  • Patent number: 4107055
    Abstract: A fabric coating composition, including a polymer having a glass transition temperature above room temperature, an ionic fluorinated surfactant and a carrier. The preferred fluorinated surfactants have 5 to 30 carbons per hydrophylic end and include fluoro ether surfactants having radicals of the formula (CF.sub.3).sub.2 CFOCF.sub.2 CF.sub.2 -- or fluoroalkyl surfactants having radicals of the formula CnF.sub.2n+1 -- where n is 6 to 12. The polymer may be dissolved or, preferably, emulsified by an emulsifier to form a latex. The polymer is preferably applied to fabric at a rate giving a dry solids content of about 0.25 to 10%, to give dry soil resistance.

  • Patent number: 4060555
    Abstract: Chlorofluorinated aliphatic ketones may be effectively produced by an oxychlorofluorination process by reacting a gaseous mixture of a starting material selected from an aliphatic ketone and a halogenated aliphatic ketone in which the halogen atoms are selected from chlorine and fluorine, or mixtures thereof, an oxygen-containing gas, a chlorinating agent selected from the group consisting of HCl and Cl.sub.2 and mixtures thereof, and HF, in the presence of a Deacon catalyst supported by a stable, inert metal salt carrier.

  • Patent number: 4052468
    Abstract: Chlorofluorinated cycloaliphatic hydrocarbons may be effectively produced by an oxychlorofluorination process by reacting a gaseous mixture of a starting material selected from a cycloaliphatic hydrocarbon and a cycloaliphatic hydrohalocarbon in which the halo atoms are selected from chloro and fluoro, or mixtures thereof, an oxygen-containing gas, a chlorinating agent selected from the group consisting of HCl and Cl.sub.2 and mixtures thereof, and HF, in the presence of a Deacon catalyst supported by a stable, inert metal salt carrier.
