TECHNICAL FIELD
The present disclosure relates to a synergistic composition comprising non-ionic wetting agent, DMDHEU resin, resin catalyst, polysiloxane, polyalkyne, polyurethane, silicon, organic additive and optionally glycerol. The present disclosure further relates to a method of obtaining said synergistic composition along with a process of obtaining the wrinkle free garment which can withstand up to 50 washes of home laundering.
BACKGROUND AND PRIOR ART
The art of making wrinkle free cotton garments is age old, however the aspect of sustainability has always been an issue. The maximum amount of sustainability that is presently offered in the textile industry is about 10-15 washes of the cotton garment. The Finishing or curing treatment of garments to achieve permanent press properties was first presented in the year 1987 at the international AATCC conference in charlotte, NC, USA. The two options that were discussed was firstly vapour phase finishing of cotton garments with gaseous formaldehyde and secondly the DMDHEU immersion finishing. Further, at least one garment manufacturer had begun immersion finishing of cotton garments at that time. However, the trend of ‘finishing treatment’ was established by the mid 1990's. Today, it is observed that there is a wide spread consumer interest in the latest version of permanent press, popularly known as “wrinkle free effect”.
The Idea of wrinkle free /wrinkle resistant cotton rings a bale to those who hate ironing shirts all the time. After all if cotton shirts can be made to resist those unwanted creases and wrinkles then why even bother with regular cotton? This is the very idea that early researchers and garment manufacturers were tinkering with when synthetic fabrics such as nylon were beginning to replace cotton. Cotton manufacturer had to find a way to market cotton as a favorable choice of fabric. During 1950s, a researcher named Ruth Benerito made notable accomplishments in producing easy care cotton fabrics. The good news with this approach was that the garments made by this process were wrinkle resistant. However, the bad news was, that this process required the use of formaldehyde, a harsh chemical used for preserving dead animals and body parts, and classified by US environmental protection act.

The cotton clothing available in the present market are wrinkle free in nature. However, these cotton clothing wrinkle badly when it gets wet, due to improper chemical treatment subjected to cotton. The cotton garments available today work on the principle of ‘wash and wear’. The present challenge is to attain maximum wash durability of the garments. Hence, the present disclosure attempts to overcome the above observed drawbacks.

In still another embodiment of the present disclosure, the curing is carried out at
temperature ranging from about 150°C to about 160°C, preferably about 155°C, for a
duration of time ranging from about 6 minutes to about 10 minutes, preferably about 8
minutes.
In still another embodiment of the present disclosure, the garment is wrinkle free for
atleast 50 washes.
The present disclosure relates to a wrinkle free taped-garment obtained by spraying a
garment with the synergistic composition.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the garment is wrinkle free for atleast 50
washes.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, a pre-treated fabric is subjected to further
treatments and converted into a desired garment. The fabric processing involves the
following steps: singing, desizing, scouring, bleaching, mercerization finishing with
suebility softer (should not contain any silicon) and finally sanforising. The treatment
with suebility softener prevents the fabric from becoming harsh which otherwise would
restrict the smooth movement of the fabric at the time of sewing. The end result of this
processing is a fabric which is silicon free as presence of silicon hinders the absorbency
of the fabric. This treated fabric is subjected to further taping to get the clean look of
seams. On the other hand, in a non tape garment the seam will be puckered before wash
itself, after wash these puckering will increase.
In another embodiment of the present disclosure, in case of a taped garment after wash also, seam will remain clean and flat. Although seam appearance is not related to fabric smoothness appearance, and crease recovery, but affects seam smoothness appearance which is vital for the overall garment appearance rating. Tape is a bonding element comprising a thermal adhesive. These tapes have to be in between garment element, specifically at seams and stitching has to be done along a seam line. After, stitching heat and pressure is applied which will cause the adhesive to melt and flow along the seams to bond at least one garment component. The thermal adhesive tape should have melting point more than about 150°C, preferably about 160°C, so that when subsequent curing

