Overview: Cellulose cross linking is a very important textile chemical process, and is the basis for a vast array of durable press- and crease-resistant finished textile products. N-methylol crosslinkers containing formaldehyde give fabrics desirable properties of mechanical stability, but also impart strength loss and the potential to release formaldehyde, a known human carcinogen. Other systems, e.g. polycarboxylic acids, have been tested with varying degrees of success. This paper focuses on the methods of forming ionic crosslinkÆs that provide outstanding crease-angle recovery performance, as well as complete strength retention in treated goods, without the potential for releasing any low-molecular weight reactive materials, such as formaldehyde.
