Abstract
The following agents were employed to make cloths soft and anti-bacterial.
Sanitizer Sanitized-SQ®……S
Sanitized-SPG®……SX
Permachem ®……P
Softener Ginsoft-66®……G6
Ginsoft-99®……G9
Twenty-three kinds of processed cloths were prepared by combining different agents and by using different ways of processing.
The findings were as follows :
(1) Better effects are produced in both sanitizing and softening when softening processing is given before sanitizing processing.
(2) When a softener and sanitizer (S) or (SX) are used, antibacterial effect does not depend on the order of the processing.
(3) The effect of the softener is not reduced by the use of the sanitizer.
(4) When the cloth processed with (S) is dipped in diaper-detergent solution containing chlorine bleaching agent, it yellows, but the cloth processed with (P) does not show any change in color.
(5) The cloth processed either by (SX) → (G6) combination or (S) → (G9) combination does not get wet as easily as unprocessed cloth.
