Easy-Care Resin Finish DMDHEU (Crease Resistance)
CAS Number: 1854-26-8
DMDHEU (Dimethylol Dihydroxyethylene Urea) easy-care resin finish is the industry-standard crosslinking agent for imparting durable press and wrinkle resistance to cotton and cotton-blend fabrics. Applied by pad-dry-cure with a catalyst, it forms crosslinks between cellulose chains, permanently setting the fabric in a smooth, wrinkle-resistant state. Used worldwide in cotton shirting, bed sheets, and home textile finishing.
