The disclosure provides a fibrous material comprising a plurality of fibers, the fibers being natural or synthetic cellulosic fibers or natural or synthetic protein fibers, and wherein the fibers are treated with a cationic compound. The disclosure also provides a method for imparting improved compatibility with quaternary ammonium compounds to a fibrous material, including: providing a fibrous material comprising a plurality of fibers, the fibers being natural or synthetic cellulosic fibers or natural or synthetic protein fibers; optionally, pre-treating the fibrous material with a base; treating the fibrous material with at least one cationic compound to impart improved compatibility with quaternary ammonium compounds; and optionally, further treating the treated fibrous material with a polymer or resin.
A fibrous material comprising a plurality of fibers, said fibers being natural or synthetic cellulosic fibers or natural or synthetic protein fibers, and wherein said fibers are treated with at least one cationic compound, and wherein the plurality of fibers has a mean length of greater than about 1 mm and comprises bast fibers in an amount of at least about 5% by weight based on the total dry weight of the fibrous material.
