Abstract

Excerpts from the report: Applying chemical additives to cotton during mill processing or finishing to give particular processing benefits or to impart particular characteristics is well established. Various groups and individuals have sought to improve the harvesting, ginning, or marketing of cotton by adding to the raw cotton at harvesting or ginning such conditioning agents as kerosene, water, hexadecyl alcohol, surface active agents, and certain textile mineral oils. Manufacturers of textile goods have generally discouraged the use of chemical additives at the harvesting and ginning stages because they often interfere with chemical treatments applied during mill processing and fabric finishing. In 1966 it was expedient for the U.S. Department of Agriculture to conduct field and laboratory experiments to evaluate an additive known as Protect-O-Coat Formula X-78 when it is added to raw cotton during ginning. Objectives of these experiments were to determine the effects of the additive on gin processing and on fiber, spinning, and dyeing qualities of cotton.
