The preparation of an alternative polycarboxylic acid to replace the most promising but expensive crosslinking reagent butanetetracarboxylic acid (BTCA) was reported in Part I. 1 Part II studies the efficiency of the crosslinking of cotton with the dithiosuccinic acid derivative of s ‐triazine (HDTST). Diffuse Reflectance infrared (DR FTIR) spectroscopy in combination with wrinkle recovery angle measurements (WRA) were used to analyse the efficiency of cotton cellulose crosslinking. Energy Dispersive X‐ray analysis (EDX) of the polycarboxylic acid‐finished cotton fabric was performed to study sulphur distribution. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 66: 171–177, 1997
