PERFLUOROACYLKAMINOHYDROXY AROMATIC COMPOUNDS ARE PROVIDED WHICH ARE OUTSTANDING FOR PRODUCING OIL AND WATER REPELLENT EFFECTS ON TEXTILES AS WELL AS INCREASING THE RESISTANCE TO SOILING BY OILY PARTICULATE SOIL. THE AROMATIC NUCLEUS WHICH MAY CONTAIN 1,2 OR 3 RINGS MAY CONTAIN 1 OR 2 AMINO GROUPS, 1 OR 2 HYDROXY GROUPS AND UP TO 2 HYDROXY METHYL GROUPS. ONE OR 2 OF THE AMINO GROUPS ARE ACYLATED WITH A PERFLUORO ACYL GROUP CONTAINING FROM 3 TO 21 CARBON ATOMS IN WHICH AT LEAST 70% OF THE HYDROGENS HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH FLUORINE. THE COMPOUNDS MAY ALSO CONTAIN ALKYL SUBSTITUENTS OF FROM 1 TO 5 CARBON ATOMS.
