Abstract
Performance of durable press finish on cotton with modified DMDHEU, citric acid, BTCA and maleic acid
Highlights
Cotton is one of the most preferred textile materials due to its superior wearing comfort and excellent wearability
The finished cotton with the best durable press (DP) was further evaluated for the total crease recovery angle (TCRA, AATCC Test 66-2003), tensile strength
Cotton finished with a set of parameters according to the respective experimental design was evaluated for its DP rating
Summary
Cotton is one of the most preferred textile materials due to its superior wearing comfort and excellent wearability. Four different cross-linking agents, i.e. modified dimethylol dihydroxy ethylene urea (DMDHEU), citric acid, 1,2,3,4 butanetetracarboxylic acid (BTCA) and maleic acid, were applied on cotton fabric through selection of combinations, using the Box-Behnken experimental design. It was established that DMDHEU shows the best improvement in the crease recovery angle along with the highest durable press (DP) rating with a poor retention of strength.
