Abstract: Water-soluble finishing systems that contain polymerizable vinyl monomers, reactive-or-coreactive phosphorus-containing organic compounds, and nitrogen-containing compounds are used to treat cellulose fiber and/or synthetic fiber structures to produce products that are flame resistant and have other desirable performance properties.

Abstract: Process for the easy-care finishing of cellulosics involving low formaldehyde release, wherein the cellulosics, after having been impregnated with a solution of aminoplast-forming substances and dried, are sprayed with a solution of urea.

Abstract: Fibrous materials such as textiles and paper are rendered oil and water resistant by treatment with polymers and copolymers of ##EQU1## wherein X and X' are halogen.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for making textiles containing cellulose crease-resistant.The process of the invention involves contacting the textile with an aqueous treatment bath to which alkali chlorides or bromides of sodium and potassium have been added and which contains 1,3-dimethylol-4,5-dihydroxyethylene urea, the hydroxyl and methylol groups of which can optionally be partially or completely etherified with low, monohydric aliphatic alcohols with 1 to 3 carbon atoms and potential acid catalysts. It is possible for the treatment bath to contain in addition other precondensates normally used in the treatment of textiles provided at least 40% by weight based on the weight of the sum of the N-methylol derivatives calculated as anhydrous substances is the optionally etherified 1,3-dimethylol-4,5-dihydroxyethylene urea.
