HIGHLY DURABLE, COATED FABRICS EXHIBITING HYDROPHOBICITY, OLEOPHOBICITY AND STAIN RESISTANCE, AND RELATED METHODS

摘要

The present invention provides a hydrophobic, oleophobic and stain resistant fabric comprising a woven, non-woven, or knitted fabric substrate coated wit h a polymer system comprising a scrub resistant first layer and a second layer comprising a fluoropolymer bonded to the scrub resistant first layer. A meth od for producing a hydrophobic, oleophobic and stain resistant fabric including the steps of selecting a suitable fabric substrate and applying first layer to form a scrub resistant first layer; drying and curing the scrub resistant first layer; applying a fluoropolymer coating over the first layer to form a second layer; and drying and curing the second layer. Articles comprising a fabric as described herein are also provided.
