Textile Applications
GOHSENOL has been used as a warp sizing agent and as a fabric processing resin.
- Characteristics of GOHSENOL
- GOHSENOL as a warp sizing agent, has excellent film forming properties. The obtained films have excellent flexibility, tough tensile strength, and good elasticity giving excellent resistance to wear, smoothness, and fluff binding properties.
Additionally, as compared with starch, the possibility of decomposition or putrefaction is very low, and fungi rarely develop. Furthermore, G type GOHSENOL particularly, has excellent water-solubility and can be easily desized. - Applications as a Fabric Treating Agent
- Thermosetting resins such as urea-formaldehyde and melamine-formaldehyde resins are used for finishing of fabrics for shrink-proofness and crease resistance. As GOHSENOL chemically crosslinks with thermosetting resins, the addition of 5-10 weight % of GOHSENOL to thermosetting resins is effective for avoiding reduction due to finishing of tear strengths of finished fabrics.
On the other hand, GOHSENOL is popularly used alone or in combination with urea-formaldehyde and melamine-aldehyde initial condensates. It has also been used as a finishing agent for white fabrics, plain dyed fabrics, and printed fabrics, because rigid and transparent looking finishes are obtained even with a low GOHSENOL addition.
