Lower homologue perfluoroalkylethyl (meth)acrylates copolymerized with vinylidene chloride and alkyl (meth)acrylates; optionally with N-methylolacrylamide, hydroxyalkyl (meth)acrylates, and/or alkyloxy (meth)acrylates, impart high levels of water-, alcohol- and oil-repellency to fabrics under mild conditions.

Water- and oil-repellent fluoro(meth)acrylate copolymers

Oil- and water-repellent solid fluoropolymers are disclosed, comprising by weight:

Oil- and water-repellent copolymers

Dry soil resistance and nonflame propagating characteristics are insured in textile fibers by applying thereto an aqueous dispersion containing a perfluoroalkyl ester of a carboxylic acid of from 3 to 30 carbon atoms. After the dispersion is applied, the fibers are dried at between 120.degree. to 170.degree. C.
