The process for chemically modifying metal-free, organic material for improving one or more properties thereof such as water dispersibility, compatibility with other organics, or increased chemical reactivity, wherein the process includes providing material with from 1-6 sulfonylhalide groups or sulfonate ester groups or mixtures thereof, and contacting the material under sulfonamido forming conditions with one or more reactants containing one or more poly(oxyalkylene) moieties, each of the reactants having from 1 to 4 functional amine groups, and each of the poly(oxyalkylene) moieties being comprised of from about 4 to about 200 epoxide reactant residues at least about 50 mole percent of which residues contain 2-4 carbons.

Organic materials having sulfonamido linked poly(oxyalkylene) moieties

A method is provided for temporary coloration of textile materials which comprises applying to said textile materials an amine-reducible tint in an amount sufficient to provide coloration to said textile material, said tint being characterized by the formula:

Method for color mounting the level of finish applied to textile
