finished with a durable press resin composition a sample 2 was a sample which was foam finished with composition b which contains urea scavenger in the bath sample 3 was the fabric from the treatment with composition a which was then post treated with a foamed urea composition c in each case the foam treatments were carried out utilizing a composition foamed to a blow ratio of 15 1 the foamed resin was knife coated and the coated fabric padded to collapse the foam and distribute the finish wet pick up was 30 the fabrics were dried at 220 u00b0 f for 3 minutes and cured at 350 u00b0 f for 90 seconds the foamed scavenger composition composition c was applied to sample 3 by knife coating padding to collapse the foam and finally the fabric was dried at 220 u00b0 f and cured at 330 u00b0 f the composition utilized to treat each of the fabric samples with respect to the scavenger treatment were as follows ______________________________________ a b c______________________________________water to 100 to 100 to 100 valrez cm 4 carbamate resin 30 30 valsof pe softener 4 4 valfoam md sodium lauryl 2 2 1 sulfate valcat 251 magnesium chloride 7 5 7 5 catalyst urea 1 5 3 ______________________________________ each of the fabrics was analyzed for their durable press properties shrinkage tensile strength and free formaldehyde level ______________________________________sample 1 2 3______________________________________ d p 3 wash 3 8 3 7 3 8 shrinkage 3 wash w f 2 0 2 0 1 4 tensile strength retained 87 83 89 85 86 82 warp fill formaldehyde ppm 301 389 173______________________________________ durable press appearance rating aatcc scale 1241973 it is evident that.
