Widely used in the textile industry as a crosslinking agent to provide durable press and wrinkle-resistant properties to fabrics, especially cotton and cotton-blend garments. It helps maintain fabric shape and reduces creasing after washing and wearing. Commonly applied in finishing treatments where it cures under heat to form strong bonds within the fiber structure. Also utilized in resin formulations for non-woven fabrics and as a component in adhesives and coatings where water resistance and stability are required. Its low formaldehyde release variants are preferred for meeting environmental and safety standards in textile manufacturing.
