Abstract: A composition for imparting surface properties to substrates comprising a polymer of at least one polyurethane having at least one urea linkage prepared by: (i) reacting (a) at least one diisocyanate, polyisocyanate, or mixture thereof, having isocyanate groups, and (b) at least one fluorinated compound selected from the formula (I): Rf1-L-X??(I) wherein Rf1 is a monovalent, partially or fully fluorinated, linear or branched, alkyl radical having 2 to 100 carbon atoms; optionally interrupted by 1 to 50 oxygen atoms; wherein the ratio of carbon atoms to oxygen atoms is at least 2:1 and no oxygen atoms are bonded to each other; L is a bond or a linear or branched divalent linking group having 1 to about 20 carbon atoms, said linking group optionally interrupted by 1 to about 4 hetero-radicals selected from the group consisting of —O—, —NR1—, —S—, —SO—, —SO2—, and —N(R1)C(O)— wherein R1 is H or C1 to C6 alkyl, and said linking group optionally substituted with CH2Cl; X is an isocyanate-reactive group selec

Abstract: A substrate for an endless belt in a papermaking machine comprising a plurality of preformed layers coated or impregnated with a polymeric or rubber material. Each preformed layer may be a textile material. At least one layer contains a matrix of preformed reinforcing components. The individual layers are first coated with a polymer resin or rubber material and then combined/stacked and cured/bonded to form the substrate of the belt.

Abstract: A textile benefit composition comprising a polyurethane and/or a polyurethane co-polymer; a cross-linking agent; a catalyst; and a carrier and processes for making and using the aforementioned compositions and textiles treated with such compositions are disclosed.

Abstract: A water-vapor-permeable waterproof composite fabric having high flexibility, water pressure resistance and water laundering resistance is constituted from a substrate fabric and a polyether-ester elastomer (PEE-A) film layer laminated to the substrate fabric through a polyether-ester elastomer (PEE-B) binder layer, each of PEE-A and PEE-B including polyalkylene glycol residues, alkyleneglycol residues and dicarboxylic acid residues, in which composite fabric, (1) the PEE-A contains 5 to 25% by mass of polyethyleneglycol residues, (2) the PEE-A film layer is 5 to 5 &mgr;m thick, (3) the PEE-B has a melting temperature of at least 20° C. below that of the PEE-A and (4) the PEE-B binder layer is present in an amount of 2 to 20 g/m2.

Abstract: A web transfer belt is provided having a good paper releasability with good paper releasability and having stable surface features. The web transfer belt includes a high-molecular weight elastic member 2 having a web-receiving face 2b for receiving a web P to transfer, and a surface layer forming member 3 disposed on the high-molecular weight elastic weight member 2. A portion of high-molecular weight elastic weight member 2 is exposed on web-receiving face 2b, with one of the web-receiving face 2b and surface layer forming member 3 being made of a hydrophobic material. In this way, water-repellent portions and water-condensing portions are dispersed on the web-receiving face, with recesses and protrusions at fine scales, which can break a water film formed between web-receiving face 2b and web P, and can be easily formed on the web-receiving face 2b.

Abstract: A two-structure composite for protection from high velocity water jets is provided and includes one structure of tightly woven aramid yarns impregnated by a resin matrix and one structure of nonwoven, bulked, material.
