METHOD FOR CONTROLLED EASY FINISHING PROCESS OF A TEXTILE MATERIAL

摘要

PURPOSE: To apply non-formalin processing comparable to conventional processing and finishing effect and retaining high whiteness to a fiber by treating a woven fabric composing of a cellulosic fiber with an aqueous solution containing a specific processing and finishing agent, a catalyst and an optical reflecting body. CONSTITUTION: A woven fabric composed of a cellulosic fiber is treated with an aqueous solution of a processing and finishing agent containing (A) a processing agent represented by formula I [R<1> and R<2> are each H or a 1-3C alkyl [either one of R<1> and R<2> is a 1-3C alkyl); R<3> and R<4> are each H or a 1-4C alkyl], (B) zinc hydrofluorate as crosslinking catalyst and (C) 0.01-1 wt.% optical reflecting body represented by formula II and/or formula III to attain crease resistance and shrink resistance comparable to finishing and processing effect by conventional urea-glyoxal-formaldehyde and improve and retain high whiteness.
