Comparative Analysis of Selected Fluorocarbon-Based Oil and Water-Repellent Finishes on Textiles

Abstract: Efficacy of selected commercially available fluorocarbon-based finish agents, such as Oleophobol (Huntsman) Fluoroguard SX and Fluoroguard VOX (Britacel Silicones) Nuva HPU (Clariant) TG-581 (Resil) Aquaphobe-SNT (Akkshata), on cotton and polyester fabrics was studied with respect to water and oil repellency. All the finish agents exhibited excellent water-and oil-repellent properties on both kinds of fabrics. The contact angle of water on the finished cotton and polyester fabrics was found to be ≥ 140 o Nuva … Show more

“…There are some disadvantages of stearic acid-melamine repellents such as a tendency to exhibit finish mark-off, decreased fabric tear strength and abrasion resistance, changes in shade of dyed fabric, and release of formaldehyde [18]. Due to the high water, oil and soil repellence of finished fabrics [19], fluorocarbons are the most used water repellent finishes. Moreover, fluorocarbon is appropriate to apply on fabrics based on synthetic fibres and their mixtures with cellulosic fibre [17].…”
