Abstract: The object of the present invention is to provide a fabric treating agent to satisfy good sewability required to interior material fabrics for vehicles including automobiles and trains, the good sewability which arises from the trend toward ultrafiner fibers for manufacturing the fabrics, change in fabric structure from weave to knit, and increasing sewing machine speed. The present invention provides the fabric treating agent comprising at least one wax (a) selected from the group consisting of a paraffin wax having a melting point of 60° C. or higher, an oxidized paraffin wax having a melting point of 60° C. or higher, a polyethylene wax having a melting point of 100° C. or higher, and an oxidized polyethylene wax having a melting point of 100° C. or higher; and a nonionic surfactant (b). The present invention also provides a process for producing fabrics applied with the fabric treating agent, and provides vehicle interior material fabrics.

Abstract: The present invention provides a fiber-treating process wherein fiber is treated, in the presence of a polymerization initiator, with a fiber-treating composition containing (A) reactive protein synthesized by chemically bonding protein with a compound having polymerizable unsaturated group(s) or (A?) grafted protein which has been produced by graft-copolymerizing (C) hydrophilic monomer having vinyl group(s) onto (A) reactive protein synthesized by chemically bonding protein with a compound having polymerizable unsaturated group(s), and (B) hydrophilic monomer having vinyl group(s). The process provides fiber imparted with moisture absorbability and releasability durable against washing, antistaticity, water absorbability, and dry hand.

Abstract: The present invention provides a fiber-treating process wherein fiber is treated, in the presence of a polymerization initiator, with a fiber-treating composition containing (A) reactive protein synthesized by chemically bonding protein with a compound having polymerizable unsaturated group(s) or (A′) grafted protein which has been produced by graft-copolymerizing (C) hydrophilic monomer having vinyl group(s) onto (A) reactive protein synthesized by chemically bonding protein with a compound having polymerizable unsaturated group(s), and (B) hydrophilic monomer having vinyl group(s).

Abstract: The present invention provides an oligomer inhibitor for polyester fiber that fundamentally solves the troubles caused from oligomer in dyeing process of polyester fiber or polyester blend fiber, a combination of polyester fiber and other fibers, without adverse effect on the dyeability of fiber.
