Abstract:
A method of finishing cellulose-containing textile materials by applying a bath containing at least one finishing agent to the textile material. Application of the amount of bath which is applied being controlled such that the total percentual amount of applied bath in addition to the moisture content of the textile material, based upon the dry weight of such material, at most amounts to (W2/150) + 40), wherein W represents in percent the water retention capacity of the textile material determined in accordance with test method ASTM-D2402-65T. The equipment for practising the invention to produce these finished textile products or materials embodies at least one applicator device which preferably is constituted by at least one applicator or kiss roll for applying the finishing bath, there being further provided control means for regulating the rotational speed of such kiss roll to precisely regulate the amount of applied bath.
