TEXTILE MATERIALS CONTAINING SUBSTANTIAL PROPORTIONS OF CELLULOSIC AND/OR HYDROPHOBIC CONSITUENTS ARE PROVIDED WITH BOTH DURABLE-PRESS AND SOIL-RELEASE PROPERTIES BY DEPOSITING ON SAID TEXTILE MATERIALS ACID CATALYZED DURABLEPRESS RESIN PRECURSOR; POLYETHER DERIVATIVE SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF POLYALKYLENE GLCOLS, THE MONOAND DI-FATTY ACID ESTES OF POLYALKYLENE GLYCOLS, AND THE MONO- AND DI-ALKYL ETHERS OF POLYALKYLENE GLYCOLS, AND THEIR MIXTURES; FLUOROCARBON POLYMER, AND A CATALYTIC QUANTITY OF ACIDIC CATALYST. THE FLUOROCARBON POLYMER CONTAINS HIGHLY FLUORINATED OLEPHOBIC AND HYDROPHOBIC PORTIONS AND NONFLUORINATED HYDROPHILIC PORTIONS. |