will happen at about 155°C, the tape will not melt again, other wise puckering will happen on the garment.
In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the shape of these thermal adhesive tapes are available in straight and U shapes, which are used to incorporate/make various seams like yoke seam, shoulder seam, side seam, pocket seam, hem botton stay seam, sleeve seam, collar seam and arm hole seam.
In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the instant process is used for cotton fabrics and broadly follows the following steps: The fabric converted to desired taped cotton garment shirt is dipped into the instant chemical composition which in-turn is absorbed by the cotton fibers of the garment. After the chemical treatment of the garment in a tumbler, the garment is moisturized and is pressed entirely. During, the pressing operation of the garment using the various Viet-kanengiesser (for example on the collar, cuffs, sleeves and body of the shirt), the curing process is started. After pressing, the garment is put on a hanger and is cured in the curing oven at a temperature of about 155°C for a time duration of about 6 minutes to about 10 minutes. One of the key factors in the instant disclosure, for the perfect wrinkle free appearance of the garment is the pressing quality. This is because once the curing operation is carried out in an oven, all the wrinkles stay for life and re-ironing is not a valid option to remove these permanent creases.
The present disclosure relates to a synergistic chemical composition comprising non-ionic wetting agent, DMDHEU resin, resin catalyst, polysiloxane, polyalkyne, polyurethane, silicon and organic additive, optionally along with glycerol.
In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the resin used in the following examples is DMDHEU and modified DMDHEU. These are compounds which contain N-methylol and mainly N-alkoxymethyl groups in it as depicted in figure 1. Further, these resins are are extensively used in the textile industry. During the finishing process the N-methylol compounds of the resin react with hydroxyl groups of the cellulose, which is one of the

most preferred reaction. Further, the groups also react among themselves or with the reactive NH groups. Thus, this modified resin reduces the formaldehyde released and the value of which is below 75 ppm. The resin used in the instant disclosure is modified Dimethylol,dihydroxy, ethelene urea or DMDHEU.
In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the catalyst used is MgCl2 and MnCl2. The catalyst is salt of a metal like MgCl2, which accelerates the rate of reaction between the resin and the cellulose.
In another embodiment of the present disclosure, silicon softners are used which is an aqueous solution based on organo modified polysiloxane. Specifically, the polysiloxane used is di-alkyl polysiloxane and amino polysiloxane; The softener used should have approximately about 50% maximum of non volatile matter. This improves the softness and bounciness of the garment.
In another embodiment of the present disclosure, polyalkynes are employed which are suitable for the purpose of the instant disclosure, specifically polyethylene and polypropylene are used. A molecule of polyethylene comprises of a long chain of carbon atoms, with two hydrogen atoms attached to each carbon atom. This reacts with the cellulose to give better stability in terms of wrinkle free recovery and shape of garment.
In another embodiment of the present disclosure, polyurethane employed in the instant disclosure is a substance categorized as a polymer based on its chemical structure. It has a unique characteristic that offers the elasticity of rubber combined with the toughness and durability for the garment. Further, also gives better abrasion and tear resistance and superior impact resistance to the garment.
In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the amino functional silicon is emulsified in order to facilitate their incorporation into fabric softeners. Microemulsions typically have a particle size below 100 nm and can penetrate into the yarns and deposit into the fabric fibres which further gives inner softness to the garment. The micro amino

silicon employed in the instant disclosure is micro silicon emulsified in alcohol ethoxylate and is depicted in figure 2. The pre-emulsified silicon fluid is a modified version of amino silicons but is pre-emulsified. The major difference however is that the fluid has more solid content when compared to amino silicons, which is almost 90-95%. Thus, it helps in getting the feel and bounciness of the garment, and improves the wrinkle recovery by establishing the reaction with the main chain of resin and cellulose.
In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the nano silicon is emulsified in an emulsifier group comprising of noneyl phenol ethoxylate and ethylene oxide derivatives.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the high molecular weight synergistic additive used in the instant disclosure is a product which is silicon based but with high molecular weight, this imparts inner softness of the fabric and helps in increasing its tear strength. The organic additive is selected from a group comprising paraffin wax emulsified in castor oil ethoxylate and di-alkyl di-methyl ammonium chloride.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the fabric may be faced with unacceptable losses in tensile strength, tear strength and abrasion resistance in the fabric during the process of cross linking. Hence, due to the added value, the garment rejects due to low strength may prove to be more expensive than fabric rejects.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, for producing an acceptable wrinkle free garment, several precautions are taken in during the fabric selection, which is briefly elaborated below:
1. The base fabric must have sufficient strength to withstand upto 40 to 60 percent loss in tensile and tear strength and still maintain sufficient strength to provide garment of acceptable wear life and durability.
2. It must have excellent absorbency to allow resin to penetrate into very interior of the fibres and form cross links. Surface adhering resins do not serve any useful purpose and are inefficient and wasteful.

