The Use of Formaldehyde to Minimize Wool Damage Caused by Commercial Enzyme-Containing Detergents

James Lewis

International Wool Secretarial, Technical Centre, Valley Drive, Ilkley, Yorks, LS29 8PB, England

The conditions under which formaldehyde reacts with variously treated wools to impart resistance to the hydrolytic effects of alkaline detergents containing proteolytic enzymes have been investigated. Wools which are normally highly susceptible to damage in these detergents may be treated with dilute solutions of formaldehyde at the boil to mitigate this degradation almost completely. The inhibition of proteolysis is consistent with reaction, mainly at the amino residues of lysine.
