Dimethyl Dihydroxyethylene Urea

Dimethyl dihydroxyethylene urea is a non-formaldehyde type of textile resin.

Avoidance of this substance may be difficult because the textile will not have the substance listed on the product. Direct communication with the manufacturer of the fabric or garment may be helpful in determining if a particular fabric was treated with this chemical. At work, request a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) to help identify potential sources of exposure.
