Hydrophilic coatings for textile materials

Claim 1

A process for treating a textile material which comprises treating the textile material with a silylated organic polymer and thereafter drying the treated material at a temperature of from 25° to 200° C., said silylated organic polymer is obtained from the reaction of a silylated aminofunctional polyether and a polymeric organic acid having at least one acid group per molecule, at a temperature of from -10° to 200° C., in which the polymeric organic acid is obtained from the polymerization of an organic acid having aliphatic unsaturation, said silylated aminofunctional polyether has the formula ##STR19## where R is a radical selected from the group consisting of ##STR20## R 1 is selected from the class consisting of hydrogen, a monovalent hydrocarbon radical and a silicon containing radical selected from the group consisting of ##STR21## and when R is --N.sup.⊕ (R 1 ) 3 , A is an anionic silicon containing radical selected from the group consisting of ##STR22## and when R is ##STR23## then A is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, a monovalent hydrocarbon radical, and a silicon containing radical selected from the group consisting of ##STR24## R 2 is a divalent radical, R 3 is a monovalent hydrocarbon radical having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms, R 4 is a divalent hydrocarbon radical selected from the group consisting of (CH 2 ) y , CH═CH or a cyclic hydrocarbon radical selected from the group consisting of C 6 H 4 , C 6 H 8 , C 6 H 10 and C 10 H 6 , R 5 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and a monovalent hydrocarbon radical, with the proviso that at least one A or R 1 is a silicon containing radical, a is a number of from 0 to 4, e is 0, 1, 2 or 3, n is a number of from 2 to 4, x is a number of from 1 to 600 and y is a number of from 0 to 16.
