Reaction products prepared by processes which comprise reacting: n A) at least one compound having the general formula I: n R 1 (X) 3 (I) n wherein each X group independently represents a halogen atom or one X group represents a halogen atom and two X groups represent an epoxy oxygen atom, which is attached to two adjacent carbon atoms in the R 1 group to form an epoxy group, and R 1 is an alkanetriyl group having from 3 to 10 carbon atoms; and n B) at least one compound having the general formula II n R 2 X(AO) n Y (II) n wherein R 2 represents a polyfluorinated organic group having from 1 to 36 carbon atoms and at least two fluorine atoms; X represents —O—, —S—, or NR 3 — where R 3 is hydrogen or a C 1 -C 18 alkyl group; each AO group is independently an ethyleneoxy, 1,2-propyleneoxy, or 1,2-butyleneoxy group, n is a number of from 0 to 200; and Y represents hydrogen, a mercapto group, an amino group or a C 1 -C 6 alkylamino group in place of a terminal —OH group, with the proviso that when Y is a mercapto, amino, or a C 1 -C 6 alkylamino group, n is at least 1; are described. |
