Abstract
A liquid and stain resistant, antimicrobial fabric is provided that can withstand the high temperatures required for transfer printing. A coating composition comprising a copolymer composition, an antimicrobial agent and a fluorochemical composition is applied to fabric such as polyester, to produce the coated fabric. The liquid and stain resistant antimicrobial, printed fabric retains its natural texture, is durable and easy to handle.
Claims16
A method of producing a liquid and stain resistant, antimicrobial, printed fabric comprising the steps of:
- a) coating the fabric with a composition comprising effective film-forming amounts of:
- i. a nonfluorinated copolymer composition;
- ii. an antimicrobial agent;
- and
- iii. a fluorochemical composition;
- b) heating the coating fabric to dry the coating;
- and
- c) transfer printing the coated fabric.
A liquid and stain resistant, antimicrobial fabric, capable of being printed by transfer printing, wherein the fabric is produced by coating the fabric with a composition comprising effective film forming amounts of:
- a) a nonfluorinated copolymer composition;
- b) an antimicrobial agent;
- and
- c) a fluorochemical composition;
- and heating the coated fabric to dry the coating.
