Abstract

In this study 100 %cotton denim fabric was treated with herbal combinations of Amanakku, Amman Paccharisi and Avaram by dip method, micro-encapsulation and nano-encapsulation by pad dry cure technique. The treated fabric was analyzed for the change in Wicking behavior of 10, 20, and 30 washes using T test. The results of the experimental study suggested that wicking abilities of finishing techniques did not have any say in the warp direction whereas; the microencapsulation enhanced the wickability in the weft direction. From the statistical analysis, it was evident that there was no significant difference between the groups with respect to fabric warp at 5% level and in weft count there was a significant difference between the groups at the 5% level.
