HYDROPHILIC COATINGS FOR TEXTILE MATERIALS

摘要

Silylated organic polymers are provided herein which may be applied to textile materials to impart hydrophilic properties thereto. These polymers are prepared by reacting polymeric organic acids with certain particularly defined silylated aminofunctional polyethers. The resultant composition may then be crosslinked to impart durable hydrophilic properties to textile materials treated therewith. The hydrophilic property improves the comfort of the textile fabrics by wicking away body perspiration Moreover, the silylated organic polymers of this invention improve soil release properties of textile fabrics during laundering. Furthermore, the silylated organic polymers of this invention impart resistance to soil redeposition to textile fabrics treated therewith during alundering. In certain applications textile fabrics treated with these silylated organic polymers exhibit permanent press properties.
