A finish that increase the absorbency of a fabric, this finish allowed stains to leave the fabric faster, increase the wicking action for greater comfort in wear, makes fabric dry-cleanable with out significant loss of soil release properties, and maintains brightness after respective repeated laundering. The stain repellent is applied on the outside of the fabric to allow most water- and oil-based stains to roll off. These finishes are applied at the same time the resins are applied to the textiles. Most are durable to 40 to 50 launderings.
2. Treatment with hydrophilic substances: Copolymers of ethyl acrylate with acrylic acid are used for soil release. Permalose T of ICI is applied (1-3%) to polyester and its blends by the pad-dry-cure process; it helps soil removal, prevents redeposition of soil during washing and prevents accumulation of static charges thereby reducing attraction of dust from the air. The finish is fast to washing and dry cleaning.
surface necessary for oily soil release. Typically, these modified fluoropolymers are pad applied to fabrics in combination with the durable press crosslinking agents to increase the durability of the finish. The higher cost of the fluorochemical soil release agents compared to the acrylic copolymers is somewhat compensated by the low add-on required for soil-release performance. Mixtures of both polymers types provide a common compromise between efficiency and costs.
