Abstract:
A stain resistant composition for fibers having polyamide linkages prepared by polymerizing an .alpha.-substituted acrylic acid or ester in the presence of a sulfonated aromatic formaldehyde condensation plymer, or by polymerization of a sulfonated hydroxyaromatic ester of an .alpha.-substituted acrylic acid or acrylic acid, and methods for making and applying the composition.
Abstract:
Novel polyacrylic acid resins are prepared by polymerizing H.sub.2 C.dbd.CHCO.sub.2 H, H.sub.2 C.dbd.CRCO.sub.2 X, or HRC.dbd.CHCO.sub.2 X, wherein R is an aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon, halogenated hydrocarbon, or sulfonated hydrocarbon of from C.sub.1 to C.sub.20, phenol, naphthol, sulfonated phenol, sulfonated naphthol, or a halogen, and X is hydrogen, alkyl, or a hydroxylated, ethoxylated, sulfonated, or halogenated aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon of from C.sub.1 to C.sub.20, sodium, potassium, ammonium, or quaternary amine, in the presence of aromatic sulfonic acid or its salt to form a polymer in which the sulfonated aromatic compound is covalently bound to the polymer. In an alternative embodiment, a textile processing or cleansing compound is included in the polymerization reaction along with the acrylic acid and aromatic sulfonic acid or its salt. The resulting polymers have superior properties for use in textile processing and cleaning, and can be used as detergents, acid dye levelers, surfactants, emulsifiers, yarn lubricants, copolymerizing agents, polymer after treat agents, defoamers, chelating agents, flocculants, anti-static agents, flame retardants, metal cleaners, metal coatings, and as multipurpose acids.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to compositions and methods for treating textile fibers and, in particular, to compositions and methods for treating fibers of carpet and other floor coverings. In one aspect, the present invention provides compositions and methods that can reduce energy consumption and conserve water resources in the production of dyed fibrous substrates having desirable repellency and stain resistant properties.
Abstract:
The present invention provides compositions for treating textiles, including carpet and other floor coverings. Compositions of the present invention, in some embodiments, can impart flame resistant and/or stain resistant properties to fibers, including synthetic fibers comprising polyolefins, polyamides, and polyesters such as polytrimethylene terephthalate.
Abstract:
A stain resistant composition for fibers having polyamide linkages prepared by polymerizing an .alpha.-substituted acrylic acid or ester in the presence of a sulfonated aromatic formaldehyde condensation polymer, and methods for making and applying the composition.

Abstract:
Permanently stain resistant nylon and cellulosic fibers, and a method to impart permanent stain resistance to polyamide or cellulosic fibers, by covalently binding a stain resistant composition to a linking compound that has been covalently attached to the fiber are disclosed. This invention represents a significant advance in the art of textile treatments in that the covalently linked stain resist treatment is not removed after a series of alkaline shampooings. This invention is particularly useful in the preparation of commercial grade carpets for heavy traffic areas that will not lose their stain resistance after frequent shampooing.
