Fluid Resistant Treatment And Garments Treated Therewith

A protective garment comprising:

• a fabric material comprising a woven fabric, a knitted fabric, a nonwoven fabric, or a combination thereof, the fabric material comprising inherently flame resistant fibers in an amount greater than about 70 wt. %, the inherently flame resistant fibers being selected from at least one of para-aramid fibers, meta-aramid fibers, and polybenzimidazole fibers;
• the fabric material being treated with a fluid resistant treatment, the fluid resistant treatment impregnating the fabric material, the fluid resistant treatment being substantially fluorocarbon free, the fluid resistant treatment comprising an oil resistant composition, the oil resistant composition comprising a silicone-containing polymer, the silicone-containing polymer including one or more pendant groups having the following structure:
• wherein, each of R1, R2, and R5 are independently alkyl groups, alkoxy groups, aryl groups, hydroxyl groups, halogen groups, —O—SiR′ groups, or —O—SiOR′ groups, wherein R′ groups are independently chosen from alkyl groups and/or aryl groups;
• wherein each L is a linking group comprising a —O— group, a —CH2— group, a —(CH2)2— group, a —(CH2)3— group, a —Si(CH3)2O— group, a —OSi(CH3)2O— group, a —CH2CH3O— group, a —OSi(CH2CH3)2O— group, a —CH2O— group, a —(CH2)2O— group, a —CH2C═O— group, a —OC═ONH— group, a —CH2N— group, a —CH2SO2— group, a
• group, a
• group, or a
• group, where n is a value from 0 to 40;
• or one or more pendant groups having the following structure:
• wherein, each of R1, R2, and R3 are independently alkyl groups, alkoxy groups, aryl groups, hydroxyl groups, halogen groups, —O—SiR′ groups, or —O—SiOR′ groups, wherein R′ groups are independently chosen from alkyl groups and/or aryl groups.
