An acetal cellulose reactant which imparts high crease resistance to fabrics is dis cussed. Determination of optimum conditions of application in the laboratory are fol lowed by discussion of several applications in textile mills.
A catalyst which permits low temperature rapid curing of acetal reactants is also discussed. Results of textile mill usage of the catalyst are given.
An efficiency factor relating crease resistance increase to tensile loss is suggested.
