Definitions

• This invention relates to the treating and finishing of textiles and textile-forming materials.
• the invention includes processes for finishing textiles, textile finishing compositions, the preparation of such textile finishing compositions, and textiles of improved properties finished with the compositions and by the processes of the invention.
• Textile fabrics, yarns, threads and fibers have been heretofore treated with a wide variety of creaseproofing agents, waterproofing agents, materials to prevent shrinking, felting, fulling, etc., lubricants, softening agents, sizes, binding agents and other materials to improve the appearance and feel or hand of the goods.
• the treatment of textiles for these and similar purposes is known as textile finishing, and the agents employed for this purpose are known as textile finishing agents.
• -It is a principal object of the present invention to provide textile finishing compositions and methods for their preparation and application to textiles, which compositions and methods will produce finished textiles having a greatly improved water resistance, a more desirable hand, crease resistance, a very much reduced tendency for shrinking and other desirable improvements which will be apparent from the description which follows: Other important objects will appear hereinafter.
• the various textile materials which may be treated in accordance with my invention include fibers, thread, yarns, knit and woven cloth and other fabricated materials of cotton, linen, hemp, jute, regenerated cellulose, cellulose esters, cellulose ethers, wool, synthetic wool, silk, synthetic silk and other fibrous materials whether natural or synthesized.
• textile fabrics all of these various textile-forming materials and structures containing the same will be referred to as textile fabrics.
• My improved textile finishing process includes the steps of treating textile fabrics such as mentioned above with dispersions containing alkylated methylol melamine together with certain (1 Company,
• the methylated methylol melamine polymerizes, or cures, in the fabric.
• Curing of the resin probably takes place by splitting off one or more molecules of methyl alcohol followed by a molecular rearrangement which favors polymerization.
• fabrics so treated have a very marked resistance to shrinking, a good hand, crease-resistance and other important characteristics the fabrics are not particularly water-repellent. This lack of water resistance is due in part at least to the fact that the polymerized resin molecule has no efiective hydrophobic groups available to repel water. In other words, the cured resin is fairly easily wetted and water is allowed to penetrate into the interstices of the fabric.
• any compound having a hydrophobic alkyl radical of at least 7 carbon atoms and containing a nitrogen atom having attached thereto an acidic group can be employed in conjunction with alkylated methylol melamines for textile finishing.
• Combination between the compound containing th acidic nitrogen atom, which is designated herein as an amido group, and the alkylated methylol melamine is brought about under the conditions hereinafter described by means of a reactive hydrogen present on the amido group or one substituent such as an alkylol radical attached thereto.

• G is a coupling linkage of the group CH2- and CH2O(CR R )n-, R and R being members of the group consisting of hydrogen and alkyl radicals; n is a small whole number, and M, X, Z and. R are as previously defined.
• At least one of the short chain groups of the methylated methylol melamine is replaced with a group containing in X or R, or both, one or more long chain hydrophobic alkyl groups.
• the product also contains in the melamine nucleus at least one methoxy methyl group which at the temperature of the curing process can split ofl methanol allowing a molecular rearrangement to take place with subsequent polymerization with other alkylated methylol melamine molecules.
• amido compound having the long chain alkyl group which replaces the short chain alkyl group is not split off at the temperature of the curing process and hence the long chain alkyl radical remains as a part of the resin in which it acts to render the resin itself hydrophobic.

• Alkylated methylol melamines having short alkyl groups of not more than four carbon atoms such as ethylated, isopropylated and butylated methylol melamines may also be employed, but require greater care in the curing steps.
