Abstract: The present invention involves a composition comprising a fluorochemical compound, an agent to impart gloss, and water, and a wipe containing this composition. The composition and wipe are preferably used for cleaning, protecting and imparting gloss to a substrate, such as natural or artificial leather.

Abstract: The present invention provides an aqueous composition comprising: (a) a melamine that is at least partially derivatised with an aliphatic hydrocarbon group having at least 8 carbon atoms; (b) a wax; and (c) at least one component selected from the group consisting of (i) a reaction product of an aliphatic polyisocyanate and an organic compound having one or more groups capable of reacting with an isocyanate, said reaction product having free isocyanate groups and having a molecular weight of at least 350 g/mol and (ii) a blocked aromatic polyisocyanate. The compositions can be used to treat textile to provide good water repellency properties thereto.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions based on a fluoropolymer comprising repeating units derived from (i) one or more fluorinated monomers selected from the group consisting of monomers according to the general formula: Rf—X—OC(O)—C(R)?CH2 wherein Rf represents a perfluorinated aliphatic group having 3 or 4 carbon atoms, X is an organic divalent linking group and R represents hydrogen or a lower alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms; and (ii) one or more non-fluorinated comonomers. The fluoropolymer has a weight average molecular weight between 3000 and 55000. The compositions may be solvent born or aqueous born and are particularly useful to provide good oil- and/or water repellency properties to the substrate.
