Abstract
The present invention provides strategies to improve the moisture management properties of textiles while retaining high comfort levels. The treatments also help to protect textiles against microbial growth. The treatment strategies of the present invention are based at least in part on the use of cationic bis-imidazoline(s) and their salts. Quaternized bis-imidazoline cations and their salts are particularly preferred.