3. If fabric is dyed the dye must be fast to acid catalyst and high temperatures,Sulfur dyes which are known to generate acid upon storage, are strictly avoided.
4. Residual extracts on the fabric (like starch from size) can react with resin. Hence, a high degree of size removal is essential.
5. Fabric PH should be maintained between 6.5 to 7.0 with an alkalinity of less than 0.05 percent (expressed as sodium hydroxide).
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the instant cotton garment requirement is
provided below:
The garment, for example a shirt should be fully taped. Fully taped means, taping has
been done and fused in following areas of the garment.
1.Side seams
2.Yoke seam
3.pocket seam
4.Armhole
5.placket seam
6.sleeve placket seam
7.shoulder seam
Further, the tape, interlining and sewing threads should withstand temperature of about
155°C to about 160°C for time duration of about 10 minutes.
In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the instant process involves the preparation of the synergistic chemical composition comprising non-ionic wetting agent, DMDHEU resin, resin catalyst, polysiloxane, polyalkyne, polyurethane, silicon and organic additive, optionally along with glycerol, followed by the spraying of the chemical composition onto the garment using a spraying machine, the garment is dried in a drying machine and thereafter the dried garment is subjected to steam pressing. For the required crease setting and to obtain the desired wrinkle free feel, this treated garment is subjected to curing. The treated garment is further cooled to obtain the wrinkle free garment. Further, a raw fabric is converted by conventionally known methods to a desired garment and then subjected to the instant composition treatment.

In another embodiment of the instant disclosure, the tear strength requirement is high, the fabric that is used has the tear strength of Warp 3492gms, weft 2722 gms, tensile warp of 34 kg and weft 47 kgs. The strength should be on higher side specifically > 2500 gms tear for both warp and weft and tensile should be >30 kg for warp and weft so that the final garment will have enough strength to withstand 50 washes. This is required as about 40 -60 % strength loss happens during garment processing.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, modified DMDHEU is being used, where the formaldehyde release is very low (50-60 ppm) and thereby meets the requirement given in environmental protection act. Further, with the instant formulation of chemicals the wash sustainability of wrinkle free garments is observed to be about 50 washes of Home laundering.
The examples elaborated below, make use of the applicable terminologies, such as Smoothness appearance (SA), Seam smoothness and the Crease retention (CR) used by persons skilled in the art to define wrinkle free nature of a fabric.
The composition of instant disclosure is synergistic in nature. The composition shows extraordinary activity in obtaining wrinkle free garment. The activity of the composition is well beyond the expectations of the inventors and is also significantly more than the additive effects of the individual components namely non-ionic wetting agent, DMDHEU resin, resin catalyst, polysiloxane, polyalkyne, polyurethane, silicon and organic additive, optionally along with glycerol. Thus, the activity is surprising/ extra-ordinary, synergistic in nature when combined together and is thus both novel and inventive in nature. Lastly, the Industrial Application of the composition is also well-established. Therefore, the instant composition is a leap forward in the textile industry.
The present disclosure is further described with the help of the following examples and figures. However, these examples should not be construed to limit the scope of the disclosure.

EXAMPLE 1
A treated cotton fabric is taken and converted into a desired taped garment by industrially known methods. This garment is further subjected to the instant treatment to obtain the desired wrinkle free effect on the garment.
1. Chemical Composition
This above pre-treated taped cotton garment is taken and treated with the prepared
chemical composition comprising of the following constituents:
water (about 25°C to about 30°C) : appx:13 ltr
non-ionic wetting agent : about 0.05% to about 0.5%
DMDHEU resin : about 7% to about 8%
resin catalyst : about 20 to about 25% of
the concentration of resin.
polysiloxane : about 3% to about 4%
polyalkyne : about 2% to about 3%
polyurethane : about 2 to about 4%
micro silicon : about 2% to about 3%
nano Sillicon : about 0.5% to about 1%
organic additive : about 0.5% to about 2%
glycerol : about 0.25% to about 1%
The above mentioned chemical constituents, in the mentioned concentrations when dissolved in water constitute the instant chemical composition.
In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the non-ionic wetting agent is a blend of an organic solvent and an emulsifier and is chosen from Resiscour MCW or Alba fluid C, the DMDHEU resin is chosen from Resil LFR (Low formaldehyde resin) or Acrofix VLF, the catalyst is selected from a group comprising MgCl2 and MnCl2, the polysiloxane is selected from a group comprising di-alkyl polysiloxane and amino polysiloxane and is chosen from Innocelle FSS (Finishing agent for super speciality

