  Abstract

A signifcant challenge in the clothing industry is sustainable manufacturing with reduced exposure to toxic chemicals. This research presents a novel modifcation in the resin fnishing of cotton fabric via successful compounding of etherifed DMDHEU resin, waterborne polyurethane (WPU), and polyethylene wax (PEW) and its application by one-step eco-friendly route (Pad-Dry-Cure). Our hybrid fnish formulation (DMDHEU resin/WPU/PEW) perfectly balanced ultra-high wear resist ance, fast wrinkle recovery rate, and comfort properties. The optimal application conditions for etherifed 2D resin and the conventional catalytic system magnesium chloride (MgCl2) were determined through the PAD-DRY-Cure fnishing route, focusing on parameters such as resin concentration, curing time, and temperature. Second, a compounding of waterborne polyurethane (WPU) and etherifed DMDHEU resin fnish formulation was obtained, followed by an application and evalu ation of the corresponding performance properties of the fnished fabric with the compounded DMDHEU resin/WPU. Third, polyethylene wax (PEW) synthesis followed by cotton fabric fnishing using optimized PEW and DMDHEU resin/ WPU hybrid fnish formulation was done. Finally, fnished fabric properties were investigated via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray difraction (XRD) structural analysis to examine its microstructure. Under optimized fnishing conditions, the hybrid fnish formulation consisting of MDHEU resin/WPU/polyethylene wax (PEW) application on cotton fabric demonstrated efcient wear resistance, high wrinkle recovery rate, and good laundering durability. Additionally, there was minimal loss of tensile strength and better air and water permeability, indicating enhanced wearing comfort.
