Soil Release and Stain Resistance Finishing
topic
Soil release finishing applies hydrophilic fluorocarbon or polyester polymer systems that provide both oil stain repellency in dry state and improved oily soil removal during laundering by creating a hydrophilic surface layer that facilitates water displacement of oily soil during washing, combining water repellency from fluorocarbon outer surface with hydrophilic soil release polymer between the fluorocarbon groups.
Role
Provides the dual-function easy-clean property of soil release finishes that repel oily soil deposition during wear while improving its removal during laundering, with this combined functionality being particularly valuable for easy-care workwear, hospitality uniforms, and tablelinens where both in-use stain resistance and simplified laundering of acquired soil are required performance attributes commanding premium commercial value.
