METHOD FOR PROCESSING CELLULOSIC FIBER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a cellulosic fiber excellent in a quick-drying property without impairing touch feeling which the cellulosic fiber has originally. SOLUTION: This method for processing the cellulosic fiber comprises carrying out a modification processing imparting a hydrophobic property to the cellulosic fiber by treating the cellulose fiber in a tension-free state with an aqueous solution of an alkali metal hydroxide and treating the treated cellulosic fiber with a hydrophobic processing agent after washing. The hydrophobic processing agent is preferably a resin fishing agent, a hydrophobilizing and crosslinking agent or a hydrophobilizing agent. COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO
