Hercosett‐57 resin deposition on wool and modified wools

摘要

AbstractA study has been made of the uptake of a commercial polyaminoamide resin (Hercosett‐57) by wool fibers. The effect of various chemical pretreatments on the uptake of the resin was monitored in order to investigate the mechanism of bonding of the polymer with the wool. From the results obtained it would appear that the deposition of the resin is not controlled by simple chemical reaction with the fiber. Surface treatments to the wool fibers and adhesion play a more important part in the resin‐bonding process. Insoluble chlorinating agents such as DCCA and Chloramine T proved more effective in bringing about resin deposition than did the more widely used acid chlorination treatments, which use free chlorine in solut
