Edge Abrasion of Durable-Press Cotton Fabric During Laundering with Phosphate- and Carbonate-Built Detergents

Polyethylenimines, degree of polymerization = 7 and 14, were reacted with urea to form polymeric noncyclic analogues of ethyleneurea that were subsequently treated with formaldehyde to yield N-methylol derivatives. These reagents were applied to cotton fabric both alone and in combination with dimethyloldihydroxyethyleneurea. Al2(OH)5Cl·2H2O was the preferred crosslinking catalyst. Fabrics finished with these crosslinking reagent systems had durable-press properties generally comparable to those of fabrics prepared by conventional techniques but were characterized by significantly higher levels of retained strength and abrasion resistance.

Crosslinking Agents

In this study, acrylamide-containing crosslinking agents 2,4-diacrylamidebenzenesulfonic acid (AC-DABS1) and 2,5-diacrylamidebenzenesulfonic acid (AC-DABS2) were synthesized and applied to cotton fabric as durable press finishing agents under alkaline conditions. The target products were characterized by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance. The stability of the acrylamide group in alkaline solution was investigated by model compound para-acrylamidebenzenesulfonic acid. The efficiency of AC-DABS1 and AC-DABS2 as durable press finishing agents was examined and compared by testing the wrinkle recovery angle (WRA), tearing strength retention (TSR) and washing durability under different conditions using the steaming process. The performance of fabric treated with 1,3,5-triacroylaminohexahydro-s-triazine (FAP) was also investigated and compared with those treated with acrylamide-containing crosslinking agents. The results showed that the anti-crease effects of FAP were better than those of the new synthesized agents. However, the new synthesized agents have the advantage of water solubility and low cost. The fabric treated with new synthesized agents presented satisfactory WRA and TSR, indicating that AC-DABS1 and AC-DABS2 can be utilized as effective alkaline crosslinking agents. In addition, the different performance of the FAP-treated fabric and fabric treated with the new synthesized agents was illustrated by the HPLC method.
