Abstract: Wet and dry crocking are reduced on dyed textile cellulosic materials and their blends by aftertreatment with finish mixtures containing effective amounts of a reactive polyamine component and a blocked urethane prepolymer component. The polyamine component is a polyamide, epoxidized polyamide, chain-extended polyamide, epoxidized chain extended polyamide, epoxidized polyamine or epoxidized polyalkylenimine and the blocked urethane prepolymer component is a reaction product of excess polyisocyanate and hydroxy terminated polyether or hydroxy terminated polyester whose reactive isocyanate groups are blocked. Finish mixtures are applied to the dyed textile material, dried and cured to improve wet and dry crockfastness.

Abstract: Highly opaque printed areas are produced on uncolored or precolored fabrics pursuant to this invention with the use of an aqueous opaque printing paste comprising a dispersion of an opacifying pigment and an aqueous curable latex polymer binder. In accordance with the invention multicolor prints with a variety of unique and visually appealing shade possibilities and color effects not heretofore possible are achieved.

Abstract: Highly opaque printed areas are produced on uncolored or precolored fabrics with the use of an aqueous opaque printing paste comprising a dispersion of an opacifying pigment, an aqueous curable polymer binder, and a dye for coloring the polymer binder and thereby imparting a predetermined desired color to the printed area. In accordance with the invention multicolor prints with a variety of unique and visually appealing shade possibilities and color effects not heretofore possible are achieved.
