A major concern in industrial and manufacturing settings is the presence of chemicals on raw materials. A major portion of clothing production is concerned with chemicals used during the fabric fabrication process. In fact, many chemicals are needed during the development and creation of most fabrics. Additionally, certain chemicals are needed to speed up chemical processes. It is important that these chemicals are cleaned and protected to keep them free of a dangerous and unfavorable build-up.
One of the chemicals used in textile production that is considered the most hazardous is PVC. Some experts argue that the use of PVC in clothing does more harm than good. Some chemicals used in the manufacture of PVC coatings can cause short-term and even long-term health problems. Additionally, many chemicals in PVC are toxic to animals and humans alike. According to the European Environment Agency, exposure to some of the chemicals used in PVC manufacture may be carcinogenic in nature.
A popular alternative for companies that do not want to deal with the chemicals that go into making traditional textiles is to use nanosilver for their fabric production. Nanosilver is a natural occurring composite that consists of silver and zinc. It is biodegradable and completely safe to humans and animals. The nanosilver found in fabrics combines very closely with copper to create a substance that is known as silver Nano Wire.
The nanosilicate mixed with copper and the silver acts as a conductive electrode which enables electrical current to pass through the fabric. As a result, the textile production process produces an environmentally friendly, safe, soft, and durable product. This fabric is also more comfortable to wear as compared to conventional cotton clothing materials.
The use of chemicals in the textile industry is greatly reduced to a great extent. The new environmentally friendly dyes have replaced the harmful synthetic dyes, giving a striking look to the clothing and keeping the environment safe from the adverse effects of the chemicals. The garments that are made from this fabric are comfortable and easy to wear. Moreover, they are durable and give a long lasting effect to the wearer.
