Abstract
The present invention provides a water repellant, water resistant, stain resistant fabric that feels like fabric rather than plastic. The fabric of the present invention is prepared by treating a fabric with at least one treatment composition comprising from about 5 weight percent to about 20 weight percent of fluorochemical(s), which is then backed with at least one polymeric film to provide a water repellant, water resistant, stain resistant fabric.
Claims27
A stain resistant, water resistant and water repellant treated textile fabric, the fabric prepared by a process comprising:
- a) selecting an untreated textile fabric having a first side and a second side;
- b) topically treating the untreated fabric with an aqueous primary treatment composition comprising:
- b)i) from about 5 weight percent to about 20 weight percent of a fluorochemical textile treating agent, based on the weight of the primary treatment composition;
- c) drying and curing the topically treated fabric at an elevated temperature to obtain a primarily treated fabric;
- and
- d) securing at least one polymeric film to one side of the fabric.
