good quality by the summer of 1940.
The new process is an improvement on previous crease resistant treatments for cotton because it does not seriously lessen the strength of the fabric and can therefore be used on sheer as well as very heavy materials.
The company said successful tests had been made in co-operation with cotton mills during the past year on ginghams, piques, chambrays, seer-suckers, domestic linens, and other standard cotton fabrics.
Sample fabrics on display had a firmer feel than untreated samples and none of the familiar cotton limpness after crushing in the hand.
The finish withstands washing (the equivalent of 40 home launders by test) and dry cleaning. It can be expected to eliminate much of the starching from the weekly wash-day, although treated garments may be starched without harming the finish.
The treatment can be applied to cotton yardage with existing finish-equipment, the firm said, plus additional heat for "curing." The process also controls shrinkage to within 2 per cent. Treated material may be sanforized to reduce shrinkage below 1 per cent if desired. It was estimated that the crease resistance treatment would add not more than 10 cents per yard to the cost of fabric.
The firm reported some results of standard tests for resistance. The test places a fold of fabric under weight and rates it from 0 to 4 on the amount of crease which "hangs out" under standardized conditions. Treated chambray rated 3.6 as opposed to 1.2 for the same fabric untreated. The resistance of seersucker was raised from 1.1 to 3.2.
Wool worsteds, the livest, most crease resistant of natural fibres, test between 3.4 and 3.6.
