Alkylated fluorochemical oligomers and use thereof in the treatment of fibrous substrates
First Claim
1. A method of treating fibrous substrates comprising contacting the fibrous substrate with composition comprising an aikylated fluorochemical oligomeric compound comprising:
- (i) at least one fluorochemical oligomeric portion comprising an aliphatic backbone with a plurality of fluoroaliphatic groups attached thereto, each fluoroaliphatic group having a fully fluoridated terminal group and each independently linked to a carbon atom of the aliphatic backbone through an organic linking group;
(ii) at least one aliphatic moiety; and
(iii) a linking group which links the fluorochemical oligomeric portion to the aliphatic moiety.

Abstract
This invention provides a method of treating fibrous substrates, such as leather, by contacting the substrate with a fluorochemical compound comprising: a fluorochemical oligomeric portion comprising an aliphatic backbone with a plurality of pendant fluoroaliphatic groups, each fluoroaliphatic group having a fully fluorinated terminal group and each independently linked to a carbon atom of the aliphatic backbone through an organic linking group; an aliphatic moiety; and a linking group which links the fluorochemical oligomeric portion to the aliphatic moiety. The fluorochemical compounds provide desirable oil, water and stain repellency to fibrous substrates.