product) or Lyzer soft MRF, the polyalkyne is selected from a group comprising polyethylene and polypropylene and is chosen from Ultrafab CSLF (Cata silicon low foaming) or Ultrafab RTS, the micro silicon is emulsified in alcohol ethoxylate and is chosen from GMS (Granilo micro silicone) or solusoft MW, the nano silicon is emulsified in an emulsifier group comprising of noneyl phenol ethoxylate and ethylene oxide derivatives and is chosen as solusoft SE1 oil which is a highly concentrated pre-emulsified silicon fluid, the polyurethane is chosen from ultrafab HPU (Hydrophilic polyurethane) or Hydroperm RPU, the organic additive is selected from a group comprising paraffin wax emulsified in castor oil ethoxylate and di-alkyl di-methyl ammonium chloride, preferably paraffin wax emulsified in castor oil ethoxylate and is chosen from solusoft TOWI or TLR, which is a high molecular weight synergistic additive and the glycerol used can also be substituted with liquid wax.
The organic solvent in the non-ionic wetting agent is selected from a group comprising cetyl alcohol and polyoxyethylene fatty acid and the emulsifier in the non-ionic wetting agent is selected from a group comprising polyhydric alcohol, ethoxylate of oleyl alcohol and di-ethylene glycol.
The nano silicon used in the instant disclosure is maintained in an emulsion to make the nano silicon stable, but as the particle size of solids is very less (nano) the requirement of emulsifier is very less to stabilize it, hence the term self emulsifier is used in the present context.
In another embodiment of the instant disclosure, the resin crosslinks with the cotton, the resin catalyst increases the rate of the reaction, Innocelle FSS is used for the silky hand feel and softness, GMS improves the inner softness, CSLF improves crease recovery, HPU improves body and impart fullness, SE1 oil reduces the stiffness of the garment, TLR improves the tear strength and glycerol gives the silky feel to the garment.

In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the above stated chemicals is prepared by dissolving in water and the instant composition is thereafter maintained at a pH of about 6 to about 7, preferably about 6.5.
2. Chemical Treatment and drying:
Once the chemical composition is prepared, spraying of the garments (inside out) is done in the spraying machine. The prepared instant composition is sprayed in a closed chamber for about 6 minutes to about 10 minutes, preferably about 8 minutes, at a temperature of about 25°C to about 30°C, preferably about 27°C in the rotating spraying machine through pump and sprayer. After about 10 minutes, the sprayed garments will be subjected to tumble drying in a drying machine.
3. Steam Pressing of garment:
The next step involves steam pressing of the garment. A steam press, sometimes called a Viet-kanengiesser collar,cuffs,sleeves and body - press machine is required for the instant disclosure. The steps followed here are body press, collar and cuff press, sleeve press, touch up press to avoid unwanted crease before curing.
A.] BODY PRESS
The first Step in pressing is body press and is carried out in a body pressing machine. The body of the garment is pressed by two pressing plates. For better access while loading and unloading the garment, for example a shirt onto the dummy, the front plate is moved aside on a rail. By a collar clamp and a built-in vacuum system, the shirt is fixed on the dummy. The time for pressing as well as the time for steaming is adjustable on a screen panel. Generally about 6 seconds to about 10 seconds is the pressing time, and about 4 seconds to about 6 seconds is the steaming time. Further, the steam pressure requirement is about 5 bar to about 6 bar.
B.] COLLAR AND CUFF PRESSING
The second step is collar and cuff pressing and is carried out in a collar cuff pressing machine. Its a single machine which can perform both the pressing at the same time. The machine is a electrically heated pressing machine with pneumatically working top buck.

Pressing time and temperature are adjustable as per the requirement. Generally the pressing time is about 8 seconds to about 12 seconds,and the pressure required is about 4 bar to about 6 bar.
C.] SLEEVE PRESSING
The third stage of pressing is sleeve pressing which is carried out at in the sleeve pressing machine. From armhole up to cuff, the sleeve needs to be placed with the help of suction followed by steaming and pressing to get the center sleeve crease. The steaming is done for time duration from about 4 seconds to about 6 seconds, followed by pressing for a time duration of about 6 seconds to about 10 seconds. The steam pressure should be about 5 bar to about 6 bar. The suction makes it easier to position the garment exactly before pressing and also guarantees an optimal cooling down after pressing.
The last step of pressing is touch–up. This is done in order to remove any unwanted crease before curing, because once the garment is cured those creases cannot be removed.
Further, before taking the garment for the pressing process, the garment should have little moisture in it, for example from about 10% to about 15% in order to get the clean effect after garment pressing.
4. Curing:
After steam pressing, the garments are subjected to curing for crease setting. Further, the garments are exposed to high temp in a closed chamber to get the wrinkle free effect in the cotton garment. In the curing process the temperature is an important factor, wherein the best temperature range was found to be about 150°C to about 160°C, preferably about 155°C for time duration of about 6 minutes to about 10 minutes, preferably about 8 minutes. Once curing is completed, the cotton garments are subjected to cooling.
EXAMPLE 2
The following protocol is applicable in case of fabric which is not pre-treated. Therefore initially the raw fabric is subjected to one of the conventional methods available for pre-

