Description

Water repellent composition

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a water repellent composition.

[0002] Development of non-fluorine-based water repellents has been progressing as a water repellent agent for imparting water repellency to substrates (especially textile products). For example, it is known that excellent oil repellency can be provided by treating fabrics with a composition containing a blend of a non-fluorine-containing acrylic ester copolymer and a polyether-modified polydimethylsiloxane at a high concentration.

[0110] The silicone may have at least one long-chain hydrocarbon group. For example, R ５１ At least one of R ５３ or R ５１ and R ５３ At least one of each of R ５１At least one (for example, one) of the above may be a long-chain hydrocarbon group. Here, the long-chain hydrocarbon group may be a saturated hydrocarbon group having 6 or more, 10 or more, 15 or more, or 20 or more carbon atoms, preferably 10 or more or 23 or more carbon atoms.

[0111] The long-chain hydrocarbon group R is preferred because it is easy to produce industrially and is readily available. ５１ and R ５３ Other than R ５１ and R ５３ is preferably a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and more preferably a methyl group.

[0112] a is an integer of 0 or more. In terms of ease of industrial production and availability, a may be 40 or less, 30 or less, or 20 or less, and is preferably 30 or less.

[0113] The sum of a and b is 5 to 200. From the viewpoints of ease of industrial production, availability, and handling, the sum of a and b is preferably 10 to 100, and more preferably 40 to 60. a may be 0 to 150, for example, 1 to 100. The lower limit of b may be 1, 2, or 3, and the upper limit of b may be 150, 10, or 5.

[0114] When a or b is 2 or more, a plurality of R ５１ and R ５２ may be the same or different.

[0115] R ５１ and R ５３ group (for example, when represented by the following formula (S2), R ５１and R ５２ Group and R ５３ It is preferred that 50 mol % or more of the total of the alkyl groups) be methyl groups.

[0116] The order of the repeating units bound by a or b is not limited to the order shown in the chemical formula, and can be any order. That is, the silicone may be a random polymer or a block polymer.

[0117] For example, silicones may be of the formula: (R 53 )3Si-O-[-Si(R 51 )2-O-] a -[-Si(R 51 )(R 52 )-O-] ｂ -Si(R 53 )3 (S2) [wherein, R ５１ each independently represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 40 carbon atoms, an aryl group having 6 to 40 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group having 1 to 40 carbon atoms, or a long-chain hydrocarbon group; ５２ each independently represents a long chain hydrocarbon group; ５３ each independently represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 40 carbon atoms, an aryl group having 6 to 40 carbon atoms, an alkoxy group having 1 to 40 carbon atoms, or a long-chain hydrocarbon group, a represents an integer of 0 or more, b represents an integer of 1 or more, and (a+b) is 5 to 200. In formula (S2), R ５１ and R ５３ may have an alkyl group having 3 to 40 carbon atoms or an unsaturated hydrocarbon group having 6 to 40 carbon atoms (for example, a hydrocarbon group having an aromatic ring), but it is preferable that it does not have these groups.

[0118] Examples of silicones are: [In the formula, a represents an integer of 0 to 150, b represents an integer of 1 to 150, (a+b) is an integer of 5 to 200, and n is an integer of 1 to 36 (preferably n is a long-chain hydrocarbon group).]

[0119] Silicone can be synthesized by a conventionally known method, for example, by subjecting silicone having a SiH group to a hydrosilylation reaction with an α-olefin.

[0120] Examples of silicones containing SiH groups include methylhydrogensilicones with a degree of polymerization of 10 to 200, or copolymers of dimethylsiloxane and methylhydrogensiloxane. Among these, methylhydrogensilicones are preferred due to their ease of industrial production and availability. Hydrogensilicones (e.g., methylhydrogensilicones) are polydiorganosiloxanes in which a portion of the side chain is substituted with hydrogen, with the hydrogen atoms directly bonded to silicon atoms. When using hydrogensilicones, a catalyst may be used to improve reactivity. For example, zinc, tin, manganese, cobalt, iron, and amine-based catalysts can be used. Metal salts of organic acids are preferred as catalysts, and fatty acids are preferred as organic acids. From a safety perspective, zinc stearate or the like can be used. The catalyst is preferably used in an amount of 10 to 40% relative to the methylhydrogensilicone, as this enhances its effectiveness. Two or more of amino-modified, epoxy-modified, carboxy-modified, and methylhydrogensilicones may be mixed. All of these silicones have reactive groups, and film-forming properties are preferred. The term "film-forming ability" refers to the ability of the silicone to form a solid film, rather than an oil or gel film, after being attached to the surface of a fiber in an emulsion state.

