Abstract: Compositions comprising a liquid and fumed silica may be applied to fabric and other textile materials as a sealant, e.g., to protect against damage or deterioration. The composition may comprise liquid droplets at least partially or completely surrounded by fumed silica. The liquid may comprise water and one or more polymers, such as a fluorocopolymer and a functionalized anionic polymer.

Abstract: Compositions comprising a liquid and fumed silica may be applied to surfaces as a sealant, e.g., to protect against damage or deterioration. The composition may be a powder, wherein a method of treating the surface includes applying pressure to the powder on the surface with an applicator, and the pressure releases the liquid sealant from the powder onto the surface. The liquid may comprise water and one or more polymers, such as a fluorocopolymer and a functionalized anionic polymer.

Abstract: Compositions comprising a liquid and fumed silica may be applied to fabric and other textile materials as a sealant, e.g., to protect against damage or deterioration. The composition may comprise liquid droplets at least partially or completely surrounded by fumed silica. The liquid may comprise water and one or more polymers, such as anionic polymers, anionic copolymers, fluoropolymers, fluorocopolymers, acrylic polymers, and/or acrylic copolymers. Methods of treating a textile surface with the composition may include depositing the composition on the surface and brushing the particles against the surface, for example. The composition may be in the form of a powder, such that the particles remain intact on the surface upon deposition and release liquid onto the surface upon brushing, for example.
