<p>The level of released formaldehyde in a durable press treated fabric is significantly reduced or eliminated altogether by an oxidative aftertreatment process in which the fabric, after treatment with a formaldehyde-based durable press finishing agent and curing to impart durable press properties, is contacted with an oxidizing agent to destroy formaldehyde-releasing moieties present in the fabric. Preferably, the treatment of the durable press fabric with the oxidizing agent is carried out by impregnating the fabric with a solution containing the oxidizing agent and then providing the fabric a residence time in contact with the oxidizing agent to allow for reaction of the oxidizing agent with the formaldehyde-releasing moieties.</p> |
