Definitions
- This invention relates to fluorochemical compositions comprising one or more fluorochemical urethane compounds, and one or more silsesquioxane compounds for treatment of a fibrous substrate.
- the fluorochemical compositions are capable of improving one or more of the oil- and/or water repellency, stain- and/or soil repellency and stain and/or soil release properties, with improved durability, of a fibrous substrate treated with the fluorochemical composition.
- fluorochemical compositions on fibers and fibrous substrates, such as textiles, paper, and leather, to impart oil- and water-repellency and soil- and stain- resistance. See, for example, Banks, Ed., Organofluorine Chemicals and Their Industrial Applications, Ellis Horwood Ltd., Chichester, England, 1979, pp. 226-234.
- fluorochemical compositions include, for example, fluorochemical guanidines (U.S. Pat. No. 4,540,497, Chang et al.), compositions of cationic and non-cationic fluorochemicals (U.S. Pat. No.
- compositions containing fluorochemical carboxylic acid and epoxidic cationic resin (U.S. Pat. No. 4,426,466, Schwartz), fluoroaliphatic carbodiimides (U.S. Pat. No. 4,215,205, Landucci), fluoroaliphatic alcohols (U.S. Pat. No. 4,468,527, Patel), fluorine-containing addition polymers, copolymers, and macromers (U.S. Pat. Nos. 2,803,615; 3,068,187; 3,102,103; 3,341,497; 3,574,791; 3,916,053; 4,529,658; 5,216,097; 5,276,175; 5,725,789;

- U.S. Pat. No. 4,351,736 (Steinberger et al.) describe a textile pile- stabilizing impregnating agent comprising a colloidal suspension of silicic acid and organosilsesquioxanes.
- 4,781,844 (Kortmann et al.) describe a textile finishing agent comprising an aqueous colloidal suspension of an organosilsesquioxane-containing sol and an organic polymer resin containing perfluoroalkyl groups which imparts soil resistance.
- Solvent and water based fluorochemical compositions have been used to provide water- and oil-repellency to fibrous surfaces. Since organic solvents pose health, safety, and environmental concerns, the water-based compositions are particularly desirable. However, the previously known compositions are typically aqueous dispersions or emulsions, not solutions; therefore, may require a high temperature cure to impart good repellency properties. In many cases, for example, high temperature curing is not practical or possible. For this reason there is a continuing need for fluorochemical urethanes that do not require costly and energy consuming high temperature cure conditions to impart good repellency properties.
- this invention relates to fluorochemical compositions comprising one or more fluorochemical urethane compounds, and one or more silsequioxane compounds, wherein said silsesquioxane comprises less than 10 wt.% of cocondensates of tetralkoxysilanes (or hydrosylates thereof, e.g. Si(OH) 4 ).
- the silsesquioxane comprises less than 5 wt.%, more prepferably less than 2 wt.% of of cocondensates of tetralkoxysilanes or hydrosylates thereof.
- the composition provides superior water-repellency without sacrificing oil repellency.
- polyorganosilanes such as poly(dimethylsiloxane)

- the fluorochemical urethane compounds further comprise (c) one or more hydrophilic polyoxyalkylene compounds; and/or
- (d) one or more isocyanate-reactive silanes (d) one or more isocyanate-reactive silanes.
- the inventors recognized the need for fluorochemical compositions that can successfully impart one or more of the following uniform, durable properties: oil- and water-repellency and/or soil- and stain-resistance and/or soil- and stain-repellency.
- These chemical compositions may be water and/or organic solvent soluble or dispersible and, in many embodiments, may be cured under ambient temperatures.
- Another embodiment of the present invention relates to a composition for treatment of fibrous substrates comprising a solution or dispersion of the fluorochemical composition of the present invention and a solvent.
- the fluorochemical composition is soluble in the solvent.
- this treatment composition provides a uniform distribution of the chemical composition on the substrate without altering the appearance of the substrate.
- a high temperature cure is not required to provide this coating; the treatment composition can be cured (i.e. dried) at ambient temperatures.
- a high temperature cure e.g. temperatures at or above about 125°F or 49°C may be used with coating compositions of the invention.
- compositions can be applied as coatings to a wide variety of substrates, for example, by topical application, to impart durable release/repellency/resistant properties to the substrates.
- the chemical compositions of the present invention can provide uniform properties to a fibrous substrate and do not change the appearance of the substrate to which they are applied. Even though the urethane compounds are of relatively low fluorochemical content, the chemical compositions of the present invention provide durable stain-release properties comparable to or better than those of the prior art.
- the chemical compositions of the present invention do not require high temperature curing; they can be cured (i.e., dried) at ambient temperature.
- This invention also relates to an article comprising a fibrous substrate having a cured coating derived from at least one solvent and a chemical composition of the present invention. After application and curing of the chemical composition, the substrate displays durable release/resistance/repellency properties.
- This invention further relates to a method for imparting stain-release and/or repellency characteristics to a fibrous substrate, having one or more surfaces, by applying the coating composition of the present invention onto one or more surfaces of the substrate and allowing the coating composition to cure (i.e. dry).

