Various clothes or duvets made of natural or chemical fibers are wrinkled when used for a long time, and the cause of wrinkles generated in various fibers is hydrogen bonds generated on the fibers. Therefore, in recent years, research and development have been actively conducted to suppress or remove wrinkles of fibers by removing hydrogen bonds formed on the fibers or preventing hydrogen bonds from being formed on the fibers.

U. S. Patent No. 5,798, 107 discloses a detergent composition comprising compounds such as aminosilicone, polymethylsiloxane gums, reactive silicones, phenylsilicone, etc. in order to suppress the wrinkling of the fibers. However, repeated washing of clothes and the like using the detergent composition causes various components of the detergent composition to accumulate in the fiber, thereby decreasing the strength of the fiber and drastically reducing the drape, and causing problems such as yellowing due to heat of the accumulated amino group. have.

In addition, as a homopolymer or copolymer compound that is easy to form a film on the surface of the fiber to prevent wrinkles and maintain the shape of the fiber, pyrrolidone-based polymethacrylate resin, polyquaternary amine resin, adipic acid diethylene There is an example of the detergent composition which used triamine copolymer etc. in mixture with an amino polysiloxane compound.

However, the composition has a good wrinkle reduction effect, but as it accumulates in the fiber upon repeated use in the fiber, there is a problem in that the fiber flexibility and antistatic properties are remarkably degraded, and the fiber of the garment is stiff and the wrinkles are again generated on the fiber.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a fiber treatment composition excellent in flexibility, feel, dryness, drape, coefficient of friction, ironing activity and wrinkle removal.
