Abstract
Application of DMDHEU from a kerosene-water emulsion system at different levels of water content in the system has been examined with respect to the extent of crosslinking and mechanical properties of the finished fabrics. As the water content of the treating bath is decreased, both wet and dry wrinkle-recovery angles, bound nitrogen, and bound HCHO in the crosslinked fabric increase, but there is no improvement noticed in the wrinkle-recovery/mechanical properties relationship. The increase in the extent of cross linking during application from the emulsion system appears to be due to preferential uptake of the aqueous solution containing the crosslinking agent from the emulsion system.
