Abstract: A composition comprising (a) a homo- or copolymer obtainable by polymerisation of at least one ethylenically un-saturated nitrogen-containing heterocyclic compound and (b) a polyethyleneimine, is suitable for afterclearing a printed or dyed textile material, in particular cotton fibres dyed or printed with reactive dyes.

Abstract: Compositions which, as well as water, contain certain sulfonate salts or polyhydric alcohols together with ethoxylated/propoxylated alcohols and ethoxylated alcohols and also poly(meth)acrylic acid, polymaleic acid or partially hydrolyzed polymaleic anhydride are useful for pretreating textile sheet materials. Further ingredients also render them useful for hydrogen peroxide bleaching. The compositions, which provide the textiles with good primary wettability and good rewettability, are low-foaming. Batchwise pretreatment processes, for example in jet machines, therefore represent no problem.

Abstract: Compositions that include a mixture of three different ethoxylated alcohols with or without further products are useful for pretreating textile materials, especially cotton fabrics. The compositions have acceptable viscosities and are preferably used in the form of aqueous solutions or dispersions. These have little if any tendency to form foam, are highly compatible with enzymes and impart very good rewettability to textiles treated therewith.
