  • Water dispersible finishing compositions for fibrous substrates
    Publication number: 20020102382
    Abstract: The invention relates to water dispersible finishing compositions for fibrous substrates including fibers, fabrics, carpets, nonwoven webs, and the like. The finishing compositions can impart to the fibrous substrate soil resistance and a range of hydrophilic properties from water repellency to water absorbency. Preferably, the finishing compositions can impart stain resistance to the fibrous substrate. The invention also relates to methods for treating fibrous substrates with the finishing compositions of this invention. The compositions can be applied to the substrate and subsequently cured at ambient temperature or above.
