Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a treatment composition for polyester and polyester blends including a hydrophilic copolymer and a hydrophilic, reactive polyurethane and the process for treating the textile material. When the treatment composition is applied to a textile which is 100% cellulosic textile material, the treatment composition includes at least one fluorochemical copolymer and at least one hydrophilic reactive polyurethane. In both cases, the treated textile material exhibits both increased oil and grease absorbance and good rinsing properties.
The present invention is directed to a method for color management by a retailer comprising the steps of: choosing an engineered color standard (ECS); communicating the ECS to a product vendor; having a product produced using the ECS; and controlling the product's color quality by comparing the ECS to the produced product. The ECS preferably comprises reflectance data and a dye specification.
