The chemical reactions concerned in the preparation of thermosetting resins based particularly on urea or melamine and formaldehyde are discussed, together with the newer cellulose cross‐linking agents, including cyclic urea—formaldehyde derivatives and non‐nitrogenous compounds, e.g. glycol acetals and epoxides. The effect of ancillary processes on the properties of resin‐treated fabrics and the incorporation of additives in the resin bath are reviewed, with particular reference to the production of smooth‐drying cellulosic fabrics, and the problems encountered in producing chlorine‐resistant finishes are outlined. Newer developments in the fields of water‐repellent treatment and durable flameproofing of cellulosic fabrics are also discussed, and reference is made to the rotproofing of cellulosic materials and the production of bactericidal finishes.
