  • Enhanced transfer printability treatment method and composition
    Patent number: 4781725
    Abstract: The transfer printability of fabric materials containing at least a minor proportion of cellulosic or natural proteinaceous fibers such as, for example, cotton, rayon, cellulose acetate, wool, silk, etc. is notably improved by a treatment in which said fabric material is impregnated with certain glycoside reagents. Especially preferred glycoside reagents for use in such treatment are C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 alkyl monoglucosides.
