Then the following monomers were charged: VDF until 1.0 bar was reached, MA-3 until pressure increased from 1.0 to 2.9 bar and again VDF until pressure increased to 6.0 bar. The polymerization was initiated by adding 8.0 g of APS.
  • Example 3 A 50 U-polymerization kettle was charged with 29 U of F ⁇ O, 300 g of a 30 wt.% of the fluorinated emulsifier of Example 1 and stirred at an agitator speed of 240 rpm. The kettle was heated up to 90 °C and purged with nitrogen. Then the following monomers were charged: VDF until 1.0 bar was reached, MA-3 until pressure increased from 1.0 to 2.0 bar, PMVE from 2.0 to 3.8 bar and again VDF until pressure increased to 6.0 bar. The polymerization was initiated by adding 8.0 g of APS.
  • Treatment Procedure via“Padding” Process The fluoropolymer was applied onto the fabric substrates by immersing the substrates in the treatment dispersion and agitating until the substrate was saturated. The saturated substrate was then run through a padder/roller to remove excess of the dispersion and to obtain a certain % Wet Pick Up (WPU), wherein:
  • a WPU of 100 means that after this process the substrate absorbed 100% of its own weight of the treatment dispersion before drying). Samples were then dried and cured at 170 °C for 3 minutes.
  • SOF Solids on Fabric
  • the spray rating (SR) of a treated substrate is a value indicative of the dynamic repellency of the treated substrate to water that impinges on the treated substrate.
  • the repellency was measured by Test Method 22-1996, published in the 2001 Technical Manual of the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC), and is expressed in terms of a‘spray rating’ of the tested substrate.
  • the spray rating was obtained by spraying 250 milliliters water on the substrate from a height of 15 centimeters.
  • the wetting pattern was visually rated using a 0 to 100 scale, where 0 means complete wetting and 100 means no wetting at all.
  • Spray rating was measured initially and after the fabric was laundered 5 or 20 times (designated as 5L or 20L respectively).
  • the laundering procedure consisted of placing a 400 - 900 square centimeter sheet of treated substrate in a washing machine (A Kenmore Elite washing machine) along with ballast sample (1.9 kilograms (kg) of 8-ounce fabric).
  • a commercial detergent (“TIDE” available from Proctor & Gamble)
  • Oil Repellency Method The oil repellency (OR) of a treated substrate is measured by the American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists (AATCC) Standard Test Method No 118-1983, which is based on the resistance of a treated substrate to penetration by oils of varying surface tensions (see U.S. Patent No. 5,910,557). Ratings from 1 to 8 were assigned, with higher values indicating better oil repellency.
  • WR Water Repellency
  • the water repellency (WR) of a substrate was measured using a series of water-isopropyl alcohol test liquids and was expressed in terms of the "WR" rating of the treated substrate.
  • the WR rating corresponded to the most penetrating test liquid which did not penetrate or wet the substrate surface after 15 seconds exposure.
  • Fabric A Taslan Dobby woven nylon fabric (NTD), having a basis weight of 115 grams per square meter.
  • the nylon fabric is characterized by the Chinese manufacturer as 70D* l60D/l66T*83T, dyed and prepared for finishing.
  • Fabric B Poly Pongee woven polyester fabric (PPP), having a basis weight of 84 grams per square meter.
  • the polyester fabric is characterized by the Chinese manufacturer as 75D*75D/l45T*90T, dyed and prepared for finishing.
  • Samples were prepared with Fabrics A and B according to the Treatment Procedure via