treatment which is briefly outlined below: The raw fabric is subjected to singing, desizing, scouring, bleaching, mercerization, then finishing without silicons, adding only suebility softer and finally sanforising. Mercerisation carried out in the instant disclosure is liquid ammonia mercerisation to get better absorbency and better fabric surface appearance.
In an embodiment of the present disclosure, once the pre-treatment is done to the raw fabric, the treated fabric is subjected to the process of taping. Taping is done to get the clean look of seams and is done using a tape, which is a bonding element comprising of a thermal adhesive. These tapes have to be in between garment element at seams and stitching has to happen along a seam line. Thereafter, heat and pressure is applied, which causes the adhesive to melt and flow along the seams to bond at least one garment component. The thermal adhesive tape should have melting point more than about 150°C, preferably about 160°C, so that when curing is done at 155°C, it should not melt again, other wise puckering will occur.
The fabric is then converted into a garment by conventionally known industrial methods and is subjected to the same treatment as described in Example 1, wherein the garment is first treated with the prepared chemical composition by spraying it inside out in a spraying machine. After 10 minutes, the garment is dried in a drying machine.
The garment then undergoes steam pressing using a steam press machine called a Viet-kanengiesser collar, cuffs, sleeves and body - press machine for imparting crease into the garment. The next step involves curing of the garment for crease setting followed by cooling of the garment in order to achieve the complete wrinkle free effect of the taped cotton garment.

Laboratory tests were conducted on various cotton fabrics, wherein the pre-treated fabric is converted into a desired garment and subjected to the prepared chemical composition comprising the following constituents in their specific concentrations. The instant

composition comprises of a non-ionic wetting agent, DMDHEU resin, resin catalyst, polysiloxane, polyalkyne, polyurethane, silicon and organic additive, optionally along with glycerol dissolved in distilled water.
The non-ionic wetting agent used in this example is Resiscour MCW, DMDHEU resin is Resil LFR, resin catalyst is MgCl2, the polysiloxane is Innocelle FSS, the polyalkyne is Ultrafab CSLF, the polyurethane is ultrafab HPU, the micro silicon is GMS, the nano silicon is solusoft SE1 oil and the organic additive as TLR. The relative concentrations of the constituents used are represented in Table 1 below. The taped cotton garment is sprayed inside out, with the chemical solution comprising the above mentioned constituents in their respective concentrations for 10 minutes and then dried in a drying machine. The chemical treatment and drying of the garment is followed by the process of steam pressing using a Viet-kanengiesser press and thereafter curing for crease setting (as mentioned in the Example 1). The garment is finally sent for drying and then tested for the specified parameters required to confirm the wrinkle free nature of the garment.
Further more, apart from the specific constituents used above the non-ionic wetting agent, a blend of an organic solvent and an emulsifier is also chosen as Alba fluid C, the DMDHEU resin is chosen as Acrofix VLF, the catalyst is selected from a group comprising MgCl2 and MnCl2, the polysiloxane is selected from a group comprising di-alkyl polysiloxane and amino polysiloxane and is chosen as Lyzer soft MRF, the polyalkyne is selected from a group comprising polyethylene and polypropylene and is chosen as Ultrafab RTS, the micro silicon emulsified in alcohol ethoxylate, is chosen as solusoft MW, the nano silicon is emulsified in noneyl phenol ethoxylate or ethylene oxide derivatives and is chosen as solusoft SE1 oil which is a highly concentrated pre-emulsified silicon fluid, the polyurethane is chosen as Hydroperm RPU, the organic additive is selected from a group comprising paraffin wax emulsified in castor oil ethoxylate and di-alkyl di-methyl ammonium chloride, preferably paraffin wax emulsified in castor oil ethoxylate and is chosen as solusoft TOWI, which is a high molecular weight synergistic additive and the glycerol used can also be substituted with liquid wax.

The various parameters taken into account for testing the garment’s wrinkle free nature are: Smoothness appearance (SA), Seam smoothness and the Crease retention (CR).
Smoothness appearance: The visual impression of planarity of a specimen quantified by
comparison with a set of reference standards, after standard home laundering. Evaluation
is performed using a standard lighting and viewing area by rating the appearance of
specimen in comparison with appropriate reference standards.
Crease retention: The visual impression of an inserted crease quantified by comparison
with a set of reference standards.
Seam smoothness: The visual impression of planarity of seamed specimen quantified by
comparison with set of reference standards.
The Visual standards are available at a rating of 1 to 5, wherein 1 is the lowest and 5 is
the highest rating.

