Description
Summary:Mercerizing strength sodium hydroxide may be foamed and this foam applied to cotton by conventional methods. Application of foamed sodium hydroxide offers the possible advantages of savings in sodium hydroxide and dyes as well as ability to treat selectively given areas of the fabric. This technology may be useful in areas other than mercerization.
