fabric of continuous filament cellulose triacetate of 3 denier per filament was placed in a distilling flask with a solution comprising 20 grams o phenylene diamine 2 grams ethylene diamine and 200 ml ethyl acholol the mixture was heated at a refluxing temperature of 78 u00b0 c for 12 hours the fabric was then removed washed with water and dried the fabric was found to contain nh or nh 2 groups by the naocl phenol test the fabric showed very good wash and wear properties after three launderings each utilizing a 30 minute wash cycle and 30 minute drying cycle there was good crease retention in comparison to untreated fabric similarly laundered the fabric had a slight tan color but this color was found to be removable by immersion of the fabric in an aqueous soluton containing 2 textone and 2 acetic acid and maintained at 80 u00b0 90 u00b0 c the fabric no longer had a propensity to develop a static charge such transformation is attributable to the high moisture content of the treated fabric greater wear comfort is also provided because of the fabric 39 s ability to transpire perspiration a twenty gram piece of plain weave fabric of continuous filament cellulose triacetate of 3.
