Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0173186A2] Methods for providing fabric with improved fibrillation resistance and/or improved pill resistance comprise treating the fabric or fibers thereof with a treatment composition comprising formaldehyde, catalyst for cross-linking the formaldehyde with natural fibers in the fabric, and silicone elastomer or a precursor thereof, and heating the treated fabric to effect cross-linking of the formaldehyde. Fabrics having improved fibrillation resistance and/or improved pill resistance, and in specific embodiments, in combination with additional advantageous properties, are produced.
