Claims
- 1. A process for providing soil resistance and resistance to staining by acid dyes to fibers comprising application of an effective amount of a composition comprising a copolymer having units of Formula II: ##STR4## wherein M is H, alkali metal, ammonium cation, or a mixture thereof;
- N is OM or a mixture of OM, OR, and NR.sub.1 R.sub.2 in a molar ratio of (OM):(OR):(NR.sub.1 R.sub.2) of �1-(e+f)!:e:f, wherein e and f) are each independently 0 to 0.5, provided that (e+f) is less than 0.8;
- R, R.sub.1, and R.sub.2 are each independently H or a branched or straight chain C.sub.1-20 alkyl;
- Y is a C.sub.2-10 alkyl, C.sub.6-12 aryl, or C.sub.4-12 alkoxy;
- X is a fluorinated thiol radical;
- Z is H;and
- v and w are each a positive number such that the molar ratio of v to w is from about 0.4:1 to about 1.3:1.
- 2. The process of claim 1 wherein the effective amount of the composition of Formula II is from about 0.1% to about 5.0% based on weight of fiber.
- 3. The process of claim 1 wherein the composition of Formula II is applied simultaneously with at least one other phenolic resin stain resist or polycarboxylic stain resist.
- 4. A process for providing soil resistance or resistance to staining by acid dyes to carpet comprising topical application in situ to the carpet of an effective amount of a composition comprising a copolymer-having units of Formula II: ##STR5## wherein M is H, alkali metal, ammonium cation, or a mixture thereof;
- N is OM or a mixture of OM, OR, and NR.sub.1 R.sub.2 in a molar ratio of (OM):(OR):(NR.sub.1 R.sub.2) of �1-(e+f)!:e:f, wherein e and f are each independently 0 to 0.5, provided that (e+f) is less than 0.8;
- R, R.sub.1, and R.sub.2 are each independently H or a branched or straight chain C.sub.1-20 alkyl;
- Y is a C.sub.2-10 alkyl, C.sub.6-12 aryl, or C.sub.4-12 alkoxy;
- X is a fluorinated thiol radical;
- Z is H; and
- v and w are each a positive number such that the molar ratio of v to w is from about 0.4:1 to about 1.3:1.
- 5. A fiber to which has been applied a composition comprising a copolymer having units of Formula II: ##STR6## wherein M is H, alkali metal, ammonium cation, or a mixture thereof;
- N is OM or a mixture of OM, OR, and NR.sub.1 R.sub.2 in a molar ratio of (OM):(OR):(NR.sub.1 R.sub.2) of �1-(e+f)!:e:f, wherein e and f are each independently 0 to 0.5, provided that (e+f) is less than 0.8;
- R, R.sub.1, and R.sub.2 are each independently H or a branched or straight chain C.sub.1-20 alkyl;
- Y is a C.sub.2-10 alkyl, C.sub.6-12 aryl, or C.sub.4-12 alkoxy;
- X is a fluorinated thiol radical;
- Z is H; and
- v and w are each a positive number such that the molar ratio of v to w is from about 0.4:1 to about 1.3:1.
- 6. The fiber of claim 5 selected from the group consisting of nylon, silk or wool.
