A systematic study has been conducted of the rate and extent of formaldehyde extracted from durable press finishes from a variety of agent-catalyst systems. Deter mination of the steady-state free formaldehyde released from fabrics during water extractions was investigated. The relationships between available formaldehyde, tem perature, and time of incubation were established. The steady-state free formaldehyde levels were compared for fabrics containing only free (applied) formaldehyde and those containing formaldehyde as part of a durable press finish. Influences of variables such as temperature of extraction and ease of finish hydrolysis are discussed.