[0121] α-olefins are compounds from which long-chain hydrocarbon groups in silicones are derived. Specific examples of α-olefins are 1-tricosene, 1-tetracosene, 1-hexacosene, 1-octacosene, 1-triacontene, and 1-dotriacontene. The hydrosilylation reaction may be carried out by reacting the α-olefin with the above-mentioned silicone having SiH groups in the presence of a catalyst, either stepwise or all at once.

[0122] The amounts of the SiH group-containing silicone and α-olefin used in the hydrosilylation reaction can be appropriately selected depending on the SiH group equivalent weight or number average molecular weight of the SiH group-containing silicone.

[0123] Examples of catalysts used in the hydrosilylation reaction include platinum and palladium compounds, with platinum compounds being preferred, such as platinum(IV) chloride.

[0124] The reaction conditions for the hydrosilylation reaction are not particularly limited and can be adjusted appropriately. The reaction temperature is, for example, 10 to 200°C, preferably 50 to 150°C. The reaction time can be, for example, 3 to 12 hours when the reaction temperature is 50 to 150°C. The hydrosilylation reaction is preferably carried out in an inert gas atmosphere. Examples of the inert gas include nitrogen and argon. The reaction proceeds even in the absence of a solvent, but a solvent may also be used. Examples of the solvent include dioxane, methyl isobutyl ketone, toluene, xylene, and butyl acetate.

[0125] (Reactive Silicone) The silicone may contain a reactive silicone. Examples of reactive silicones include polysiloxanes having reactive groups on the side chain, one end, both ends, or the side chain and both ends. From the viewpoint of achieving excellent slip resistance and excellent water repellency at the same time, polysiloxanes having reactive groups on the side chain and / or both ends may also be used. The reactive silicone is not particularly limited as long as it has a reactive group in the molecule, and examples include amino-modified silicone, epoxy-modified silicone, carboxy-modified silicone, and hydrogen-modified silicone. The reactive silicone may be one in which one or more substituents in the above formula (S1) or formula (S2) have been replaced with a reactive group.

One or a mixture of two or more of these silane compounds may be used.

[0136] Conventional methods can be used to hydrolyze silane compounds in water. These methods include adding the silane compound dropwise to water while the hydrolysis reaction is carried out, or mixing water and the silane compound together and then carrying out the hydrolysis reaction. A hydrolysis catalyst may be used when carrying out the hydrolysis reaction. Conventional catalysts can be used as the hydrolysis catalyst, and acidic or alkaline catalysts are preferred.

After the reaction is complete, a neutralizing agent may be added to neutralize the acidic or alkaline catalyst, if necessary.

[0137] A surfactant may be added to the aqueous solution to disperse the silane compound and the hydrolysis reaction product in water.

The amount of surfactant added is not particularly limited, but preferably 1 to 50 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the silane compound. Adding less than 1 part by weight of the surfactant will not fully achieve its intended effect, while adding more than 50 parts by weight may impair the water repellency of the water repellent agent.

[0138] A hydrolysis catalyst and surfactant may be added to a mixture of water and silane compound, if necessary, and the hydrolysis reaction may be carried out at 0 to 90°C for 10 minutes to 24 hours. A neutralization reaction may then be carried out as necessary to obtain a silicone resin. Furthermore, by-products such as alcohols and neutralized salts produced by the hydrolysis reaction may be removed by vacuum distillation or filtration.

