| abstract |
The present invention relates to a durable stain resistant composition 102 which comprises (a) from about 3 to 8% of at least one silicon nanoparticle surface functionalized with a (pentafluorophenyl) triethoxysilane 104, and (b) about 3 at 8% of at least one hydrophobic agent selected from a group comprising a polymer of (a) methacrylic esters of C 1 to C 18 aliphatic alcohols, or (b) vinyl acetate, or (c) acrylonitrile. The stain resistant composition further comprises (a) at least one softening agent 110, (b) an extender 108, (c) at least one of (i) a wetting agent and / or (ii) an agent re-wetting 112, and (d) a micro-encapsulated odor neutralizing agent 114. A method of producing a stain-resistant fabric 118 using the durable stain resistant composition 102 is further disclosed. . |
