Abstract

A process for the manufacture of a stain resistant carpet by melt mixing a fiber forming synthetic polyamide with a compound, being capable to react with an amino group, to form a homogeneous polymer melt into fibers, tufting the fibers into a backing to form a carpet and treating the carpet with polymethacrylic acid, copolymers of polymethacrylic acid, a mixture of polymethacrylic acid and a sulfonated aromatic formaldehyde condensation product, and a reaction product of the polymerization or copolymerization of methacrylic acid in the presence of a sulfonated aromatic formaldehyde condensation product.
