Abstract
The use of ionizing radiation as the delayed step in a durable-press process has been investigated. Methylol acryl article is reacted monofunctionally with cotton by a pad- dry-cure procedure, using acid catalysis. The fabric is washed free of all unreacted chemicals, made into garments, and cross-linked at room temperature with β rays 2 from a machine irradiator. The machine used in the experiments is capable of finishing up to 8,000 pairs of slacks in an 8-hr shift.Keywords
