International Classification:

D06M 1300
D06M 1500

US Classification:

252 862

Abstract:

This invention provides compositions suitable for treating fibrous substrates to render them durably resistant to dry soil and durably repellent to water and oil. One composition is an aqueous emulsion comprising: a dry soil resistant and water and oil repellent fluorochemical treatment and an effective amount of one or more fluorochemical surfactants wherein the surfactants comprising one or two fluorochemical groups and one or two water-solubilizing polar groups. Another composition is an aqueous emulsion comprising: a dry soil resistant and water and oil repellent fluorochemical treatment; an effective amount of one or more fluorochemical surfactants wherein the surfactants comprising one or two fluorochemical groups and one or two water-solubilizing polar groups; and one or more non-fluorinated additives. A third composition is an aqueous emulsion comprising: a dry soil resistant and water and oil repellent fluorochemical treatment comprising one or more fluorine-free extender compounds, and an effective amount of one or more fluorochemical surfactants wherein the surfactants comprising one or two fluorochemical groups and one or two water-solubilizing polar groups.

Assignee:

3M Innovative Properties Company - St. Paul MN

International Classification:

C08J 500

US Classification:

524185

Abstract:

A stainblocking composition comprises a stainblocking material and a complex of organoborane and amine. The stainblocking composition is particularly useful in imparting stain resistance to fibrous substrates that contain polyamide linkages, especially nylon carpet.

Appl. No.:

7/954249

Inventors:

Gail S. Boardman - Woodbury MN
Richard S. Buckanin - Woodbury MN

Assignee:

Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company - St. Paul MN

International Classification:

C08K 53492

US Classification:

524100

Abstract:

Mixtures comprising thermoplastic polymer, such as polypropylene, and fluorochemical piperazine are provided. Shaped articles, such as fibers, made from these mixtures have low surface-energy surfaces which results in oil- and water-repellency and anti-soiling properties.
