Abstract
Oil and water repellent compositions for the treatment of fiber containing substrates such as fabric and the like, substrates treated with these compositions and methods for the treatment of substrates are described. The compositions of the invention comprise (a) a polyalkoxylated polyurethane and (b) a fluorochemical acrylate polymer comprising the polymerized reaction product of a fluorinated acrylate or methacrylate monomer, at least one alkyl acrylate or methacrylate monomer and a polymerizable cationic emulsifier comprising a quaternary amine surfactant. Additionally, (c) a polyalkylene glycol fluorochemical acrylate copolymer and (d) a fluorochemical adipate ester can also be included within the compositions. The above components are blended together within the composition at a weight ratios of (a):(b), or (a)+(c):(b), or (a)+(c)+(d):(b) of from 19:1 to 1:19 and preferably about 1:1. The compositions may be applied to a variety of fiber containing substrates to achieve a broad range of oil and water repellent properties.
