The paper presents the results of the researches carried out for obtaining multifunctional textile materials with multipleeffects, by means of superior finishing techniques, using functional chemicals in the form of aqueous dispersions. It hasbeen studied the possibility of combining treatment with dispersions with photocatalytic and antibacterial effects with ahydrophobic/oleophobic treatment that simultaneously provides both sustainable photocatalytic and antibacterial effectas well as hydrophobic/oleophobic effect within satisfactory limits for all these effects. The results of the laboratoryevaluations performed on 50% cotton and 50% functionalised HT polyamide textile fabrics showed thathydrophobization treatment with fluoropolymer dispersions can be combined with the treatment with titanium dioxidephotocalatytic dispersions or silver chloride and titanium dioxide dispersions to obtain multiple photocatalytic,antibacterial and hydrophobic/ oleophobic effects without diminishing the functionalization effects that would have beenachieved by individual treatments
