Physicochemical Behavior of Hercosett/Anionic Surfactant Dispersion and Application on Untreated Wool to Impart Shrinkproofing

Abstract
The physicochemical properties of dispersions made with the cationic resin Hercosett 57 and anionic surfactants have been investigated. The influence of the hydrocarbon chain and the anionic groups of surfactants has been investigated to determine the relationship between the components and their interactions. The application of resin surfactant complexes on untreated wool samples to confer shrink resistance has also been investigated.
