Abstract

The study was conducted to explore eco-friendly antimicrobial finish extracted from
Azadirachata indica (A. Juss), Butea monosperma (Lam.) and Litchi chinensis (Gaetin) trees and to
determine its effect on aesthetic properties of 100% silk fabric. In aesthetic properties stiffness and
smoothness appearance were checked. These properties were checked bypre and post test application
of antimicrobial finish by using ASTEM E2149 Shake Flask method. The AATCC standard testing
methods were used for checking aesthetic properties of fabric. It was observed that the antimicrobial
finish increased the aesthetic properties of 100% silk fabric and it made 89 % reduction in microbial
growth up to 25 washes. The antimicrobial finish showed good result on silk fabric.
