摘要

The invention provides a fabric comprising one or more polyesters optionally with other fibers which is treated with a finish comprising at least one fluorochemical stain repellent agent and at least one fluorochemical stain release agent, wherein the fabric maintains oil repellency and stain release capability after at least five industrial launderings at about 55° C. to about 65° C. The invention also provides a method of treating a fabric with a finish to impart oil repellency, water repellency, and stain release which is durable to repeated industrial laundering. The invention further provides textile articles comprising the treated fabric, and a method for industrial laundering of such treated fabric and textile articles.
