Abstract
Abstract Aftertreatment of dyeings on cotton or nylon with (A) a polybasic compound which is the product of reacting a primary or secondary amine with cyanamide, dicyandiamide, guanidine or biguanidine and, sequentially or simultaneously (B) a precondensate formed by reacting a compound of type (A) with an N-methylol derivative gives wet fastness properties superior to those given by either (A) or (B) used alone.
