Abstract:
The present invention relates in general to treated spacer fabrics and a method of preparing such spacer fabrics and more particularly to a spacer fabric being treated for imparting the spacer fabric with at least one or all of the properties selected from good flame retardancy, good oil repellency, high spray rating and low volatile emissions. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of a specific liquid treating composition for preparing a treated spacer fabric having at least one or all of the properties selected from good flame retardancy, good oil repellency, high spray rating and low volatile emissions.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to compositions and methods for treating textile fibers and, in particular, to compositions and methods for treating fibers of carpet and other floor coverings. In one aspect, the present invention provides compositions and methods that can reduce energy consumption and conserve water resources in the production of dyed fibrous substrates having desirable repellency and stain resistant properties.
Abstract:
Methods and treatment compositions for imparting durable antimicrobial properties to carpet are provided. The method includes applying a composition comprising a first antimicrobial compound and a fluoropolymer to the carpet substrate. The carpet substrate may be steamed thereafter. The treatment composition may comprise a fluoropolymer, an antimicrobial compound selected from a group consisting of zinc pyrithione, a silver-containing antimicrobial compound and combinations thereof, and a foamer. Carpet products treated with the treatment composition or treated in accordance with the methods are also provided.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for producing a coated textile, which comprises treating a textile substrate with an aqueous liquor comprising (A) at least one hydrophobic polymer, (B) if appropriate at least one condensation product of at least one amino-containing compound and at least one aldehyde or dialdehyde and if appropriate of at least one alcohol, and thereafter with a further aqueous liquor comprising (A) at least one hydrophobic polymer, (B) at least one condensation product of at least one amino-containing compound and at least one aldehyde or dialdehyde and if appropriate of at least one alcohol, (C) at least one solid in particulate form having an average particle diameter in the range from 1 to 500 nm.
Abstract:
Certain chemical compositions provide superior repellency, durability, and soil (stain) release properties when applied to a textile or fabric. Compositions may contain a fluorochemical-containing soil release component or a crosslinking component, or both, and also may contain an antimicrobial agent. In some applications, the crosslinking component may be hydrophobic, so as to be generally not compatible with aqueous environments. Compositions having less than about 6 weight percent of a fluorochemical-containing soil release component, based upon the weight of the treating composition, may be employed in some applications.
