Durable-press properties in cotton containing fabrics via polymeric N- methylol reagents

摘要

Durable-press properties are imparted to cotton containing fabrics with reduced losses in strength and abrasion resistance by a process which includes (1) application of a solution containing a methylolated urea modified polyethylenimine alone or in combination with other crosslinking agents and a crosslinking catalyst, (2) drying the impregnated fabrics, and (3) curing at elevated temperatures.
