TREATMENT OF TEXTILE SURFACE

摘要

A method for the treatment of textiles surfaces has the steps: (i) a solids treatment material including a swollen hydrogel containing aqueous treatment fluid is applied to a surface, (ii) force is then applied to release the treatment fluids from the hydrogel, (iii) the textile is allowed to dry and (iv) visible residues are removed from the surface. The hydrogel is a hydrophilic homopolymer or copolymer of acrylic or methacrylic acid or salt/ester thereof; a homopolymer or copolymer of acrylonitrile; a cellulose ether, carboxylated cellulose derivative polyalkylene oxide or polyurethane optional cross-linked with polysaccharide. The treatment fluid is for cleansing, insect-proofing, fragrancing or antibacterial/antifungal purposes.