The testing of the taped cotton garment for the effectiveness of the present treatment is done in such a way that the efficiency of the treatment is checked after 50 Home laundering washes. The each machine wash was conducted for 12 minutes, at a temperature of about 41 degree in 18 gallon of water with standard detergents, followed by Tumble drying of the garment.
The test results obtained are based on the parameters chosen as indications for determining the wrinkle free nature of the garment. These ratings of the parameters were tested over a scale of 1 to 5, wherein the rating of 4 provided for the high performing parameter and the lowest performing parameter attained a rating of 1. If a garment showed the value as 4 for all the parameters tested, then along with the soft hand feel and bounciness of the garment put together, it could be determined whether the treatment has been completely effective or not, and hence concluded if the garment has become permanently wrinkle free in nature.
With respect to the present example, the garment showed a Durable press rating of 4.5 and the Crease retention rating of 3.5, after the 50 washes of home laundering and the average rating was 4. After the 50 wash, the garment did not depict any change in any of these ratings and the garment also had the desired hand feel and bounciness expected to establish it as wrinkle free in nature and maintaining the same parameters ratings even after 50 washes.
EXAMPLE 4
In another set of similar experiments, tests are conducted with the pre-treated fabric converted into a garment, wherein the concentrations are varied to determine the most optimum and the most suitable working concentration ranges of the constituents. The instant compositions constituents are the same as mentioned in the previous example with a difference in the concentrations used, as elaborated in table 2 below.
Further more, apart from the specific constituents used above the non-ionic wetting agent, a blend of an organic solvent and an emulsifier is also chosen as Alba fluid C, the DMDHEU resin is chosen as Acrofix VLF, the catalyst is selected from a group

comprising MgCl2 and MnCl2, the polysiloxane is selected from a group comprising di-alkyl polysiloxane and amino polysiloxane and is chosen as Lyzer soft MRF, the polyalkyne is selected from a group comprising polyethylene and polypropylene and is chosen as Ultrafab RTS, the micro silicon emulsified in alcohol ethoxylate, is chosen as solusoft MW, the nano silicon is emulsified in noneyl phenol ethoxylate or ethylene oxide derivatives and is chosen as solusoft SE1 oil which is a highly concentrated pre-emulsified silicon fluid, the polyurethane is chosen as Hydroperm RPU, the organic additive is selected from a group comprising paraffin wax emulsified in castor oil ethoxylate and di-alkyl di-methyl ammonium chloride, preferably paraffin wax emulsified in castor oil ethoxylate and is chosen as solusoft TOWI, which is a high molecular weight synergistic additive and the glycerol used can also be substituted with liquid wax.

The prepared instant chemical solution comprising the said constituents is sprayed on the pre-treated taped garment. The sprayed garment is subjected to further treatment of

drying, steam pressing and curing for crease setting. The treatment of the garment is done in a similar manner as depicted in example 1. The dried garment is then tested for the same parameters as those mentioned in the previous example for confirming the wrinkle free nature of the garment. The tests varied with change of the concentration value with respect to the resin and the resin catalyst.
In a similar fashion as in the previous example the garment was tested after 20 washes and followed by a testing done after 50 washes. The treated garment showed Durable press rating of 4.5 and the Crease retention rating of 4 and 3.5 after the 20 and the 50 wash respectively. Hence, it can be firmly concluded that the said concentration values used in this particular example are efficient in bringing about the complete wrinkle free effect and hence concentrations in the mentioned range of about 7% to about 8% for resin and about 20% to about 25% of the concentration of resin for resin catalyst, are seen to bring about the best results in terms of wrinkle free effect of the garment.
EXAMPLE 5
Another experiment was conducted on similar lines, by changing the concentration values of the constituents. The concentration of poly urethane is modified and the concentration of the rest of the constituents is represented in table 3 below.
Further more, apart from the specific constituents used above the non-ionic wetting agent, a blend of an organic solvent and an emulsifier is also chosen as Alba fluid C, the DMDHEU resin is chosen as Acrofix VLF, the catalyst is selected from a group comprising MgCl2 and MnCl2, the polysiloxane is selected from a group comprising di-alkyl polysiloxane and amino polysiloxane and is chosen as Lyzer soft MRF, the polyalkyne is selected from a group comprising polyethylene and polypropylene and is chosen as Ultrafab RTS, the micro silicon emulsified in alcohol ethoxylate, is chosen as solusoft MW, the nano silicon is emulsified in noneyl phenol ethoxylate or ethylene oxide derivatives and is chosen as solusoft SE1 oil which is a highly concentrated pre-emulsified silicon fluid, the polyurethane is chosen as Hydroperm RPU, the organic additive is selected from a group comprising paraffin wax emulsified in castor oil

