The literature relating to the water-repellency of textile materials has been surveyed for those articles and patents dealing with the production of this property by chemical methods. The 332 pertinent references found have been abstracted and classified on the basis of the type of compound used to impart water-repellency. No attempt has been made at critical evaluation. Reactions, where known, have been described with the aid of equations. Additional references for collateral reading are given. An index which has been compiled of the chemical water-repellent agents proposed is being published by the U. S. Department of Agriculture as Research Publication AIC—179.
