Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé de traitement favorisant le décollement de saleté de surfaces de matériaux textiles et non textiles. Ce procédé consiste à appliquer à la surface desdits matériaux des nanoparticules hydrophiles modifiées par voie cationique, à base de polymères non réticulés constitués a) de 60 à 100 % en poids d'un ou de plusieurs monomères éthyléniquement insaturés renfermant des groupes carboxyle ou de sels de ceux-ci, (b) de 0 à 40 % en poids d'un ou de plusieurs monomères insolubles dans l'eau et monoéthyléniquement insaturés, (c) de 0 à 25 % en poids d'un ou de plusieurs monomères renfermant des groupes d'acide sulfonique et/ou d'acide phosphonique ou de sels de ceux-ci et (d) de 0 à 30 % en poids d'un ou de plusieurs monomères non ioniques solubles dans l'eau, provenant d'une dispersion aqueuse. La dispersion des nanoparticules hydrophiles peut être stabilisée avec des émulsifiants anioniques, non ioniques et/ou bétaïniques et/ou des colloïdes protecteurs. Lesdites nanoparticules hydrophiles présentent une taille particulaire allant de 10 nm à 2 νm et peuvent être modifiées par voie cationique par revêtement de leur surface avec un ou plusieurs polymères cationiques, un ou plusieurs ions métalliques polyvalents et/ou un ou plusieurs agents tensio-actifs cationiques.