The average primary particle diameter can be measured using a microscope (scanning electron microscope or transmission electron microscope). Specifically, an arbitrary position on the fabric is observed from above using a microscope at an arbitrary magnification. Next, if the particle shape is spherical, the diameter is considered to be the particle diameter (particle size), and if the particle shape is non-spherical, the average of the longest and shortest diameters is considered to be the particle size (particle size). The particle diameters of all particles present within the field of view are measured, and then the field of view is moved and the particle diameters are measured again.

Examples of preservatives include isothiazolone organic sulfur compounds, benzisothiazolone organic sulfur compounds, benzoic acids, and 2-bromo-2-nitro-1,3-propanediol. The amount of preservative is preferably 0.0001 to 1 mass% relative to the total weight of the water repellent composition. When the amount of preservative is equal to or greater than the lower limit of the above range, the effect of adding the preservative is sufficient, and when the amount is equal to or less than the upper limit, the storage stability of the water repellent composition is good.

[0202] (Ultraviolet Absorber) An ultraviolet absorber is a chemical agent that has the effect of protecting against ultraviolet rays, and is a component that absorbs ultraviolet rays and converts them into infrared rays, visible light, etc. Examples of ultraviolet absorbers include aminobenzoic acid derivatives, salicylic acid derivatives, cinnamic acid derivatives, benzophenone derivatives, azole compounds, and 4-t-butyl-4'-methoxybenzoylmethane.

Co. (1993), etc., each of which is incorporated herein by reference.

[0206] (Amount of Other Components) The amount of the other components may be 0.1 parts by mass or more, 1 part by mass or more, 3 parts by mass or more, 5 parts by mass or more, 10 parts by mass or more, 15 parts by mass or more, or 20 parts by mass or more, relative to 100 parts by mass of the polymer (A).

[0207] <Method for Producing Water Repellent Composition> The method for producing a water repellent composition may include polymerizing the monomer (a1) in the presence of the polyether-modified polydimethylsiloxane (B) to obtain the polymer (A). By such a method, the water repellent composition of the present disclosure can be obtained.

[0208] Examples of the polymerization method include suspension polymerization and emulsion polymerization, and emulsion polymerization is preferred from the viewpoint of obtaining an emulsion of the polymer (A).

[0209] When emulsion polymerization is employed, first, all or a portion of the monomer (a1) (and the monomer (a2) blended as needed), the polyether-modified polydimethylsiloxane (B), a surfactant, and a liquid medium are mixed to prepare a mixed liquid.

[0210] The surfactant may be added in an amount of, for example, 0.1 parts by mass or more, preferably 0.5 parts by mass or more, and for example, 10 parts by mass or less, preferably 5 parts by mass or less, relative to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the monomer (a1) (and the monomer (a2) added as needed).

[0211] The blending ratio of the liquid medium may be, for example, 100 parts by mass or more, preferably 150 parts by mass or more, and for example, 400 parts by mass or less, preferably 300 parts by mass or less, per 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the monomer (a1) (and the monomer (a2) blended as necessary). The liquid medium may be any of those listed above. For example, the liquid medium may be water. In emulsion polymerization, an organic solvent may further be added. The organic solvent may be any of the liquid media listed above. The organic solvent may be a water-soluble glycol solvent, for example, ethylene glycol or propylene glycol.

[0212] In emulsion polymerization, the organic acid listed above may be added. For example, the organic acid may be a carboxylic acid such as acetic acid. The organic acid may be, for example, 0.01 parts by mass or more, 0.1 parts by mass or more, or 1 part by mass or less, 0.5 parts by mass or less, relative to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the monomer (a1) (and the monomer (a2) blended as needed).

[0213] An emulsifier may then be added to this mixture.

[0214] Examples of the emulsifier include known emulsifiers, such as cationic emulsifiers and anionic emulsifiers.

[0215] The above-mentioned surfactants can also be used as the emulsifier.

[0216] The emulsifier may also contain a reactive emulsifier. When the emulsifier contains a reactive emulsifier, the polymer (A) is a polymer containing structural units derived from the reactive emulsifier.

