Abstract

Abstract While good oil-repellency can be imparted to fibre materials by treating them with polymers containing perfluoralkyl groups, it is difficult to impart water-repellency to the fibre materials at the same time and also give the treated materials a good handle. This is achieved by treating the fibre materials with, besides the perfluoralkyl group-containing polymers, an addition product of a) an unsaturated compound which is an olefin, a vinyl or allyl ester of an aliphatic straight or branched chain acid, a vinyl ether whose alkyl radical has at least 4 carbon atoms, an allyl ether whose alkyl radical has at least 4 carbon atoms and/or a vinyl halide with b) an organopolysiloxane which contains hydrogen atoms bonded to silicon atoms, the addition product containing on average more than 7 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical and at least 0.20 mole of the unsaturated component a) per gram atom of hydrogen in the siloxane component b).

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim 168 words
A process for simultaneously imparting oil-repellency and water-repellency to fibre materials in which the fibre materials are impregnated with a liquor containing a homopolymer, a copolymer or a mixture thereof, having a plurality of perfluoroalkyl groups of at least 4 carbon atoms per alkyl group and a water-repellent agent as extender, dried and heated, the improvement comprising that as extender is used an addition product of (a) an unsaturated compound which is an olefin selected from the group consisting of a vinyl or allyl ester of an aliphatic straight- or branched-chain acid, a vinyl-alkyl ether whose alkyl radical has at least 4 carbon atoms, and allyl-alkyl ether whose alkyl radical has at least 4 carbon atoms, a vinyl halide and mixtures thereof with (b) an organopolysiloxane which contains hydrogen atoms bonded to silicon atoms, the addition product containing on average more than 7 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical and at least 0.20 mole of unsaturated component (a) per gram atom of hydrogen in the siloxane component (b).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 168 words
A process for simultaneously imparting oil-repellency and water-repellency to fibre materials in which the fibre materials are impregnated with a liquor containing a homopolymer, a copolymer or a mixture thereof, having a plurality of perfluoroalkyl groups of at least 4 carbon atoms per alkyl group and a water-repellent agent as extender, dried and heated, the improvement comprising that as extender is used an addition product of (a) an unsaturated compound which is an olefin selected from the group consisting of a vinyl or allyl ester of an aliphatic straight- or branched-chain acid, a vinyl-alkyl ether whose alkyl radical has at least 4 carbon atoms, and allyl-alkyl ether whose alkyl radical has at least 4 carbon atoms, a vinyl halide and mixtures thereof with (b) an organopolysiloxane which contains hydrogen atoms bonded to silicon atoms, the addition product containing on average more than 7 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical and at least 0.20 mole of unsaturated component (a) per gram atom of hydrogen in the siloxane component (b).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 14 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein component (b) is a methyl hydrogen polysiloxane.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 30 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the addition products contain 0.25 to 0.75 mole of the unsaturated component (a) per gram atom of hydrogen in the siloxane component (b).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 17 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the unsaturated component (a) contains 8 to 18 carbon atoms.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 58 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein each mole of the unsaturated component (a) is a mixture of (1) from 0.05 to 0.9 mole of a vinyl compound with 4 to 7 carbon atoms in its alkyl radical and (2) 0.1 to 0.75 mole of a vinyl compound with 12 to 18 carbon atoms in its alkyl radical.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 24 words
A process according to claim 5 wherein the molar proportion of compound (1) is at least equal to the molar proportion of compound (2).
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 16 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the same is carried out in an aqueous emulsion.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 24 words
A process according to claim 7 wherein the extender is 30 to 70 g/l of an 8 to 25% emulsion of the addition product.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 11 words
The fibre material treated according to the process of claim 1.
