(54) Process for treating textile fabrics and compositions for use therein


(57) A process for imparting crease-resistance or shrink-­resistance to a textile fabric, by impregnating the fabric with a solution of a uron resin of the formula

where R₁ and R₂ are H, -CH₂OH or alkyloxymethyl, and subsequently heat-curing the resin in the fabric, is carried out with a polyol having 2 to 4 carbon atoms, such as diethylene glycol, in the solution to inhibit the build-up of solids on heated elements which the impregnated fabric contacts during processing.
