Abstract: In at least one embodiment, the present invention relates to a stain resistant, water resistant and water repellant treated textile fabric that can be prepared by a) selecting an untreated textile fabric having a first side and a second side, b) topically treating the untreated fabric with an aqueous primary treatment composition comprising a fluorochemical textile treating agent, c) drying and curing the topically treated fabric to obtain a primarily treated fabric, d) securing at least one polymeric film to one side of the fabric, e) providing a polymeric coating on the polymeric film comprising an aqueous secondary treatment composition comprising a fluorochemical textile treating agent, f) applying flock onto the polymeric coating, and g) drying and curing the polymeric coating to obtain a secondary treated fabric.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, the invention relates to a method for disinfecting a non-porous textile fabric. The method includes providing a non-porous textile fabric comprising a barrier system having a fluid barrier property. The barrier system blocks the passage of harmful microorganisms through the non-porous textile fabric. The method further includes selecting a disinfectant such that (1) the disinfectant does not substantially diminish the fluid barrier property of the barrier system upon application to the non-porous textile fabric, and (2) kills the harmful microorganisms. The method also includes applying the disinfectant to the non-porous textile fabric to kill the harmful microorganisms residing on the surface of the non-porous textile fabric. In at least one embodiment, the disinfectant includes a quaternary ammonium compound.

Abstract: A liquid repellant, stain-resistant, antimicrobial fabric. At least one composition comprising an antimicrobial agent and a fluorochemical composition is applied to a fabric such as a jacquard, to produce a treated fabric. The liquid and stain-resistant, antimicrobial, fabric essentially retains its natural texture, is durable and is easy to handle.

Abstract: A liquid and stain-resistant antimicrobial fabric is provided that can withstand the high temperatures required for transfer printing. A coating composition comprising a copolymer composition, an antimicrobial agent and a fluorochemical composition is applied to fabric such as polyester, to produce the coated fabric. The liquid and stain-resistant, antimicrobial, printed fabric retains its natural texture, is durable and easy to handle.

Abstract: Water-resistant, stain-repellant, anti-microbial fabrics are prepared by treating a woven fabric with a topical treating composition containing an acrylate copolymer having a glass transition temperature in the range of 10.degree. C. to 50.degree. C., a substantial amount of fluorochemical, and an antimicrobial, and curing the treated fabric at elevated temperatures. Further increase in water repellency and stain resistance is achieved by a high solids secondary coating applied to one side of the fabric only. The treated fabric retains the appearance, hand, and feel of textile material while being transfer-printable.
