Abstract
One or more aspects of the present disclosure are directed to aqueous solutions that can be used to make substrates such as an article that can inhibit or limit one or more sources of odor. In an aspect, the aqueous solution can include one or more components, where one of the components is an inhibiting agent that can function to inhibit or limit the sources of odor in an article such as a textile.
Claims21
An article of apparel with anti-odor properties, comprising:
- a plurality of polyester fibers or yarns comprising a durable surface coating, wherein the durable surface coating comprises an aldehyde inhibitor configured to inhibit generation of volatile aldehydes on a treated article of apparel, and a cross-linker,
- wherein the aldehyde inhibitor comprises a polysaccharide that is covalently bonded to the plurality of polyester fibers or yarns through the cross-linker.
An article of apparel with anti-odor properties, comprising:
- a plurality of polyester fibers or yarns, comprising polyethylene terephthalate fibers or yarns, wherein the plurality of polyester fibers or yarns comprises a durable surface coating, wherein the durable surface coating is uniformly distributed throughout an article of apparel thickness, the durable surface coating comprising a cross-linker and an aldehyde inhibitor, wherein the aldehyde inhibitor comprises a polymeric composition, wherein the durable surface coating is configured to inhibit generation of volatile aldehydes on the article of apparel during or following wear, and wherein the aldehyde inhibitor is covalently bonded to the at least one of the polyethylene terephthalate fibers or yarns through the cross-linker.
An article of apparel with anti-odor properties, comprising:
- a plurality of polyester fibers or yarns comprising
- a durable surface coating configured to remain in the article of apparel for at least 25 wear, wash and dry cycles, and wherein the durable surface coating comprises an aldehyde inhibitor configured to inhibit generation of volatile aldehydes on a treated article of apparel, and a cross-linker, wherein the aldehyde inhibitor is covalently bonded to the plurality of polyester fibers or yarns through the cross-linker.
