  • Patent number: 5725789
    Abstract: Oil and water repellent compositions for the treatment of fiber containing substrates such as fabric and the like, substrates treated with these compositions and methods for the treatment of substrates are described. The compositions of the invention comprise (a) a polyalkoxylated polyurethane and (b) a fluorochemical acrylate polymer comprising the polymerized reaction product of a fluorinated acrylate or methacrylate monomer, at least one alkyl acrylate or methacrylate monomer and a polymerizable cationic emulsifier comprising a quaternary amine surfactant. Additionally, (c) a polyalkylene glycol fluorochemical acrylate copolymer and (d) a fluorochemical adipate ester can also be included within the compositions. The above components are blended together within the composition at a weight ratios of (a):(b), or (a)+(c):(b), or (a)+(c)+(d):(b) of from 19:1 to 1:19 and preferably about 1:1.

  • Patent number: 4463523
    Abstract: A weatherstrip assembly comprising an integral extrusion of polymeric material comprising a stiff portion adapted to be adhered on the vertical surface of a door with a flexible strip portion extending below the bottom edge of the door and along a threshold. A first magnetized strip is attached on the flexible portion and a second metal strip is adapted to be adhered to the surface of the threshold so that the strips will be face to face and releasably seal between the door and the threshold when the door is closed.
