Modified polyurethanes containing perfluoroaliphatic groups which are obtained by reacting oligo(poly)urethanes containing free hydroxyl or isocyanate groups and perfluoroaliphatic groups with di/polyfunctional polysiloxanes at elevated temperatures with conversion of all the reactive groups of the urethane are used for the oil- and water-repellent finishing of fiber materials, conferring on these materials thus treated not only laundering- and drycleaning-stable effects but also in particular a very soft, full hand of very good surface smoothness, these excellent hand effects being further optimized by the addition of a polyethylene dispersion and/or of further customary textile assistants, in particular water-repellent fluorocarbon compounds.

Modified polyurethanes containing perfluoroaliphatic groups and use

Modified polyurethanes containing perfluoroaliphalic groups which are obtained by reacting oligo(poly)urethanes containing free hydroxyl or isocyanate groups and perfluoroaliphatic groups with di/polyfunctional polysiloxanes at elevated temperatures with conversion of all the reactive groups of the urethane are used for the oil- and water-repellent finishing of fiber materials, conferring on these materials thus treated not only laundering- and drycleaning-stable effects but also in particular a very soft, full hand of very good surface smoothness, these excellent hand effects being further optimized by the addition of a polyethylene dispersion and/or of further customary textile assistants, in particular water-repellent fluorocarbon compounds.

The present invention relates to a process for obtaining wash- and cleaning-resistant textile finishes by impregnating with customary reactive perfluoroalkyl-containing (co)polymers and/or precondensates in aqueous dispersion and concluding heating, wherein the dispersions have NCO-containing compounds which have a molecular weight of at least 450 and/or contain a diphenylmethane-based polyisocyanate mixture in blocked form. The process according to the invention has made it possible to equip textiles with water-repellant and oil-repellant finishes which are very highly wash- and cleaning-resistant.

Alkoxylation products in form of solutions in organic solvents or, preferably, in form of aqueous emulsions, stable against hydrolytic influences are used in a process for finishing textile materials to impart to these an excellent soft, superficially smooth fell connected with the improvement of tearing strength, abrasion resistance and sewability. The alkoxylation products are obtained by alkoxylation of hydrogen organopolysiloxanes, in particular of methyl hydrogen polysiloxanes with monovalent saturated and/or unsaturated alcohols having 4 to 22 C atoms.

A process for the production of modified polymers, preferable in organic solvents, by radical-initiated polymerization of

Modified polysiloxanes and process of preparing them

An aqueous medium containing reactive polymers, the reactive groups being N-methylol and/or etherified N-methylol groups, preferably based on methylolated, etherified or not, unsaturated carboxylic acid amides, included by polymerization, the portion of said reactive monomers being preferably 2.5 to 20% by weight, related to the total weight of the polymers, is applied to textiles by impregnation or preferably by coating in the presence of silanes and/or siloxanes containing amino groups and organometallic compounds, preferably zinc soaps and/or dialkyl-tin dicarboxylates as hardening agents, and heated at elevated temperature. A waterproof and water-repellent finish is obtained, resistant to washing and dry cleaning.

Process for treating textiles with reactive polymers

While good oil-repellency can be imparted to fibre materials by treating them with polymers containing perfluoralkyl groups, it is difficult to impart water-repellency to the fibre materials at the same time and also give the treated materials a good handle. This is achieved by treating the fibre materials with, besides the perfluoralkyl group-containing polymers, an addition product of a) an unsaturated compound which is an olefin, a vinyl or allyl ester of an aliphatic straight or branched chain acid, a vinyl ether whose alkyl radical has at least 4 carbon atoms, an allyl ether whose alkyl radical has at least 4 carbon atoms and/or a vinyl halide with b) an organopolysiloxane which contains hydrogen atoms bonded to silicon atoms, the addition product containing on average more than 7 carbon atoms in the alkyl radical and at least 0.20 mole of the unsaturated component a) per gram atom of hydrogen in the siloxane component b).

New fluorine-containing organopolysiloxanes are provided which are obtained by reaction in known manner of organopolysiloxanes which contain hydrogen atoms bonded to silicon, a perfluoroalkyl compound for the formula
