PCT No. PCT/US98/09797 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 24, 1999 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 24, 1999 PCT Filed May 14, 1998 PCT Pub. No. WO98/51723 PCT Pub. Date Nov. 19, 1998A method for preparing a fluorochemical composition comprising a polyurethane by reacting: (A) fluorochemical oligomer of formula (I): MfmMn-Q1-T1, wherein: MfmMn represents fluorochemical oligomer comprising m units derived from fluorinated monomer and n units derived from fluorine-free monomer and wherein the fluorinated monomers and fluorine-free monomers may be the same or different; m represents a value of 2 to 40; n represents a value of 0 to 20; T1 is -OH or -NH2; Q1 and T1 together represent the organic residue obtained by removing a hydrogen atom from a chain transfer agent that is functionalized with T1; (B) difunctional compound capable of reacting with an isocyanate; (C) monofunctional compound capable of reacting with an isocyanate and comprising a poly(oxyalkylene) group with (D) triisocyanate. Substrates treated with fluorochemical compositions prepared according to the method, have good stain release properties, particularly for oily stains and water based stains such as wine, tea and coffee. |
