C. Schramm et al., NONFORMALDEHYDE DP FINISHING WITH BTCA - EVALUATION OF THE DEGREE OF ESTERIFICATION BY ISOCRATIC HPLC, Textile chemist and colorist, 29(9), 1997, pp. 37-41
The amount of BTCA that did not react with cellulose was measured in t
he wash bath liquor by the isocratic HPLC method in combination with a
UV-detector. A strong cationic exchange column was used. The influenc
e of the weight fraction of BTCA and NaH2PO2 . H2O and the response of
the curing temperature were examined. It was found that the reaction
between BTCA and NaH2PO2 . H2O starts at 120C.