[0217] If the polymer (A) is a polymer containing a structural unit derived from a reactive emulsifier, the product stability of the aqueous dispersion (repellent composition) is improved without reducing the water repellency.

[0218] The reactive emulsifier is a radically reactive emulsifying dispersant, i.e., an emulsifier having one or more polymerizable unsaturated groups in the molecule, and is copolymerizable with the above-mentioned monomer. Examples of the reactive emulsifier include the reactive emulsifiers described in JP 2017-25440 A.

[0219] If the reactive emulsifier is one of the reactive emulsifiers described above, the product stability of the aqueous dispersion (repellent composition) is improved without reducing the water repellency. Examples of the reactive emulsifiers described above include polyoxyethylene alkylphenols.

[0220] The emulsifiers can be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.

[0221] The blending ratio of the emulsifier may be, for example, 0.5 parts by mass or more and, for example, 10 parts by mass or less, relative to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the monomer (a1) (and the monomer (a2) blended as needed).

[0222] The blending ratio of the emulsifier may be, for example, 0.1% by weight or more and, for example, 5% by weight or less, relative to the water repellent composition.

[0223] After mixing the above-mentioned components, the mixture is stirred and subjected to ultrasonic waves to emulsify the mixture.

[0224] As a method for stirring, for example, a dispersing machine such as a homomixer, an ultrasonic homogenizer, a pressure homogenizer, a milder, or a porous membrane press-in dispersing machine is used, and preferably a homomixer is used.

[0225] Stirring conditions are appropriately set. When a homomixer is used, the rotation speed is set to, for example, 500 rpm or more and, for example, 10,000 rpm or less. The stirring time is, for example, 1 minute or more and, for example, 30 minutes or less, preferably 25 minutes or less. The stirring temperature is, for example, 50°C or more and, for example, 100°C or less.

[0226] Next, if a portion of the monomers was blended when preparing the above-mentioned mixed solution, the remaining portion of the above-mentioned monomers is blended into this mixed solution.

[0227] Next, a polymerization initiator is added to this mixture.

[0228] Examples of the polymerization initiator include azo compounds such as azobisisobutylamidine dihydrochloride and azobisisobutyronitrile; water-soluble polymerization initiators such as persulfates such as potassium persulfate and ammonium persulfate; and oil-soluble polymerization initiators such as organic peroxides such as benzoyl peroxide, di-t-butyl peroxide, lauryl peroxide, cumene hydroperoxide, t-butyl peroxypivalate and diisopropyl peroxydicarbonate, among which azo compounds are preferred, and azobisisobutyronitrile is more preferred.

[0229] The blending ratio of the polymerization initiator may be, for example, 0.01 parts by mass or more, for example, 10 parts by mass or less, relative to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the monomer (a1) (and the monomer (a2) blended as needed).

[0230] If necessary, a chain transfer agent can be added to this mixture.

[0231] Examples of the chain transfer agent include mercaptan group-containing compounds such as lauryl mercaptan, thioglycol, and thioglycerol (particularly alkyl mercaptans (e.g., having 1 to 30 carbon atoms)), and inorganic salts such as sodium hypophosphite and sodium hydrogen sulfite, and preferably lauryl mercaptan.

[0232] The blending ratio of the chain transfer agent may be, for example, 0.01 parts by mass or more and, for example, 10 parts by mass or less, relative to 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the monomer (a1) (and the monomer (a2) blended as needed).

[0233] Then, this mixture is heated to polymerize the monomers.

[0234] The heating conditions include a heating temperature of, for example, 40° C. or higher and, for example, 80° C. or lower, and a heating time of, for example, 1 hour or longer and, for example, 6 hours or shorter.

[0235] This produces an emulsion of the polymer (A), and a water repellent composition containing the polyether-modified polydimethylsiloxane (B) and the polymer (A) (emulsion).

[0236] <Applications of Water Repellent Composition> Examples of applications of the water repellent composition according to the present disclosure include an external treatment agent (surface treatment agent) or an internal treatment agent, a repellent (a water repellent, an oil repellent, or a water and oil repellent, etc., particularly a water repellent), an antifouling agent, a soil release agent, a stripping agent, a release agent (an external release agent or an internal release agent), and the like.

