  • Alkylated methylol melamine resin condensate compositions having low formaldehyde release
    Patent number: 4413100
    Abstract: Methylated methylol melamine resin condensate compositions, represented by the empirical formula:MF.sub.3-4 Me.sub.0.5-3wherein M represents a melamine moiety, F represents a formaldehyde moiety, and Me represents a methyl group moiety, are combined with from about 5 percent to about 30 percent by weight of urea, based on the resin condensate solids content, to provide modified methylated methylol melamine resin condensate compositions which exhibit a reduced tendency to release formaldehyde into the atmosphere during curing of the textile materials treated therewith or during storage of the treated textile materials during storage at elevated temperatures.
