FABRIC TREATED WITH DURABLE STAIN REPELLENT AND STAIN RELEASE FINISH AND METHOD FOR INDUSTRIAL LAUNDERING TO MAINTAIN DURABILITY OF FINISH

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fabric and textile article which undergo repeated industrial laundering and yet which maintain acceptable stain repellency, water repellency, and stain release through improved durability of a fluorochemical finish providing such desirable characteristics; and to provide an industrial laundering method for a fabric and textile article, which improves durability of the stain repellent, water repellent, and stain release finish applied to the fabric and textile article.;SOLUTION: The present invention provides a fabric comprising one or more polyesters optionally with other fibers, which is treated with a finish comprising at least one fluorochemical stain repellent agent and at least one fluorochemical stain release agent. The fabric maintains oil repellency and stain release capability after at least five times of industrial laundering at about 55°C to about 65°C. The present invention also provides a method for treating a fabric with the finish to impart oil repellency, water repellency, and stain release which are durable to repeated industrial laundering. The present invention further provides a textile article comprising the treated fabric, and a method for industrial laundering of such a treated fabric and textile article.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT
