The traditional crease resist resins released

  • A.formaldehyde, now tightly restricted
  • B.ammonia during the curing stage itself
  • C.hydrogen chloride on long storage
  • D.no volatile material at all

Answer: A

Correct answer: formaldehyde, now tightly restricted

The classic durable press resins are N-methylol compounds, which release free formaldehyde during curing and slowly afterwards in storage and wear. Formaldehyde is an irritant and a recognised carcinogen, so release limits are set by legislation and by retailer specifications, and the industry has moved to low-release and free formaldehyde chemistries.