[0237] <Method for Producing Treated Product> The method for producing a treated product in the present disclosure includes a step of applying the water repellent composition of the present disclosure to a substrate.

[0238] [Treated Products] Substrates that can be treated with the water repellent composition of the present disclosure include textiles, stone, filters (e.g., electrostatic filters), dust masks, fuel cell components (e.g., gas diffusion electrodes and gas diffusion supports), glass, paper, wood, leather, fur, asbestos, brick, cement, metals and oxides, ceramic products, plastics, painted surfaces, and plaster. Various examples of textile products can be mentioned. Examples include natural fibers of animal and plant origin such as cotton, linen, wool, and silk; synthetic fibers such as polyamide, polyester, polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylonitrile, polyvinyl chloride, and polypropylene; semi-synthetic fibers such as rayon and acetate; inorganic fibers such as glass fiber, carbon fiber, and asbestos fiber; and mixtures thereof. Woven and knitted fabrics are described in detail below as an example of a substrate that can be treated with the water repellent composition.

[0239] (Woven / knitted fabric) - Manufacturing method of knitted / knitted fabric Woven / knitted fabrics can be obtained by weaving and knitting the mixed / entangled yarn to obtain a gray fabric, and then post-processing and water-repellent processing the same. The weaving and knitting can be performed using a known loom and knitting machine, and the preparation process prior to the weaving and knitting can also be performed using known equipment.

[0240] In the post-processing, the grey fabric is first scoured and relaxed. Scouring and relaxation can be carried out by a continuous or batch method at a temperature of 80 to 130°C. Usually, it is preferable to carry out the scour and relaxation by a batch method at 100°C or less, and it is particularly preferable to carry out the scour and relaxation using a high-pressure jet dyeing machine equipped with a jet nozzle.

[0241] After scouring and relaxing, the woven or knitted fabric is preset. Presetting is usually performed by dry heat treatment at 170 to 200°C for 30 to 120 seconds using a pin tenter. After presetting, the fabric is dyed in a conventional manner, and then subjected to final setting as necessary.

[0242] After the post-processing, the woven or knitted fabric may be subjected to a water-repellent treatment. In the water-repellent treatment, first, an aqueous solution containing a water repellent (which may be the water-repellent composition of the present disclosure) is prepared. Next, the aqueous solution is applied to the woven or knitted fabric after the post-processing using a padding method, a spray method, a kiss roll coater method, a slit coater method, or the like, and then dry heat treated at 105 to 190°C for 30 to 150 seconds. The aqueous solution may also contain a crosslinking agent, a softener, an antistatic agent, or the like, as necessary. After the water-repellent treatment, the woven or knitted fabric may be calendered to further improve the water-repellent performance.

[0243] The woven and knitted fabrics are suitably used for clothing applications, particularly for uniforms, ladies' wear, and sportswear.

[0244] The woven / knitted fabric of the present disclosure may be provided as a laminated fabric having a moisture-permeable waterproof layer on one side thereof. The moisture-permeable waterproof layer may be laminated directly onto the woven / knitted fabric, or may be laminated onto the woven / knitted fabric via an adhesive layer. When the laminated fabric of the present disclosure is used for clothing or the like, it is positioned so that the woven / knitted fabric side is exposed to rainwater or the like.

[0245] Moisture-permeable waterproof layer The moisture-permeable waterproof layer is a layer that covers one side of a woven or knitted fabric and is formed from a resin that has waterproof and moisture-permeable properties.

[0246] The moisture-permeable waterproof layer may be formed by applying a resin (the resin that constitutes the moisture-permeable waterproof layer) directly to the woven / knitted fabric, or may be laminated on one side of the woven / knitted fabric via an adhesive layer, which will be described later. In the present disclosure, a mixed fiber interlaced yarn having minute protrusions due to loops or slack is used in the woven / knitted fabric. Therefore, the protrusions are firmly entangled with the adhesive layer or the moisture-permeable waterproof layer, thereby creating an anchoring effect, making it even more difficult for the woven / knitted fabric and the moisture-permeable waterproof layer to peel off. If a normal woven / knitted fabric (a woven / knitted fabric in which the above-mentioned protrusions are not sufficiently maintained on the surface) is used, the anchoring effect may not be fully exerted, and in such cases, the woven / knitted fabric and the moisture-permeable waterproof layer tend to peel off easily.

