Nitrate-free catalyst for the wash-and-wear finishing of textiles

Use of aqueous polymer dispersions as textile auxiliaries for easy-care

A chloride-free catalyst for wash-and-wear finishing textiles with formaldehyde-free crosslinking agents contains magnesium and fluoroborate ions in a ratio of from 1:0.1 to 1:4 and guarantees odorless results.

Reaction products of compounds of the formula I

Ethoxylated fatty acid amide textile softeners

A process for printing textile materials consisting of cellulosic fibers, or of blends of cellulosic fibers and synthetic fibers, using a print paste which contains a synthetic thickener and a disperse dye, with or without conventional assistants, and, per 1,000 parts by weight of print paste, from 40 to 250 parts by weight of an N-methylol compound or N-methylol-ether compound of urea, of a urea derivative or of a carbamic acid ester, the print being fixed at an elevated temperature. The resulting prints have exceptionally good washfastness.

Printing of textile materials

Alkylene oxide derivatives based on tetrahydrofuran copolymers and having the formula R-X, wherein X consists essentially of a copolymer of tetrahydrofuran and a C.sub.2 to C.sub.3 alkylene oxide, R being the radical of a C.sub.8 to C.sub.22 alcohol or carboxylic acid or their oxyalkylation products with from 1 to 20 moles of said C.sub.2 to C.sub.3 alkylene oxide, the total amount of the alkylene oxide and tetrahydrofuran units in R-X being from 60 to 95% by weight and the molar ratio of the alkylene oxide units to tetrahydrofuran units being from 1:0.5 to 1:3. The new products R-X are useful as surfactants, textile auxiliaries and, in particular, emulsifiers in the one-bath finishing and pigment dyeing of textiles.
