A novel silicone-based emulsion has been developed for multifunctional textile finishing, providing mosquito repellency, antibacterial properties, fabric softening, and fragrance retention. This composition includes silicone oil, antimicrobial agents, and other active ingredients, ensuring high efficacy and durability. It retains the hydrophilicity of cellulosic textiles while offering protective benefits. Applications include protective textiles and mosquito-repellent fabric products. A prototype emulsion has been developed and characterized in a laboratory setting.
