The herbal formulation produced is applied on nonwoven P/V (100 gsm) and viscose (45 gsm). The % absorbency and % release property of both the formulation produced has been analysed on both the nonwovens. It shows a good surface disinfectant property for SF1 formulation. The invitro cytotoxicity results shows nontoxic results and are safer for human skin applications.
