Washing durability

Better stability to hydrolysis and better washing durability than U/F products... 

Cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) was used to form ionic bonds with Acrilan (acrylonitrile copolymer) woven fabrics in order to confer antimicrobial functions to the fabrics. The finished fabrics showed good efficacy against Escherichia coli and the washing durability of the antimicrobial properties was excellent. The CPC uptake on the Acrilan fibres depended on the pH during the finishing process, concentration of the CPC and the finishing temperature. High pH and temperatures were... 

Melamine—Formaldehyde Resins. The most versatile textile-finishing resins are the melamine—formaldehyde resins. They provide wash-and-wear properties to ceUulosic fabrics, and enhance the wash durability of flame-retardant finishes. Butjiated melamine —formaldehyde resins of the type used in surface coatings may be used in textile printing-ink formulations. A typical textile melamine resin is the dimethji ether of ttimethjiolmelamine [1852-22-8] which can be prepared as follows ...

Thermochromic components are usually microencapsulated in order to limit undesirable influences of the environment. Thermochromic dyes are highly sensible to light, solvents and high temperatures. The wash durability of microencapsulated thermochromic dyes has been reported to be up to 20 washes [53].