[0247] The resin constituting the moisture-permeable waterproof layer is not particularly limited, but is preferably composed primarily of polyurethane resin, and preferably contains polyurethane resin in a proportion of 80% by mass or more. Polyurethane resins are generally suitable for forming resin layers that are moisture-permeable and waterproof. In particular, microporous types are preferred in terms of moisture permeability, but if the product is expected to be exposed to rain for long periods of time or to be used repeatedly through washing, etc., non-porous moisture-permeable urethane may be used instead of the microporous type.

[0248] As the polyurethane resin, a conventionally known resin obtained by reacting a polyisocyanate component with a polyol component can be used.

[0249] The moisture-permeable waterproof layer may have a microporous structure or a non-porous structure. When the moisture-permeable waterproof layer has a microporous structure, the layer may contain an inorganic fine powder to ensure the desired moisture permeability.

[0250] Examples of inorganic fine powders include fine powders made of silicon dioxide, aluminum dioxide, titanium dioxide, etc. The average primary particle size of the inorganic fine powder is preferably about 7 to 40 nm. The amount of inorganic fine powder is preferably 3 to 50 mass %, and more preferably 5 to 50 mass %, of the total amount of the moisture-permeable waterproof layer.

[0251] The thickness of the moisture-permeable waterproof layer is preferably 5 μm or more, and more preferably 10 to 30 μm. A thickness within this range provides an excellent balance between waterproofness and moisture permeability, and is also advantageous in terms of texture and tear strength.

[0252] Adhesive Layer The laminated fabric preferably includes an adhesive layer. That is, the woven / knitted fabric and the moisture-permeable waterproof layer are preferably laminated via an adhesive layer. The reason for this is described below. In the present disclosure, as described above, the woven / knitted fabric has minute protrusions on its surface due to loops or slack. Therefore, the protrusions are firmly entangled with the adhesive layer, which creates an anchor effect, making it even more difficult for the woven / knitted fabric and the moisture-permeable waterproof layer to peel off.

[0253] Furthermore, when a moisture-permeable waterproof layer is directly laminated to the above-mentioned woven or knitted fabric, for example, by a coating method, the protrusions on the surface of the woven or knitted fabric may penetrate the moisture-permeable waterproof layer, resulting in the formation of pinholes and reduced water resistance and strength. There is also a concern that the coating may not be uniform, resulting in uneven thickness of the moisture-permeable waterproof layer. If attempts are made to smooth the surface of the woven or knitted fabric by, for example, calendaring to prevent this, the protrusions or air-retaining layer may be reduced, resulting in reduced water repellency. Therefore, in the present disclosure, it is preferable to laminate the woven or knitted fabric and the moisture-permeable waterproof layer via an adhesive layer.

[0254] The type of adhesive that constitutes the adhesive layer is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that it is one that has excellent compatibility with the moisture-permeable waterproof layer. For example, if a resin containing polyurethane resin as the main component is selected as the resin that constitutes the moisture-permeable waterproof layer, it is preferable to use an adhesive layer made of a polyurethane-based adhesive. The polyurethane-based adhesive may be any of ether-based, ester-based, polycarbonate-based, etc., but from the viewpoint of imparting excellent moisture permeability, an ether-based adhesive is preferable.

[0255] The adhesive layer may be formed over the entire surface of one side of the woven or knitted fabric, or may be formed in a pattern from the viewpoint of moisture permeability, texture, etc. The pattern shape is not particularly limited, but examples include dots, lines, a grid, a checkerboard pattern, a tortoiseshell pattern, etc., and it is preferable that any of these patterns be uniformly arranged over the entire surface.

