Dyeing Properties of a Polyamide-Epichlorohydrin Resin

The dyeing behaviour of cured films prepared from a polyamide-epichlorohydrin resin (Hercosett) was examined in order to obtain a better understanding of the dyeing behaviour of Hercosett-treated wool. This paper reports swelling measurements on Hercosett/polymer-treated fibres, as well as kinetic and thermodynamic examinations of the dyeing process of the polymer. In addition, the behaviour of the polymer towards reactive dyes is examined
