Dyed wrinkle-resistant and durable-press cotton fabrics

摘要

A cellulosic fabric is treated with a crosslinking agent selected from the group consisting of: an adduct from an amide and glyoxal, an acetal derived from a dialdehyde and an aldehyde other than formaldehyde and an acidic catalyst. The catalyst and crosslinking agent is of sufficient amount and concentration to impregnate the fabric and produce wrinkle- resistance and smooth-drying finishes when dried from about 3-10 minutes at from about 60°-100° C. and then cured from about 1-5 minutes at from about 120°-180° C. The resultant fabric is then dyed.
