Process for treating a textile material

Claim 1

A process for treating a textile material which comprises coating a textile material with a composition containing a silylated polyether and thereafter drying the coated material at a temperature of from 50° to 200° C. in the presence of moisture, in which the silylated polyether is represented by the general formula: ##STR35## wherein at least one R is selected from the group consisting of an -NH radical, an ammonium radical and a radical selected from the group consisting of ##STR36## in which the radicals are linked to the polyether through a group selected from the class consisting of an ester, amine, amide and ammonium radical and the remaining R's are selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl, hydrocarbonoxy radicals having up to 18 carbon atoms and a radical of the formula ##STR37## R 1 is a divalent hydrocarbon radical selected from the group consisting of (--CH 2 ) y , --CH═CH-- and a cyclic radical selected from the group consisting of C 6 H 4 , C 6 H 8 and C 10 H 6 ; A is a silicon containing radical selected from the group consisting of cationic and anionic radicals of the formula ##STR38## and nonionic radicals of the formula ##STR39## in which R 2 and R 3 are monovalent hydrocarbon radicals having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms, R 4 is an ionic radical linked to a silicon atom consisting of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen atoms which is selected from the group consisting of ##STR40## R 5 is a nonionic radical consisting of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen atoms which is selected from the group consisting of ##STR41## and when R is an --NH radical, R 5 may be a divalent radical, R 6 is a radical linked to a silicon atom having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms selected from the group consisting of a saturated divalent hydrocarbon radical, a divalent hydrocarbonoxy radical selected from the group consisting of (C 2 H 4 O) m (CH 2 ) z , (C 3 H 6 O) m (CH 2 ) z and (C 4 H 8 O) m (CH 2 ) z , where m is from 1 to 50 and z is a number of from 1 to 10, and an unsaturated divalent hydrocarbon radical, in which the unsatisfied valences are linked to a silicon atom and the unsatisfied valences of A are satisfied by R and when A is a divalent radical, the ratio of A to R is 1:2 and when R is cationic, then A must be anionic and when R is anionic, then A must be cationic and when R is nonionic, then A must be nonionic, a is a number of from 0 to 4, b, c and d are each numbers of from 0 to 1 and the sum of b, c and d must be at least 1 and when b, c or d are 0, then R is selected from the group consisting of a hydroxyl, a hydrocarbonoxy radical and a radical of the formula ##STR42## e is a number of 0 to 2, n is 2, 3 or 4, x is a number of at least 1 and up to 600 and y is a number of from 0 to 8.
