“…Cavendish) [10] and babool (Acacia Arabica) plants [11]. Silk and wool fabrics have been made to protect from UV radiations by having applied on them the extracts from neem and eucalyptus [12,13]. Although several natural dyes have been studied with respect to UV protection and antibacterial properties [14], limited work has been reported on medicinal plant extracts for UV protection properties.…”

“…Only a limited number of natural plant extracts have been studied that impart UV protection to fabric without imparting color to it. Silk and wool fabrics have been made to protect from UV radiations by applying on them the extracts from eucalyptus . Although several natural dyes have been studied with respect to UV protection properties , limited work has been reported on relatively colorless plant extracts with good UV protection properties.…”

UV radiations are high-energy radiations present in sunlight that can damage human skin. Protection against these radiations becomes vital especially in those areas of the globe where UV index is quite high that makes the inhabitants more prone to dangerous effects of UV radiations. Clothing materials are good blockers of UV radiations, particularly when the fabric cover factor is high and/or the fabrics contain suitable UV-blocking finishes. In this study, effect of application of aqueous and methanolic extracts of two different plants, i.e., Achyranthes aspera and Alhagi maurorum on UV protection properties of cotton fabric was investigated. The results showed that the fabric samples treated with extracts of both the plants have excellent UV protection properties as indicated by their ultraviolet protection factor. It was concluded that both the aqueous and methanolic plant extracts are very effective in blocking UVA and UVB radiations, when applied on cotton fabrics. The UV protection performance of Achyranthes aspera extracts was much better as compared to that of Alhagi maurorum, and methanolic extracts of both the plants outperformed the aqueous extracts in terms of UV protection.
