Rot- and Weather-Resistance of Methylolmelamine-Treated Cotton Fabrics

Abstract

White cotton fabrics treated to contain 9 to 12% methylolmelamine resin, which should be sufficient for optimum long-term environmental protection, were subjected to extended soil burial and outdoor weathering exposure. Fabrics treated to contain 9 to 12% methylolmelamine resin by the 'Arigal' process and the 'dry-cure' process of Berard were quite resistant to microbiological degradation during extended soil burial. Despite differences between processes, all treated fabrics containing 9 to 12% resin weathered excellently outdoors.