[0256] The thickness of the adhesive layer is preferably about 10 to 100 μm, more preferably 20 to 80 μm. If the thickness is less than 10 μm, it is difficult to obtain a durable laminated fabric even if the adhesive occupies a large area, and if it exceeds 100 μm, not only will the manufacturing cost increase but further adhesiveness will also tend to be difficult to expect, so neither is preferable.

[0257] - Lining fiber fabric In the laminated fabric of the present disclosure, a lining fiber fabric may be laminated on the moisture-permeable waterproof layer (on the side of the moisture-permeable waterproof layer opposite to the side on which the woven or knitted fabric of the present disclosure is laminated). The lining fiber fabric can protect the moisture-permeable waterproof layer, thereby achieving even better waterproofness (water pressure resistance) and strength. Furthermore, laminating the lining fiber fabric can suppress elongation of the entire laminated fabric, thereby suppressing reduction of the protruding portions of the mixed fiber composite yarn that would otherwise be pulled by elongation of the woven or knitted fabric due to tension during the finishing process after lamination or when worn, and thereby maintaining the above-mentioned water repellency at a higher level. Furthermore, laminating the lining fiber fabric can further improve water repellency.

[0258] Examples of lining fiber fabrics include various woven and knitted fabrics. Knitted fabrics are particularly suitable because, compared to woven fabrics, the constituent yarns tend to protrude from the surface, resulting in an uneven surface, and the knitted fabric exhibits a stronger anchoring effect, making it less likely to peel from the moisture-permeable waterproof layer. Tricot knitted fabrics are particularly preferred because they have less stretchability than knitted fabrics with other structures, preventing excessively large stitch gaps and enabling more effective water repellency. Tricot knitted fabrics are also preferred because they can be knitted to produce long gray fabrics with fewer seams, allowing them to be evenly layered on the moisture-permeable waterproof layer.

[0259] The material of the fibers constituting the lining fiber fabric is not particularly limited and can be selected as appropriate, but nylon fiber is preferred. This is because acid dyes are generally used in nylon fibers, which makes it less likely for the disperse dye to migrate and sublimate into the moisture-permeable waterproof layer, a problem that occurs with polyester fibers, etc., which use disperse dyes. The form (long fiber, short fiber, or spun yarn) or fineness of the fibers constituting the lining fiber fabric is not particularly limited and can be selected as appropriate as long as the effects of the present disclosure are not impaired.

[0260] Characteristics of the Laminated Fabric The laminated fabric has excellent waterproofness. A suitable example of the waterproofness of the laminated fabric of the present disclosure is a water level measured according to the water resistance test specified in JIS L 1092:2009 Method A (low water pressure method) of, for example, 10,000 mm or more, preferably 15,000 mm or more, more preferably 16,000 mm or more, and particularly preferably 20,000 mm or more. The upper limit of the water level is not particularly limited, but examples thereof include 50,000 mm or 25,000 mm.

[0261] The laminated fabric has excellent moisture permeability. A preferred example of the moisture permeability of the laminated fabric of the present disclosure is a moisture permeability of, for example, 10,000 g / m2, as measured in accordance with JIS L 1099:2012 B-1 method (potassium acetate method). 2 24 hours or more, preferably 15,000 g / m 2 24 hours or more, more preferably 20,000 g / m 2 The upper limit of the moisture permeability is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 40,000 g / m 2 24h or 35,000g / m 2 ・24h・mm is an example.

[0262] In the laminated fabric, delamination between the woven / knitted fabric and the moisture-permeable waterproof layer is suppressed. In the laminated fabric of the present disclosure, a suitable example of the peel strength between the woven / knitted fabric and the moisture-permeable waterproof layer is, for example, 5 N / 2.54 cm or more, preferably 5 to 50 N / 2.54 cm, more preferably 6 to 30 N / 2.54 cm, and particularly preferably 9 to 25 N / 2.54 cm, as measured according to the method of JIS L 1089. To achieve the peel strength within the above range, for example, a woven / knitted fabric that has not been subjected to calendering may be used, or an adhesive layer may be provided.

