Multiple regression analysis is used to determine the effect of resin add-on and co-applied water in crease resistant finish on cotton. Dry crease recovery angle (DWRA) and tear resistance of treated fabrics are measured. Regression equations show that increasing resin add-on increases DWRA and decreases tear resistance. Conversely, increased co-applied water reduces DWRA and increases tear resistance. A hypothesis is presented to account for the independent and interactive effects of resin add-on and the amount of co-applied water, when used with the FFT process.
