107—improvements in Epoxy-Amino Polyamide Finishes for Easy-Care Wool Fabrics

Abstract

This paper describes significantly iniproved finishes for control of felting shrinkage in wool apparel fabrics obtained with blends of glycerol-based and bisphenol A-based epoxy resins with an amino polyamide resin. Oxidative pretreatrnent of the fabric improves the shrinkage-resistance. Much of the stiffness imparted to the fabric by the resin treatment is removed by mechanical methods. Successful application of a typical resin formulation to full-size woollen fabrics is described.

“…Adsorption of direct cotton dyes on different cellulosic fibers has been studied extensively by a number of workers mainly from the point of view of developing the kinetic as well as thermodynamic interpretations for understarjding the mechanism of dyeing of cellulose with th4se dyes [ 10,17 ] .
