  • Patent number: 9371412
    Abstract: A process for imparting grease, oil and water repellence to a substrate comprises applying by means of a printing process on at least a portion of the surface of such substrate a composition comprising at least one (per)fluoropolyether derivative. By means of such process it is possible to confer suitable grease, oil and water repellence properties to substrates via selective treatment/coating, by significantly reducing total amount of fluoro-containing additive required for the target properties.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 30, 2009
    Date of Patent: June 21, 2016
    Assignee: Solvay Specialty Polymers Italy S.P.A.
    Inventors: Mahesh Padigala, Grazia Meroni, George Michael Finelli
  • Publication number: 20130068408
    Abstract: The invention pertains to an aqueous composition comprising at least one mono-functional (per)fluoropolyether monoester phosphate having formula (I) here below: wherein: Rf is a C1-C5 (per)fluoroalkyl group optionally containing hydrogen and/or chlorine atoms; RF is a linear perfluoropolyoxyalkylene chain [chain (RF)]; X+ is a monovalent cation; Y is a —OH group or a —O? X+ group, wherein X+ has the same meaning as defined above; p is an integer equal to or higher than 1.

  • Patent number: 7666940
    Abstract: Aqueous dispersions comprising a mixture of: A) from 0.05% by weight to 10% by weight of salts of perfluoropolyether di-carboxylic derivatives having formula: T-O—Rf-T??(IA) wherein T=—CF2—COOZ or —CF2CF2—COOZ wherein Z=Na, K, NH4, R1(R2)(R3)N wherein R1=R2=alkyl or hydroxyalkyl, R3=H, alkyl or hydroxyalkyl, Rf is a (per)fluoropolyoxyalkylene chain having number average molecular weight between 500 and 10,000. B) from 0.01% to 5% by weight of water-dispersible or water-soluble cationic polymers, having a charge density, defined as number of equivalents per weight unit of dry polymer, higher than 1 meq/g of dry polymer.
