Fibers, fabrics and leathers are treated by applying 0.1 to 15 weight percent treatment composition to the fibers, fabrics and leathers based on the weight of the fibers, fabrics or leathers. The treatment composition comprises a mixture containing a silicone resin component and a fluorocarbon component. The fluorocarbon component can be at least one of an emulsion containing a fluoroalkyl acrylate copolymer or an emulsion containing a fluorinated polyurethane. The silicone resin component comprises (i) an amino functional silicone resin, (ii) an emulsion containing an amino functional silicone resin, (iii) a carbinol functional silicone resin, and (iv) an emulsion containing a carbinol functional silicone resin. , (V) an epoxy functional silicone resin or (vi) an emulsion containing an epoxy functional silicone resin. |
