ABSTRACT:
A fabric having good wrinkle resistance and a soft hand is described. A process for producing the fabric is also described. The process involves applying a softener to one side of the fabric and applying a wrinkle-reducing resin to the opposite side of the fabric using a foaming application method, such that the respective finishes are concentrated on the surface to which they were applied. Preferably, the softener is applied to the face of the fabric and the resin chemistry is applied to the back of the fabric. The resulting fabrics have hand characteristics comparable or superior to those of pure finished fabrics, while having wrinkle-resisting characteristics of typical resin-treated fabrics.
