“…Most of the DWR finished garments undergo a reduction in repellency during the textile's lifetime (Arunyadej et al, 1998;Leonas, 1998). The change of this macroscopic material property is a clear argument for the loss of chemicals from DWR finished fabrics and several mechanisms are conceivable.…”

“…It prevents the dissipation of static electrical charges and it blocks paths that might transfer the charge from the fabric surface to the environment. 16 Development of a polyester that resists static and water is challenging because the hydrophobic mechanism of water repellency tends to counteract the hydrophilic antistatic mechanism.…”

It is desirable for textiles to prevent static charges and to repel water. This work used nano-silver antistatic finish and fluorine water-repellent finish in order to determine whether it is possible for antistatic and water-repellent properties to coexist on a single sample of polyester fabric. The antistatic and water-repellent fabric finishes were each tested singly first; both finishes were combined in each of three treatments, namely the one-bath, two-bath A, and two-bath B treatments. The antistatic and the water-repellent properties of the finished fabrics were evaluated by FTTS—FA—009 and AATCC 22 spray rating standards. The nano-silver and fluorochemical finishes individually showed high performance properties on polyester fabric. It was found that the order of the finishing processes has a significant effect on the antistatic and water-repellent properties of polyester fabric. The two-bath B process treated polyester fabric, first with 5 wt% nano-silver antistat and then with 3 wt% fluorine water-repellent. After 10 washings, the fabric finished with the two-bath B process was certified to FTTS—FA—009 A grade for its antistatic properties; it was certified to AATCC 22 spray rating 90 grade for its water-repellent qualities.

“…Typically, textile fluorochemicals are cationic in nature but can also be in their non-ionic or anionic forms. They are aqueous dispersions of a fluorinated polymer with some processing aids such as organic solvents or surfactants selected according to desired performance properties required like repellency or release etc., along with new advancement which does not affect other properties of the fabric (Arunyadej et al 1998;Easter and Ankenman, 2004;Hashim 1986). Oleophobol CPR, a soil release chemical is made up of dispersion of a perfluorinated polymer compound having non-ionic/cationic nature.…”

Soiling of textiles is an irresistible process that deteriorates the appearance of fabric caused by gradual accumulation of soil on it. Cotton fabrics were finished with two different types of soil releasing agents, viz. Oleophobol CPR (fluorocarbon based) and Carboxymethyl cellulose sodium salt (CMC-Na) using Box-Behnken and Full factorial designs, respectively and the effect of factors and their levels on soil release property of fabric was studied. Finished fabrics were tested for two different soils i.e., mustard oil and hot coffee. From soiled and laundered fabrics soil release was evaluated for soil release rating as well as instrumental prediction with K/S value to measure discolouration of fabric due to soil. The CMC-Na salt finished cotton fabric picked up significantly more soil compared to that with Oleophobol CPR which resisted deposition of soil on fabric. Cotton fabrics finished with both of these showed excellent soil release with mustard oil and had better finish durability with Oleophobol CPR. Physical properties were comparable except stiffness which was high in CMC-Na finished cotton.
