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.
Claims29
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 6 weight percent to about 12 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.
A process for the preparation of a treated fabric, the process comprising:
- a) providing an untreated fabric;
- b) topically treating the untreated fabric with an aqueous treatment composition comprising:
- b)i) from about 6 weight percent to about 12 weight percent of a fluorochemical textile treating agent, based on the weight of the treatment composition;
- c) drying and curing the topically treated fabric at an elevated temperature to obtain a primarily treated fabric;
- and
- d) securing a polymeric film to one side of the primarily treated fabric.
A treated textile fabric comprising:
- a textile fabric having a first side and a second side;
- a coating on at least one side of the fabric, the coating comprising the cured product of an aqueous primary treatment composition comprising from about six weight percent to about 12 weight percent of a fluorochemical textile treating agent, based on the weight of the primary treatment composition;
- and
- a polymeric film secured to at least one side of the fabric.
