Abstract
A commercial modified glyoxal-based resin product is used for the chemical end-finish of linen and ramie fabrics in wet fixation with standard curing time. The finishing technology recommended by the manufacturer significantly spoils the tensile and tearing properties, and decreases the resilience of the fabrics, and results in a considerable increase exclusively in wet crease recovery angle. The ramie is more sensitive to the applied finishing and expresses a greater strength loss than linen. Concentration of resin and acid has significant effect on both tensile and crease recovery properties, while concentration of the softener affects only the resilience of the fabrics.
