| abstract |
Method for imparting resilience and crease resistance to synthetic fibers, particularly knitted fabrics, by applying to the fibers a composition obtained by mixing a hydroxylated polydiorganosiloxane, an organosilane having amino and alkoxy or alkoxyalkoxy groups in the molecule and an organosilane having alkoxy or alkoxyalkoxy groups and hydrogen atoms, monovalent hydrocarbon or halogenated hydrocarbon groups in the molecule. Partial hydrolysates of the silanes may optionally be used. The applied composition is then cured at normal or elevated temperatures. |
