FRAGRANCE FINISHING OF TEXTILES-A REVIEW .Every person desires for some change .i.e. something new & unique. The successful effective implementation of change has to be done to in the market. We by the medium of this paper have made an earnest attempt to present you a detailed comprehensive analysis done by fragrance nishing and which has busted this industry with exuberant value added nish with the incorporation of different scents into fabrics, leading to the production of scented fabrics and the psychology of acceptance of synthetic scents in textile goods.
Vishnu Pareek, Nikhil Bhosale, Aayushi Agrawal, Shrikant Eklahare DKTE Society’s Textile & Engineering Institute Ichalkaranji ABSTRACT Fragrance nishing of textile materials has been greatly expanded and used in recent years. Fragrance nishing can be done effectively using exhaust method than any other methods. If the fabric is treated with fragrance agents which exhibits higher durability of functionality is estimated. Fragrance nishing can be done by means of lavender aroma with non-ionic binder. This paper examines the effects of fragrance nished aloe-vera and cotton fabrics. Finally both the fragranced nished fabrics were made into wall hangings and the ambiance of the room was evaluated by comparing various factors. In this investigation, factors such as fabric performance, durability of the fragrance and laundering properties of the treated fabrics were investigated. The fragrance nished fabrics can be used in home textile applications such as wall hangings, table covers, carpets and sofa covers.
T E C H N O LO GY F O R F R A G R A N C E F I N I S H I N G (MICROENCAPSULATION) Microencapsulation is a natural phenomenon and the examples of ideal microcapsules are found in the nature i.e., spores, seeds, eggs and pollen etc only a few to mention. Due to numerous applications of microencapsulation and as a result there are a number of processes developed to encapsulate a galaxy of materials to suit the individual applicability. In the broadest sense, microencapsulation provides a means of packaging, separating and storing solid and liquid materials in a microscopic scale for a later release on your own desire under controlled conditions.

Earlier were the times when sheer competitiveness in the domestic market was very conned. But, during some past years with the emergence of globalization, competitive atmosphere and quality consciousness, has reached a new mark. With the steady improvement in technology & application standards, a gradual rise was observed in consumer demands and to reach up to that mark, manufacturers have to add something to their products to get market value for their products. A product must be able to encompass something more with it & therefore this has taken today’s market to a platform where it seems very difcult for a manufacturer to market his product until he satisfy the consumer with something new which not only rewards him for his novel concept but also lures him with considerable increase in prot . The role of the textile nisher has become increasingly demanding, and now requires a careful balance between the compatibility of different nishing products and treatments and the application processes used to provide textiles with desirable properties. Growing trends and escalating standards leave no stone unturned to boast the current scenario of textile industry. Performance with beauty describes the potential of textile nishing. Fragrance nishing of textiles is one such immaculate magnanimous entry into any textile culture. Fragrance nishing of textiles is the process where we enhance the value of the product by adding some incentives to it. The world market place is continuously changing and so is demand of people changing

The fragrance compound and the essential oil are volatile substances. The most difcult task in preparing the fragrance emitting textile is how to prolong its lifetime of Adour. Microencapsulation is an effective technique to solve this. Microcapsules are minute containers that are normally spherical if they enclose a liquid or gas, and roughly of the shape of the enclosed particle if they contain a solid. It can be considered as a special form of packaging, in that particulate matter can be individually coated for protection against environment and release the volatile substance from the enclosed capsule as required. This property has enabled microcapsules to serve many useful functions and nd applications in different elds of technology. For example, the storage life of a volatile compound can be increased markedly by microencapsuling. The key to aromatic textile is how to make microcapsules of fragrance compounds and essential oils without omitting any ingredient in order to ensure its effects. In addition, using a low-temperature polymer binder to attach a perfumed microcapsule to the surface of the textile is also an important part of preparing an aromatic textile. At the same time, durability in laundering and a soft handle should be carefully considered
