Application of softner in anti-creasing finish of cotton fabric by use of wool keratin solution

The cotton fabric was finished with filtered wool keratin solution for anti-creasing.With the addition of EGDE and in the premise of ensuring wash ability and adding softner DT-7730,the effect of different concentrate of softner on anti-creasing and fabric softness were tested and analyzed.Through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis,the result shows that wool protein solution as a finishing agent has a good adsorption of cotton fabric,the wash ability of the cotton fabric finished with wool keratin solution is improved remarkably by the addition of EGDE.With the addition of polysiloxane softner,fabric crease recovery can improve further.It is found that cotton fabric finish with wool protein and by adding 3%softner DT-7730 can have largest crease recovery angle.