- the chemical composition is used in the coating composition at about 0.1 to about 10 weight percent, most preferably from about 2 to about 4 weight percent.
- Suitable solvents include water, alcohols, esters, glycol ethers, amides, ketones, hydrocarbons, chlorohydrocarbons, chlorocarbons, and mixtures thereof.
- water is the preferred solvent because it does not raise any environmental concerns and is accepted as safe and non- toxic. Mixtures of solvents may be used, however such mixtures should be selected so that the fluorochemical urethane and the silsesquioxane components are soluble in the least volatile solvent, to provide uniform coating of the composition.
- the treatment compositions of the present invention can be applied as to a wide variety of fibrous substrates resulting in an article that displays durable stain-release properties.
- the article of the present invention comprises a fibrous substrate having a treatment derived from at least one solvent and a chemical composition of the present invention. After application and curing of the coating composition, the substrate displays durable release/repellency/resistance properties.
- the treatment composition may also be applied to other substrates including glass, ceramic, stone, metal, semi-porous materials such as grout, cement and concrete, wood, paint, plastics, rubber.
- the treatment compositions can be applied to a wide variety of fibrous substrates including woven, knit, and nonwoven fabrics, textiles, carpets, leather, and paper.
- Substrates having nucleophilic groups, such as cotton are preferred because they can bond to the silane groups and/or isocyanate groups of the chemical compositions of the present invention, thereby increasing durability of the fiber treatment.
- Any application method known to one skilled in the art can be used including spraying, dipping, immersion, foaming, atomizing, aerosolizing, misting, flood-coating, and the like.
- the coating composition of the present invention is applied to the substrate and is allowed to cure (i.e. dry), at ambient or elevated temperature.
- the treating process for applying the composition can be either an exhaustion process or a topical process.
- a fibrous substrate is first treated exhaustively by contacting the entirety of each fiber of the substrate with the aqueous composition of this invention.
- the resulting totally wet fibrous substrate is then heated in a water-saturated atmosphere such as a steam box for a time sufficient to affix the treating composition onto each fiber surface.
- the heated wet fibrous substrate is subsequently rinsed with water and is dried in an oven at sufficient temperature to effectively activate the treating composition on the surface of each fiber.
- application at a sufficient high bath temperature e.g., over 200° F. (83° C.) can eliminate the need for the post-steaming operation.
- the fibrous substrate having had total penetration throughout each fiber, exhibits significant protection against soiling when compared to untreated carpet as demonstrated by several cycles of "walk-on” tests, and exhibits excellent dynamic water resistance (i.e., the treated carpet resists penetration by water-based drinks spilled from a height).
- Suitable exhaustion processes for treating fibrous substrates include immersion, flooding, Beck vat processing, hot otting, padding and puddle foaming application.
- Useful treating equipment includes equipment available from Eduard Kusters
- Suitable topical treating processes for applying the aqueous acidic composition comprising silsesquioxane include spraying and low density foam application.
- the chemical composition can be applied by spraying the composition on the fibrous substrate.
- An ambient cure preferably takes place at approximately 15 to 35 °C (i.e. ambient temperature) until dryness is achieved, up to approximately 24 hours.
- the chemical composition can also form chemical bonds with the substrate and between molecules of the chemical composition.
- exhaustion treating processes are preferred as they impart superior performance to the treated fibers.
- the treated fibrous substrate maybe subjected to a heat treatment, for example, in an oven.
- a heat treatment is typically carried out at temperatures between about 50°C and about 190°C depending on the particular system or application method used. In general, a temperature of about 120°C to 170°C, in particular of about 150°C to about 170°C for a period of about 20 seconds to 10 minutes, preferably 3 to 5 minutes, is suitable. With either heat-treatment or ambient cure, the chemical composition can also form chemical bonds with the substrate and between molecules of the chemical composition.
- Such amount is usually such that the resulting amount of the fluorochemical urethane composition on the treated fibrous substrate will be between 0.05% and 10%, preferably 0.1 to 5% by weight based on the weight of the fibrous substrate, known as solids on fiber or SOF.
- the amount that is sufficient to impart desired properties can be determined empirically and can be increased as necessary or desired.
- Suitable fibrous substrates include carpet, fabric, textiles and any substrate woven from fibers such as yarn or thread; carpet is the preferred form of the fibrous substrate.
- the fiber can be made from any number of thermoset or thermoplastic polymers, such as polyamide, polyester, acrylic and polyolefin; cellulose. Polyamide (e.g. nylon) is the preferred fiber.
- the resulting treated substrates derived from at least one solvent and a chemical composition of the present invention have been found to be resist soils and/or stains and/or to release soils and/or stains with simple washing methods.
- the cured treatments have also been found to be durable and hence to resist being worn-off due to wear and abrasion from use, cleaning, and the elements.
- This test measures the resistance of the treated fabric to oil-based challenges.
- a drop of one standard surface tension fluid (of a series of 8, with decreasing surface tensions) is dropped on a treated fabric. If after thirty seconds there is no wetting, the next highest standard number fluid (next lowest surface tension) is tested. When the lowest number fluid soaks into the fabric, the next lower number is the rating. For example, the fabric will receive a three rating, if the number four fluid wets the fabric.
- Test I (Document # 98-0212-0719-0).
- This test measures the resistance of the treated fibrous substrates to water based challenges.
- a drop of one standard surface tension fluid (of a series of 11, with decreasing surface tensions, based on water and water/isopropyl alcohol mixtures where 100% water is a 0 rating and 100% IPA is a 10 rating ) is placed on a treated fabric to form a bead. If after thirty seconds there is no wetting, the next highest standard number fluid (next lowest surface tension) is tested. When the lowest number fluid soaks into the fabric, the next lower number is the rating. For example, the fabric will receive a three rating, if the number four fluid wets the fabric.
- 3M Protective Material Division's "Water Repellency Test -Q" method Document # 98-
- Performance Test - Spray Test The purpose of this test is to measure what is called the dynamic spray rating.
- the test procedure is modified from AATCC Test Method 42-1980. The test is conducted by dropping room temperature water (250 ml) on a test fabric at a 45 degree incline. A rating of 100 is given if the all of the water runs off of the sample and rating of 50 is given if there is significant wetting of the surface of the fabric. A more detailed description of the test is written in the 3M Home Care Division's "Sprav and Oil Repellency Rating" method
