Polysiloxane-containing polymers for wrinkleproofing cellulosic textiles

Abstract

A process for wrinkleproofing cellulosic textiles comprises treating the textiles with a finish and drying the treated textiles, wherein the finish contains one or more water soluble or water dispersible polysiloxane-containing polymers obtainable by free radical polymerization of (a) from 10 to 99% by weight of (a1) from 90 to 100% by weight of singly ethylenically unsaturated monomers and (a2) from 0 to 10% by weight of multiply ethylenically unsaturated monomers the sum total of (a1) and (a2) being 100% by weight in the presence of (b) from 1 to 90% by weight of silicone derivatives containing polyalkylene oxide the sum total of (a) and (b) being 100% by weight.
