Abstract
A textile material suitable for use as an automotive upholstery fabric is provided, which comprises: PA0 (a) a body portion having a face and a back comprised of synthetic, thermoplastic fibers; PA0 (b) said body portion being provided with a substantially oil- and water-repellent fluoropolymer substantially evenly distributed on the face thereof in a minor amount sufficient to improve soil resistance characteristics but less than an amount which would cause said material to burn at a rate in excess of about 2 inches per minute or to support such burning for longer than about one minute; and PA0 (c) said textile material further having been backcoated with a flame-retardant backcoating in an amount sufficient to improve the flammability characteristics of said textile material.
