The influences of several process variables on the dimensional stabilization of wool fabrics with melamine resin acid colloid were studied in the laboratory. Preparation of acid colloid, different organic acids, curing temperature, and solids deposited were among the variables examined. It was found that low temperature curing with higher resin solids deposits is as effective as high temperature curing with lower solids in controlling wash shrinkage.
