Abstract:
A treated garment, especially white socks, treated with a soil release composition and a process for treating the garment are disclosed. A majority of polyester yarns from profiled cross section high moisture wicking capacity filaments are disclosed in a garment and sock construction which optionally includes other polyester yarns, polyamide yarns, cotton yarns and spandex. The garments so constructed and treated are rendered resistant to soil re-depositing after repeated wearing and washing cycles.
Abstract:
Knit fabrics and socks made therefrom and a process for producing such articles are disclosed, The fabrics are constructed from blended yarns containing at least 30% by weight high tensile nylon, which imparts abrasion resistance, and at least one companion fiber, which is chosen to confer a specific desirable attribute. Exemplary is the fabric constructed from blended yarn containing high tensile nylon staple and polyester staple, the fabric being particularly useful for the manufacture of socks demonstrating improved durability and moisture management.
Abstract:
A binder system for applying microcapsules to textile materials includes microcapsules in a binder composition. The binder composition includes: (i) a component selected from the group consisting of: an alkoxylated fatty acid amide, alkyl sulfonate salt, an amino-silicone softener, and mixtures thereof; and (ii) a component selected from the group consisting of: a glyoxal type wrinkle resistant resin, an imidazole type wrinkle resistant resin, a cationic polyamine, a curable silicone resin, a polyurethane resin, and mixtures thereof. Methods for making the binder system as well as methods for applying the binder system to textile materials are also provided.
