- Title
Dyeing of Crosslinked Cotton Containing Glycol Additives.

- Abstract
It has been demonstrated previously that dyeable easy-care fabric is produced by chemically treating cotton with an N-methylolamide crosslinking agent and an alkanolamine or hydroxyalkyl quaternary ammonium salt. Conventional pad-dry-cure finishing methods, crosslinking agents and metal salt catalysts are employed. In more recent studies, it has been reported that inclusion of a reactive glycol or polyethylene glycol in the finishing bath greatly improves the dyeability of the treated fabric. The glycol is bound to the substrate through reaction with the crosslinking agent. The treated cotton shows improved color strength when dyed with larger molecular weight anionic dyes. Cotton finished with glycol additive, but without nitrogenous additive, does not show the same degree of dye receptivity as fabric finished with the combination treatment. Various reactive glycol compounds including a series of polyethylene glycols were investigated.
