Cotton fabric has been treated with l,3-bishydroxymethylimidazoIidin-2-one (DMEU) and a similar compound, which is approximately twice the size, ethylenebis-l,1′-(3,3′-bishydroxymethyl)imidazolidin-2-one (DMEBI). Chemical evidence suggests that reaction occurs to the same extent and in the same way with the two compounds. Treated fabrics containing molecularly equivalent amounts of the agents show some differences in physical properties.
