We have studied the physicochemical properties of dispersion systems made with a cationic Hercosett resin, the anionic optical brightener agent Uvitex NFW, and the oxidative agent hydrogen peroxide. We have also investigated the application of these systems to untreated knitted wool samples to obtain improved whiteness and shrink proofing properties, and the damage to the physicochemical properties of the keratin fibers.
