TREATED POLYMER FABRICS

摘要

This invention relates to an article comprising: (A) at least one polymer fabric treated with (B) at least one wetting agent which comprises at least one compound of the formulae <IMAGE> I or <IMAGE> II wherein each R1 is independently a hydrocarbyl group having from about 8 to about 150 carbon atoms; each R2 is independently hydrogen, an alkyl group or polyoxyalkylene group; each R3 is independently an alkylene group; R4 is an alkyl group or polyoxyalkylene group; n is 1 to about 150; and M is a hydrogen, an ammonium cation or a metal cation. The treated polymer fabrics of the present invention have improved wicking/wetting characteristics. Further, the fabrics maintain these characteristics upon repeated exposure to fluids.
