Abstract:In this paper new pad-dry-bake finishing processes for silk fabric using epoxy resins were investigated. NaH2PO4 was employed as the buffer for the alkali produced in the course of processing in order to inhibit the yellowing of the fabric. Padding epoxy resin and a catalyst to the fabric in a separate bath renders the solution stable and helps to retain the natural luster and hydrophilicity of the silk. The processes in which epoxy resins, especially TEG and DEE, would provide significant modifications in resistance to light-yellowing and crease-proofing are examined and the 'water-spot' problem, which can occur with treated tussah silk fabric, was substantially eliminated.
