Azeotropes of low watercontent that boil at less than 100°C were selected as solvents fordimethytotdihydroxyethytene urea and zinc nitrate catalyst in the chemical modification of cotton and cotton-polyester blends. Fabrics were treated by the usual pad-dry-cure techniques, and final properties were compared with those obtained by conventional all- aqueous systems.
