Sažetak
The complexity of stains from cosmetic products on textiles poses a challenge in washing processes. In this study, the primary effect of the washing process on cotton fabrics and cotton knitwear stained with two sun protection products (moisturising emulsion and balm) was analysed. The chemical activity in the process is driven by the booster Mulan Solar (agent- MS) and agent- MS supported by ozone at temperatures of 20 °C, 30 °C, 40 °C, 60 °C, 75 °C and 90 °C. The interaction between sunscreens and cotton materials was analysed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The stain removal performance under the mentioned washing process conditions was analysed using remission spectrophotometry. The results showed that ozone enhanced the primary effect of agent-MS in removing sunscreen balm stains on cotton knitted fabric. It was confirmed that the primary effect in this complex system depends on the type of cotton substrate and the type of cosmetic agent.
