Abstract
This invention provides compositions for treating fibrous substrates to render those substrates durably repellent to water and oil and durably resistant to dry soil comprising a fluorochemical polymer formed by: (a) reacting a tri- or higher order isocyanate with a fluorochemical alcohol; (b) reacting the resulting product with an amount of water sufficient to react with between 5 and 50% of the isocyanate groups present in the product compound; and (c) thereafter reacting the product with a difunctional poly(oxyalkylene)-containing material. The present invention also provides a method of treating fibrous substrates to render those substrates durably repellent to water and oil and durably resistant to dry soil comprising application of the aforementioned composition to a fibrous substrate with one or more hydrophilic anti-staining compounds such as acrylic and methacrylic acid polymers and copolymers, sulfonated phenol-formaldehyde resins, and styrene-maleic anhydride polymers and copolymers, said application of the composition taking place either coincident with or following application of the hydrophilic anti-staining compound or compounds to the substrate. Fibrous substrates tr…
