Abstract
Treatment with thermosetting formaldehyde resins increases the tendency of nylon to yellow when heated The terminal amine groups of nylon are involved in the discolora tion. These amine groups can be blocked by reaction with urea under normal textile curing conditions in order to produce a fabric with less tendency to yellow.Keywords
