Abstract
A resin material of a type which can be applied to a garment crease line in a fluid condition and once exposed to a suitable environment, will then cure so as to harden and adhere along the crease line. The resin is free from tin or any organotin components while still maintaining the ability to cure and be effective. The resin, once cured, assists in prolonging the form of the crease in the garment. The resin material may be applied at the time of preparation of the new garment or, may, be applied after the garment has been washed.

A resin for application to a crease line of a garment to have the effect of assisting in the retention of the crease line in the garment for a prolonged period of time, said resin provided to be usable in a first form during application onto and along the crease line when the same is in a fluid condition and, once applied along the crease line, change to a second form by curing and as a result of which, the resin hardens and is attached in position with the fibers of the garment along the said crease line and wherein the said resin is a tin and organo-tin free composition and includes an acetate curing agent.
A method of applying a resin material to a crease line of a garment so as to assist in prolonging the retention of the crease line, said method comprising the steps of providing a supply of a fluid resin material to a dispensing means having an exit aperture for the controlled movement of the fluid resin therethrough and guiding the relative movement of the exit aperture and the crease line such that the fluid resin is applied from the exit aperture along the crease line as a ribbon or line of fluid resin, curing said resin to harden the same and attach the same along the crease line and wherein the resin is a tin and organo-tin free resin composition and includes an acetate curing agent.