The taped garment is sprayed inside out with the chemical solution, followed by drying and subjected to further treatments, as captured in example 1.
The testing is done on similar parameter lines as those mentioned in the previous examples and hence the garment is washed in washing machine with a solution containing standard detergent. To check the efficiency of the composition, the garment is tested for the same parameters after more than 20 wash, specifically after 50 washes and the results obtained are recorded.
The results obtained confirmed that the working concentration range is about 2 to 4 %, and the polyurethane is effective at the said concentration level of about 2 to 4%. The

garment is seen to depict a Durable press rating of 4.5 and Crease retention rating of 4.0 and 3.5, after 20 and 50 washes of home laundering. Hence the range of about 2 to 4 % as mentioned above is the most workable range of this component that would bring about effective wrinkle free nature of the garment.
EXAMPLE 6
In another set of experiments, the concentration of polyalkyne is modified to determine the efficiency of the chemical composition of the present disclosure. The concentrations of the remaining components are not changed and the relevant concentration values are depicted in table 4.
Further more, apart from the specific constituents used above the non-ionic wetting agent, a blend of an organic solvent and an emulsifier is also chosen as Alba fluid C, the DMDHEU resin is chosen as Acrofix VLF, the catalyst is selected from a group comprising MgCl2 and MnCl2, the polysiloxane is selected from a group comprising di-alkyl polysiloxane and amino polysiloxane and is chosen as Lyzer soft MRF, the polyalkyne is selected from a group comprising polyethylene and polypropylene and is chosen as Ultrafab RTS, the micro silicon emulsified in alcohol ethoxylate, is chosen as solusoft MW, the nano silicon is emulsified in noneyl phenol ethoxylate or ethylene oxide derivatives and is chosen as solusoft SE1 oil which is a highly concentrated pre-emulsified silicon fluid, the polyurethane is chosen as Hydroperm RPU, the organic additive is selected from a group comprising paraffin wax emulsified in castor oil ethoxylate and di-alkyl di-methyl ammonium chloride, preferably paraffin wax emulsified in castor oil ethoxylate and is chosen as solusoft TOWI, which is a high molecular weight synergistic additive and the glycerol used can also be substituted with liquid wax.

The instant example is such that the non-ionic wetting agent has the concentration of about 0.1%, DMDHEU resin has the concentration of about 7.5%, resin catalyst has the concentration of about 1.87%, polysiloxane, polyalkyne, polyurethane and micro silicon have the concentration of about 3%, nano silicon has the concentration of about 0.7% and organic additive has the concentration of about 1.5%, optionally along with glycerol which has the concentration of about 0.5%.
The garment is sprayed with the chemical composition for 10 minutes and then dried and subjected to further treatments. The dried garment is then taken for steam pressing followed by curing to set the crease to obtain the garment which is ready to be dried and thereafter tested. The treatments are done in a similar pattern as captured in example 1. The garment so treated is tested on the various parameters like Smoothness appearance, Seam smoothness and the Crease retention. The results obtained are recorded such that the garment is tested after 50 washes. On a scale of 5 for each of the parameters, 4 determines the exceptionally good value and 1 determines the lowest, the garment treated using the instant composition showed positive results. The Durable press rating and the Crease Retention are found to have a value of 4.5 and 3.5 respectively after 50 washes and the over all average rating is 4. Moreover the hand feel and the bounciness of the garment were seen to be excellent even after completion of 50 washes. Hence it can be

established that the garment is able to retain the wrinkle free nature permanently and is not restricted only to a single wash.
EXAMPLE 7
Similar trials are conducted to determine the effect of change in concentration value of DMDHEU resin and the resin catalyst on the wrinkle free nature of the garment. This is done in such a way that the pre-treated garment is sprayed with the chemical composition with the constituents as captured in table 5. The concentration of resin and the resin catalyst is decreased and the concentration of the remaining components is retained the same.
Further more, apart from the specific constituents used above the non-ionic wetting agent, a blend of an organic solvent and an emulsifier is also chosen as Alba fluid C, the DMDHEU resin is chosen as Acrofix VLF, the catalyst is selected from a group comprising MgCl2 and MnCl2, the polysiloxane is selected from a group comprising di-alkyl polysiloxane and amino polysiloxane and is chosen as Lyzer soft MRF, the polyalkyne is selected from a group comprising polyethylene and polypropylene and is chosen as Ultrafab RTS, the micro silicon emulsified in alcohol ethoxylate, is chosen as solusoft MW, the nano silicon is emulsified in noneyl phenol ethoxylate or ethylene oxide derivatives and is chosen as solusoft SE1 oil which is a highly concentrated pre-emulsified silicon fluid, the polyurethane is chosen as Hydroperm RPU, the organic additive is selected from a group comprising paraffin wax emulsified in castor oil ethoxylate and di-alkyl di-methyl ammonium chloride, preferably paraffin wax emulsified in castor oil ethoxylate and is chosen as solusoft TOWI, which is a high molecular weight synergistic additive and the glycerol used can also be substituted with liquid wax.

The garment is sprayed with the chemical composition for 10 minutes and then dried and subjected to further treatments. The dried garment is then taken for steam pressing followed by curing to set the crease to obtain the garment which is ready to be dried and thereafter tested.

