Adsorption time curves from finite baths have been studied for untreated cotton fabric and cottons treated with differing molecular chain lengths of aldehydes (formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde). Crosslinking reduced the rate constant, structural diffusion resistance constant, and equilibrium adsorption of dyeing. Additionally, these data decreased with increasing agent concentration and with increasing molecular chain length of the crosslinking agent. The dyeing activation energy of the glutaraldehyde treated fabric was lower than that of the formaldehyde treated fabric.
