Claims
- 1. A textile-reactive preparation comprising:
a durable-press resin capable of forming a covalent bond with a textile and capable of imparting wrinkle-resistance to said textile, and a resin-reactive modifier capable of imparting a soft hand and tear/abrasion resistance to said textile, said resin-reactive modifier comprising reactive groups capable of forming a covalent bond with said durable-press resin.
- 2. A textile-reactive preparation according to claim 1 wherein said resin-reactive modifier comprises reactive building blocks and rubbery building blocks.
- 3. A textile-reactive preparation according to claim 2 wherein said resin-reactive modifier comprises at least one hydroxyl reactive group per molecule.
- 4. A textile-reactive preparation according to claim 2 wherein said resin-reactive modifier is selected from the group consisting of butadiene polymer and hydrogenated butadiene polymer comprising at least one hydroxyl reactive group per molecule.
- 5. A textile-reactive preparation according to claim 2 wherein said durable-press resin is DMDHEU.
- 6. A method for treating a textile comprising:
exposing a textile to an aqueous solution or suspension of a textile-reactive preparation comprising i) a durable-press resin capable of forming a covalent bond with said textile and capable of imparting wrinkle-resistance to said textile, ii) a resin-reactive modifier capable of imparting a soft hand and tear/abrasion resistance to said textile, said resin-reactive modifier comprising reactive groups capable of forming a covalent bond with said durable-press resin, and optionally, iii) a catalyst; removing said treated textile from the aqueous solution; drying said treated textile; and curing said treated textile; to give a treated textile that exhibits durable wrinkle resistance, soft hand, and tear/abrasion resistance.
- 7. A method according to claim 6 wherein said resin-reactive modifier comprises reactive building blocks and rubbery building blocks.
- 8. A method according to claim 7 wherein said resin-reactive modifier comprises at least one hydroxyl reactive group per molecule.
- 9. A method according to claim 7 wherein said resin-reactive modifier is selected from the group consisting of butadiene polymer and hydrogenated butadiene polymer comprising at least one hydroxyl reactive group per molecule.
- 10. A method according to claim 7 wherein said durable-press resin is DMDHEU.
- 11. A treated textile prepared by the method comprising:
exposing a textile to an aqueous solution or suspension of a textile-reactive preparation comprising i) a durable-press resin capable of forming a covalent bond with said textile and capable of imparting wrinkle-resistance to said textile, ii) a resin-reactive modifier capable of imparting a soft hand and tear/abrasion resistance to said textile, said resin-reactive modifier comprising reactive groups capable of forming a covalent bond with said durable-press resin, and optionally, iii) a catalyst; removing said treated textile from the aqueous solution; drying said treated textile; and curing said treated textile; said treated textile having the characteristic of exhibiting durable wrinkle resistance, soft hand, and tear/abrasion resistance.
- 12. A treated textile according to claim 11 wherein said resin-reactive modifier comprises reactive building blocks and rubbery building blocks.
- 13. A treated textile according to claim 12 wherein said resin-reactive modifier comprises at least one hydroxyl reactive group per molecule.
- 14. A treated textile according to claim 12 wherein said resin-reactive modifier is selected from the group consisting of butadiene polymer and hydrogenated butadiene polymer comprising at least one hydroxyl reactive group per molecule.
- 15. A treated textile according to claim 12 wherein said durable-press resin is DMDHEU.
- 16. A resin-reactive modifier which comprises reactive groups capable of forming a covalent bond with a durable-press resin and which is capable of imparting a soft hand and tear/abrasion resistance to a textile.
- 17. A resin-reactive modifier according to claim 16 which comprises reactive building blocks and rubbery building blocks.
- 18. A resin-reactive modifier according to claim 17 which comprises at least one hydroxyl reactive group per molecule.
- 19. A resin-reactive modifier according to claim 17 which is selected from the group consisting of butadiene polymer and hydrogenated butadiene polymer comprising at least one hydroxyl reactive group per molecule.