The results obtained are recorded such that the garment is tested after 10 washes. On a scale of 5 for each of the parameters, 4 determines the exceptionally good value and 1 determines the lowest, the garment so treated showed negative results. The Durable press rating and the Crease Retention are found to have a value of 3.5 and 2.5 after 10 washes. This was due to the less percentage of resin in the instant chemical composition. Hence, it can be established that the

concentration of resin at a low percentage of 3% along with the decreased concentration of the resin catalyst, does not result in bringing about the required level of wrinkle free property in the garment.
EXAMPLE 8
Another experiment was conducted on similar lines, by changing the concentration values of the constituents.

The garment is sprayed inside out with the instant chemical solution, followed by drying and subjected to further treatments as captured in example 1. The dried garment is then tested. The testing is done on similar parameter lines as those mentioned in the previous examples and hence the garment is washed in a solution containing said the chemical composition. To check the efficiency of the composition, the garment is tested for the same parameters after more than one wash, specifically after 30 washes and the results obtained are recorded.
The results obtained confirmed that the working concentration range of resin is about 7% to about 8%. The garment is seen to depict a Durable press rating of 4.5 and Crease retention rating of 4.0, after the 20 and 30 washes. However, due to the high percentage

of the resin in the composition, the garment could not withstand even 30 washes and the fabric broke down at collar edges after 30 washes. Hence the range of about 7% to about 6% as mentioned above is the most workable range of this resin that would bring about effective wrinkle free nature of the taped cotton garment.
EXAMPLE 9
In another set of experiments, the concentration of the polysiloxane and micro silicon is modified to determine the efficiency of the chemical composition of the present disclosure. The concentration of the polysiloxane was decreased to 1% and micro amino silicon’s concentration was also decreased to 1%.

The treatment is carried out in the same pattern as depicted in example1. The garment so treated in tested on the various parameters like Smoothness appearance, Seam smoothness and the Crease retention. The results obtained are recorded and the garment is tested after 50 home laundering washes. On a scale of 5 for each of the parameters, such that 4 determines the exceptionally good value and 1 determines the lowest, the garment so treated showed positive results. The Durable press rating and the Crease Retention are found to have a value of 4.5 and 3.5 respectively after 50 washes, however the hand feel of the garment is rough. Hence, it can be established that the concentration of polysiloxane and micro silicon used in this example are not the best concentration values and are not included in the concentration range.
EXAMPLE 10

Similar trials are conducted to determine the effect of change in concentration value of resin catalyst on the wrinkle free nature of the garment. This is done in such a way that the pre-treated garment was sprayed with the chemical composition. The concentration of the resin catalyst is reduced and the remaining components are maintained at the same concentrations as depicted in the previous examples.
Further more, apart from the specific constituents used above the non-ionic wetting agent, a blend of an organic solvent and an emulsifier is also chosen as Alba fluid C, the DMDHEU resin is chosen as Acrofix VLF, the catalyst is selected from a group comprising MgCl2 and MnCl2, the polysiloxane is selected from a group comprising di-alkyl polysiloxane and amino polysiloxane and is chosen as Lyzer soft MRF, the polyalkyne is selected from a group comprising polyethylene and polypropylene and is chosen as Ultrafab RTS, the micro silicon emulsified in alcohol ethoxylate, is chosen as solusoft MW, the nano silicon is emulsified in noneyl phenol ethoxylate or ethylene oxide derivatives and is chosen as solusoft SE1 oil which is a highly concentrated pre-emulsified silicon fluid, the polyurethane is chosen as Hydroperm RPU, the organic additive is selected from a group comprising paraffin wax emulsified in castor oil ethoxylate and di-alkyl di-methyl ammonium chloride, preferably paraffin wax emulsified in castor oil ethoxylate and is chosen as solusoft TOWI, which is a high molecular weight synergistic additive and the glycerol used can also be substituted with liquid wax.

The chemical treatment is followed by the drying procedure, steam pressing and curing for crease retention as depicted in example 1. The garment is tested for 20 wash and the results recorded. The Durable press rating and the Crease Retention are seen to produce the rating of 3.5 and 3 for both the parameters, after 20 washes of home laundering. However, due to less catalyst the reaction of resin and cellulose is poor and this is reflected in the DP and the CR ratings. Hence, this concentration value was not included in the concentration range as it did not bring about the desired wrinkle free effect in the treated taped cotton garment.
Hence, from the above examples it can be concluded that the said chemical preparation is most effective in the said concentration ranges and with the specified constituents. The synergistic effect of the chemical constituents brings about the wrinkle free effect of the taped cotton garment. The instant synergistic composition comprises of non-ionic wetting agent, DMDHEU resin, resin catalyst, polysiloxane, polyalkyne, polyurethane, silicon and organic additive, optionally along with glycerol.
