Concentrations of methylol carbamates in several crosslinking formulations prepared from methyl carbamate and formaldehyde and with and without urea or ethyleneurea as scavengers were determined by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The scavengers were effective in reducing the free formaldehyde in the solution, but the dimethylol methyl carbamate concentration was reduced by about 25%. Selected chemical and physical properties were obtained from cotton fabrics finished with five different formulations of known composition. Fabric strengths were improved by use of a scavenger, but some undesirable side effects were observed.
