Abstract
A method of treating fibrous substrates by contacting the substrate with a fluorochemical composition comprising: a fluorochemical oligomeric component and an antisoiling component is described. The compositions provide desirable antisoiling properties, as well as oil, water and stain repellency to fibrous substrates.
Claims26
A composition comprising
- a) a fluorochemical oligomeric compound of the formula:
- (A—L1—)n[R1—(L2—R2)m]n,
- wherein
- A is a fluorochemical oligomeric moiety of the formula
- wherein the sum of a+b is a number such that the compound is oligomeric, and a is at least 1;
- R3 is hydrogen, halogen, or straight chain or branched chain alkyl containing 1 to about 4 carbon atoms;
- each R4 is independently hydrogen or straight chain or branched chain alkyl containing 1 to about 4 carbon atoms;
- Q and Q′ are each independently a covalent bond or an organic linking group,
- Rf is a fluoroaliphatic group that comprises a fully fluorinated terminal group;
- R5 is a fluorine-free aliphatic group;
- X is a hydrogen atom or a group derived from a free radical initiator;
- L1 and L2 are independently divalent linking groups,
- R1 is the residue of an organic isocyanate,
- R2 is a hydrogen or an aliphatic group,
- n is 1 to 4, m is 0 to 4, and p is 1 to 4,
- wherein at least one of said R2 and R5 groups has 12 or more carbon atoms;
- and
- b) an antisoiling compound.
