  • Methods for improving dimensional stability and/or durable press properties of elastic fabrics and elastic fabrics with improved properties
    Publication number: 20040068802
    Abstract: Methods for providing elastic fabric comprising synthetic elastic fibers and natural fibers with improved dimensional stability or improved durable press while maintaining stretch recovery properties comprise treating the fabric with a treatment composition comprising formaldehyde and a catalyst for crosslinking the formaldehyde with natural fibers in the fabric, and processing the treated fabric to effect crosslinking of the formaldehyde and to maintain stretch performance properties. Fabrics comprising synthetic elastic fibers and natural fibers exhibiting improved dimensional stability and/or durable press properties in combination with additional advantageous properties are produced.
