Shrink resistant and wrinkle free textiles

A formaldehyde-free durable press finished textile having a cross-linked polymaleate finish, the finish comprising a cross-linked polymaleate having a cross-linking adjunct selected from the group having the formula:

• wherein R is independently H, OH, OM, or a unit having the formula:
• and mixtures thereof X is H, OH, or OSO3M, M is H, or a salt forming cation, and mixtures thereof;
• the indices x, y, and z are each independently from 0 to about 7;
• x+z is greater than or equal to 1, Q is H, OH, OM but not H when both x and z are greater than or equal to 1 and wherein the textile has a durable press rating of at least about 3.0 and a tensile strength retention of greater than 40%;
• wherein the finish further comprises an additional cross-linking adjunct selected from the group consisting of butane tetracarboxylic acid, oxydisuccinate, imino disuccinate, thiodisuccinate, tricarbalic acid, citric acid, 1,2,3,4,5, 6-cyclohexanehexacarboxylic acid, 1,2,3,4-cyclobutanetetracarboxylic acid and mellitic acid.
