  • Patent number: 4929471
    Abstract: A method of treating polyester fabric to enhance the physical properties thereof. The fabric is first exposed to a solution comprising a wetting agent, a nonionic fluorocarbon long chain polymer, a nonionic, cationic or anionic nonsilicone based softener, a gum and a carrier comprising water and/or an organic solvent. The fabric is then exposed to heat and tension to evaporate the carrier from the solution, polymerize the nonionic fluorocarbon long chain polymer, cross-link the polyester, the softener, the gum and the nonionic fluorocarbon long chain polymer and reorient the polyester to a more crystalized structure.
