Abstract

Abstract A durably soil-resistant pile fabric, such as a carpet, is provided which comprises a plurality of organic fibers having thereon a normally solid coating comprising (a) a first phase of a water-insoluble fluoroaliphatic radical free urethane adduct having at least one major transition temperature higher than about 45*C. and melting to a flowable liquid below about 200* C. and (b) a second phase of water-insoluble fluoroaliphatic radical containing urethane adduct having at least one major transition temperature higher than about 45* C. and melting to a flowable liquid below about 200* C.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 77 words
A TREATING SOLUTION FOR RENDERING PILE FABRICS STAIN-REPELLENT AND OILS-RESISTANT WHILE AVOIDING AN INCREASE IN FLAMMABILITY, CONSISTING ESSENTIALLY OF A DISPERSION IN LIQUID MEDIUM AT A TOTAL SOLIDS CONCENTRATION OF FROM ABUT 0.1 TO ABOUT 50% BY WEIGHT OF THE COMBINATION OF FLUOROALIPHATIC RADICAL-CONTAINING URETHANE ADDUCT AND FLUOROALIPHATIC RADICAL FREE URETHANE ADDUCT IN PROPORTIONS OF FROM ABOUT 1:1.5 TO ABOUT 4:1 EACH OF SAID ADDUCTS MELTING TO A FLOWABLE LIQUID AT ABOVE 45*C. AND BELOW ABOUT 200*C.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 77 words
A TREATING SOLUTION FOR RENDERING PILE FABRICS STAIN-REPELLENT AND OILS-RESISTANT WHILE AVOIDING AN INCREASE IN FLAMMABILITY, CONSISTING ESSENTIALLY OF A DISPERSION IN LIQUID MEDIUM AT A TOTAL SOLIDS CONCENTRATION OF FROM ABUT 0.1 TO ABOUT 50% BY WEIGHT OF THE COMBINATION OF FLUOROALIPHATIC RADICAL-CONTAINING URETHANE ADDUCT AND FLUOROALIPHATIC RADICAL FREE URETHANE ADDUCT IN PROPORTIONS OF FROM ABOUT 1:1.5 TO ABOUT 4:1 EACH OF SAID ADDUCTS MELTING TO A FLOWABLE LIQUID AT ABOVE 45*C. AND BELOW ABOUT 200*C.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 15 words
A treating solution according to claim 1 wherein the liquid medium is an aqueous medium.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 29 words
