Zinc oxide show high absorption in the ultraviolet (UV) region of the light spectrum, while absorption of visible light is quite low. In comparison with organic absorbers conventionally used in the textile industry, inorganic materials show no significant degradation and are therefore extremely stable and the oxides are classified as non-toxic materials. Sols were prepared using sol-gel technology. Ethanol, tetraetoxysilane, distilled water and hydrochloric acid was stirred for 30 minutes, after stirring was added Zn acetate and for second variant ZnSO4. The fabric samples were immersed in the prepared sols, after samples was dried at 50ºC and cured in an oven at 120ºC. Experiment results show that a moderate thermal treatment at 120°C after the sol is applied to the cotton textile is appropriate. In this work comparison of coatings of samples prepared using Zn acetate or ZnSO4 was made.
