IMPROVING COLOR RETENTION OF TEXTILE MATERIALS

摘要

In a process for increasing the crockfastness and/or washfastness of a textile material which has been colored by the application of a dye and/or pigment, an aqueous polymeric dispersion produced by emulsion polymerization of a monomer composition comprising one or more alkyl acrylate or methacrylate monomers wherein the alkyl group has from 1 to 12 carbon atoms is deposited on the colored textile material. The deposited dispersion is then dryed to produce a color-retention composition on the colored textile material in an amount sufficient to improve crockfastness and/or washfastness of the colored textile material.
