UV protective finish for cotton-polyester fabrics

The article presents data on the study of textile materials with protective properties against ultraviolet radiation (UV). The study is devoted to the development of new methods for improving the protective properties of textile materials based on mixed cotton/polyester and polyester fibers. Sodium hypophosphite and titanium dioxide were used as functional additives. It has been shown that the treatment of materials with these reagents leads to a significant reduction in the transmission of ultraviolet radiation. The mechanism of action of reagents is related to their ability to absorb and scatter UV radiation. The results of the analysis of the effectiveness of these reagents on textile materials are presented, and a method for their application is developed. The study demonstrates the high efficiency of these materials in reducing the impact of UV rays, which allows us to consider them as promising for use in the textile industry, including for protection against solar radiation. Tests were carried out for the physical and mechanical properties of textile materials to confirm the compliance of products with the established safety standards and quality indicators.
