Notes:
Monomeric formaldehyde and the cyclic oxymethylenes tetraoxane and pentaoxane were retained by cotton to similar extents at the high temperatures used in textile finishing, but the mechanisms of absorption appeared to differ. Trioxane, however, was not retained by cotton. The absorption of cyclic oxymethylenes did not seem to involve bonding to cellulose by primary valence bonds. The presence of other substances had a greater effect on the absorption of monomeric formaldehyde than of cyclic oxymethylenes, but changes in extent of absorption were not large enough to influence textile properties of treated fabric.
