalkonium chloride-based antibacterial fabric manufacturing in textile industries. This kind of antimicrobial agent provides better protection against bacteria for a long time. And also, it does not spoil the quality of fabrics like shrinking and tearing.

Keywords
