(57) A method finishing keratinous textile articles, for example wool fabrics, which comprises
treating the articles with an anti-felt polymer for example isocyanate functional
or bunte salt functional polymers, and a polymer of chlorinated ethylenically unsaturated
monomer, for example polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, polypropylene, and
dichlorobutadiene. Thereafter, the articles are treated with an anionic titanium or
zirconium complex at low pH. Textiles so treated exhibit both shrink-resistant and
flame-retardant properties.
