Abstract
Methanesulfonic acid, because of its similarity to hydroxymethanesulfonic acid, has been investigated as a catalyst for finishing cotton to produce durable-press properties. It provides strong catalysis in mild cure and conventional pad- dry-cure treatments. However, fabric must be washed after treatment to remove residual acidity which otherwise causes undesirable changes in the finish.
