Abstract

Cotton fabrics were treated with glyoxal for a nonformaldehyde durable-press finish by a pad-dry-cure method. $MgCl_{2}/citric$ acid mixture or $Al_{2}(SO_{4})_{3}$ were used as a catalyst. The effects of additives such as sodium tetraborate decahydrate (STB), sodium peroxoborate tetrahydrate (SPB), and sodium chlorite (SC) were examined. The additives improved the whiteness and strength retention of the treated fabrics. SPB was superior to STB for the whiteness and strength retention. SC was better than either SPB or STB in the wrinkle recovery angles (WRA) and strength retention while the whiteness was similar to that of SPB or STB. SC was more effective for improving the whiteness and strength retention when it was used together with sodium phosphate monobasic.
