A fluorinated polyester blend is produced by melt blending a fluorovinyl ether functionalized polyester with a non-fluorinated polyester. The fluoroether functionalized polyester may be a homopolymer or a copolymer. The blend is useful for the manufacture of fibers, yarns, fabrics, garments, carpets, and other shaped articles. The molded article exhibits durable soil adhesion prevention, oil repellency and water repellency. |
