Claims
- 1. A reactant for imparting permanent press properties to a textile containing cellulose fibers which comprises the alkylated product of the reaction of about 1.2-2.0 moles of glyoxal and about 1 mole of at least one cyclic urea.
- 2. The reactant of claim 1 wherein the cyclic urea has the following formula: ##STR2## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3, R.sub.4, R.sub.5, and R.sub.6 may be the same or different and each may be H, OH, COOH, R, OR, or COOR wherein R is an alkyl or a substituted alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and X may be C, O, or N; when X is 0, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 are each zero; when X is N, R.sub.3 or R.sub.4 is zero.
- 3. A process for producing crease-resistant textiles which comprises impregnating a textile containing cellulose fibers with a solution of the reactant of claim 1 and a catalyst and heating the impregnated textile to cure the reactant thereon.
- 4. The process of claim 3 wherein the cyclic urea has the formula of claim 2 and the ratio of glyoxal:cyclic urea is about 1.2-2.0:1.
- 5. A crease-resistant textile containing cellulose fibers produced by the process of claim 3.
