If you find it tough to get rid of stubborn stains on your clothes the new technology from the Facilitation Centre for Industrial Plasma Technologies or FCIPT in Gandhinagar interest you. The division of the Institute for Plasma Research has manufactured a technology which can render cloth stain proof.

The particle powder developed by FCIPT has titanium metal vaporised with plasma to form titanium oxide. When these are mixed with alcohol and sprayed onto the cloth, the nano particles settle in the cloth and form a protective coat. Now if you drop anything on your clothes the only thing you need to do to get rid of the stain is to place it in the sun.

When the ultra violet rays of sunlight react with the titanium oxide in the presence of oxygen from the atmosphere, the molecules forming the stain are broken down. This in turn makes the stain disappear. Senior scientist C Balasubramanian said that one just has to leave the cloth in the sun for two to three hours and the stain disappears. This process is called a self cleaning cloth.

The FCIPT will be entering into an MoU with Man Made Textile Research Association in Surat to implement in-line plasma treatment technology in textile manufacturing. Now this is a science project that everyone who is a sloppy eater will be cheering for.
