The Crosslinking of Blended Fabrics

Abstract
The application of a crosslinking agent (DMDHEU) to all-cotton and to polyester-cotton blended fabrics indicated that similar add-ons were observed with the various fabrics. By means of special blended fabrics, it was indicated that most of the reaction occurs with the cotton fibers. Thus, there may be some tendency to overcrosslink the cotton fibers in blended fabrics if conventional finishes for cotton are applied full strength on blended fabrics By use of other special blends of cotton and polyester, potential hazards in finishing blended fabrics were illustrated.
