1. A PROCESS FOR FINISHING WOOLEN MATERIAL, WHICH COMPRISES TREATING THE WOOLEN MATERIAL AT 30 TO 100* C. WITH AN AQUEOUS PREPARATION OF REACTION PRODUCTS OF EPOXIDES, POLYMERIC FATTY ACIDS AND AMINES, SAID PRODUCTS OF EPOXIDES, TAINED BY REACTING (A) A REACTION PRODUCT OF AT LEAST (A'') ONE EPODIXE WHICH CONTAINS AT LEAST TWO EPOXIDE GROUPS PER MOLECULE AND AT LEAST (A") ONE POLYMERIC UNSATURATED FATTY ACID, DERIVED FROM A FATTY ACID OF 16 TO 22 CARBON ATOMS, WITH THE RATIO OF EQUIVALENTS OF EPOXIDE GROUPS TO ACID GROUPS BEING 0.45:1 TO 0.95:1, WITH (B) AMMONIA OR AN ALIPHATIC OR CYCLOALIPHATIC AMINE WHICH IS A PRIMARY, SECONDARY OR TERTIARY AMINE CONTAINING NO NON-BASIC NITROGEN ATOMS, IN THE PRESENCE OF AN ORGANIC SOLVENT, WITH THE RATIO OF EQUIVALENTS OF ACID GROUPS TO HYDROGEN BONDED AMINE NITROGEN, TO TERITARY AMINO GROUPS OR TO AMMONIA BEING 1:1 TO 1:10, WHEREIN THE REACTION BETWEEN COMPONENTS (a) AND (B) IS CARRIED OUT AT A TEMPERATURE IN THE RANGE OF 20 TO 120* C., AND THEN RINSING AND DRYING THE TREATED WOOLEN MATERIAL. |
