Abstract

A process for fixing dyes impregnated in fine-dimensional synthetic textile substrates in an environmentally safe manner. The process comprises contacting the dyed synthetic substrates with a phenol- and formaldehyde-free dye-fixative composition comprising: PA1 (a) polymethacrylic acid, PA1 (b) copolymers of methacrylic acid consisting essentially of methacrylic acid and an ethylenically unsaturated comonomer selected from the group consisting of 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-propanesulfonic acid, sodium vinyl sulfonate, sodium styrene sulfonate, alkyl acrylate, PA1 (c) sulfamic acid, and PA1 (d) combinations of (a), (b) and (c).
