Abstract: The influence of concentration of anion agent, curing time, curing temperature and soaking time on anion release, the breathability and the handle of fabrics was analyzed in the finishing cotton fabrics. The ef-fects of finishing were assessed by the sort method of variance analysis. The results show that the textiles fin-ished by anion agents can release a lot of anion and are soft. Compared with the original fabric, the breathabili-ty and wrinkle recovery angle of the finished fabric decrease slightly.
