Abstract

The objective of this research was to apply resins to muslin fabric to impart wrinkle free smooth surface as well as to eliminate the ironing garments after wash on usage. The optimal condition of dimethyol dihydroxy ethylene urea (KNITTEX® FEL) treated muslin fabric was done using a temperature of 160°C for 60 s. It was found that formaldehyde-free dihydroxyethyleneurea agent imparted the best smooth appearance. The surface water absorption rate of wrinkle-free muslin fabrics was a bit slower than that of untreated muslin fabric. Moreover, the untreated and treated muslin fabrics showed similar stiffness behavior.
