“…34 Optical brighteners found in many household laundry detergents absorb UV in the 340-370 nm range and re-emit energy as blue light. 35 Also known as fluorescent whitening agents, they have been shown to improve the UV protection of natural materials such as cotton and blended fabrics. 36 Tinosorb FD is another sunscreen ingredient that is available as an invisible laundry additive that can boost natural fibers to UPF 30, lasting up to 20 washes.…”

An Added Benefit of Masks During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Ultraviolet Protection

2021

The widespread use of masks during the COVID-19 pandemic presents a new avenue for protecting the lower half of the face from the harms of sun exposure. The increased social acceptability of masks, which may persist post-pandemic, has the potential to impact prevention of photosensitive disorders, photoaging, and skin cancer. The authors sought to review clinically relevant information on the ultraviolet (UV) shielding properties of masks. This synthesis of current research will help physicians counsel patients on optimal mask choices, from both dermatological and public health viewpoints. The variables impacting the UV protection of masks were reviewed, including fabric type, construction, porosity, and color. Other factors related to wear and use such as moisture, stretch, laundering, and sanitization are discussed in the context of the pandemic. Black, tightly woven, triple-layered polyester cloth masks were determined to be optimal for UV protection. The most protective choice against both SARS-CoV-2 and UV radiation is a medical mask worn underneath the aforementioned cloth mask. In order to preserve the filtration capacity of the fabric, masks should be changed once they have become moist. Washing cotton masks before first use in laundry detergents containing brightening agents increases their UV protection. Overall, cloth masks for the public that are safest against SARS-CoV-2 are generally also the most protective against UV damage. People should be encouraged to procure a high-quality mask to simultaneously help reduce the spread of SARS-CoV-2 and shield against sun exposure. Further investigation is needed on the UV-protective properties of medical masks.

“…Additionally, focus on benzoxazoles′ substantial significance because of their phenomenal therapeutic functions like cyclooxygenase inhibitors, anti‐HIV, anticancer, antibiotics, antifungals, antivirals, anticonvulsant agents, antioxidants, antitumors, antiulcers, antibacterials, anti‐inflammatory, anti‐tubercular, and analgesics., [15,16] The majority of benzoxazole compounds have significant uses in materials science, such as electronic devices and sensors for metals, as well as their use as photoluminescent dyes, photochromatic agents, and laser dyes [17] . Moreover, polymer industries, fluorescent brighteners, [18] optical brighteners in laundry detergents are also increasingly important in agrochemicals [19,20] . Regarding the extensive uses of benzoxazoles, their synthesis has attracted considerable interest recently.…”

Naturally, occurring as well as synthetic nitrogen and oxygen containing heterocyclic compounds like benzoxazoles and its derivatives have found to be playing a vital role in the Pharmaceutical, agriculture; polymer, material science and they also exhibits series of significant antimicrobial activities. In the last decade, an organic transformation has found abundant application of nanotechnology and nanoscience can aid design catalyst with excellent efficiency, selectivity and stability. Academics and industry have recently shown a lot of interest in the application of nanocatalysts, a field that is expanding significantly, to create sustainable and environmentally friendly processes for the synthesis of benzoxazole derivatives with multi‐component reactions (MCRs). Nanocatalyst reactions have advantages over conventional catalyst reactions because of the interaction of chemical reactants made possible by a high surface area ratio, simple purification, low catalyst loading, high atom economy, inexpensiveness, short reaction time, better yield, and recyclability of the nanocatalysts. In this review article, mainly focus is on the nanocatalysts fabrications, characterizations and their applications for the synthesis of benzoxazoles moiety during the last decennary (2011 to 2022).

“…The additives of fabric softeners play the role of after-treatment laundry aid, in contrast to laundry detergents. Moreover, very useful are additions of more dilute preparations of wrinkle releasers which are sprayed directly onto fabrics [ 2 ]. Surfactants and polyglycol products are used in textile processing as emulsifiers in order to improve the wetting and penetrating properties of textile materials.…”

General information concerning different kinds of chemical additives used in the textile industry has been described in this paper. The properties and applications of organofunctional silanes and polysiloxanes (silicones) for chemical and physical modifications of textile materials have been reviewed, with a focus on silicone softeners, silane, and silicones-based superhydrophobic finishes and coatings on textiles composed of silicone elastomers and rubbers. The properties of textile materials modified with silanes and silicones and their practical and potential applications, mainly in the textile industry, have been discussed.