[0263] - Manufacturing method of laminated fabric There are no particular limitations on the manufacturing method of the laminated fabric, and examples include the first manufacturing method and the second manufacturing method shown below. First manufacturing method: Includes a step of forming the moisture-permeable waterproof layer by applying a resin that constitutes the moisture-permeable waterproof layer to the surface of a woven or knitted fabric. Second manufacturing method: Includes a step of forming an adhesive layer on the woven or knitted fabric or the moisture-permeable waterproof layer, and a step of bonding the woven or knitted fabric and the moisture-permeable waterproof layer via the adhesive layer.

[0264] It is preferable that the woven / knitted fabric used in the laminated fabric (i.e., the woven / knitted fabric of the present disclosure described above) maintain protrusions on the fabric surface as much as possible. For example, if the woven / knitted fabric is subjected to a calendering process to facilitate coating or other processes, the fine protrusions of the mixed / entangled yarns are crushed to form a flat surface, which may prevent a specific water droplet rolling angle from being achieved. Furthermore, if the calendering process is performed, the air retention layer described above may not be sufficiently maintained, and the desired water repellency may not be achieved. Therefore, it is preferable to carefully consider the calendering conditions. For example, when calendering a woven / knitted fabric, normal conditions (e.g., a temperature of 130°C or higher and a linear pressure of 200 to 20,000 N / cm) may be used so as not to excessively reduce the protrusions of the mixed / entangled yarns. Calendering may also be performed without heating.

[0265] In the first manufacturing method, the resin that constitutes the moisture-permeable waterproof layer can be applied to the surface of the woven or knitted fabric by, for example, a coating method. A knife coater or a comma coater can be used in the coating method. From the viewpoint of providing excellent moisture permeability, it is preferable to obtain the moisture-permeable waterproof layer by a wet method.

[0266] In the second manufacturing method, examples of the method for forming an adhesive layer on a woven or knitted fabric or a moisture-permeable waterproof layer include a lamination method. In the lamination method, a resin solution or a hot melt method can be used to form the adhesive layer. First, a moisture-permeable waterproof layer-forming resin composition (e.g., a resin composition containing a resin and an organic solvent) is applied to the surface of a release material (such as release paper, release cloth, or release film) with a clearance, and a moisture-permeable waterproof layer is formed while adjusting the thickness, followed by heat treatment to completely react the layer and obtain a film. The release material can be removed as appropriate after lamination or aging.

[0267] An adhesive layer is then formed on the woven or knitted fabric or the moisture-permeable waterproof layer. For example, in the case of a method using a resin solution, a two-component curing polyurethane resin solution adjusted to a viscosity in the range of 500 to 5,000 mPa·s may be applied to the entire surface or in a pattern. The resulting solution is then dried to form an adhesive layer, and the woven or knitted fabric and the moisture-permeable waterproof layer are bonded together via the adhesive layer, and the two are then pressure-bonded or thermocompression-bonded, thereby completing the second manufacturing method.

[0268] On the other hand, in the case of hot melt, it is preferable to use a moisture-curing resin that reacts with moisture in the air, and in practice, it is more preferable to use one that melts in a temperature range of about 80 to 150°C. In this case, the hot melt resin is first melted while taking into consideration the melting point of the resin and its viscosity when melted. The molten resin is then applied to the woven or knitted fabric or the moisture-permeable waterproof layer and allowed to mature while cooling at room temperature to form an adhesive layer. The woven or knitted fabric and the moisture-permeable waterproof layer are then bonded together via the adhesive layer and pressure-bonded, thereby completing the second manufacturing method.

[0269] It is preferable to adopt the second manufacturing method as the manufacturing method. This is because, when a moisture-permeable waterproof layer is laminated using a coating method, there is a concern that pinholes will occur in the moisture-permeable waterproof layer due to fine protrusions on the surface of the woven or knitted fabric, which will tend to reduce water pressure resistance. Furthermore, when a woven or knitted fabric is subjected to a calendering process in an attempt to form a uniform moisture-permeable waterproof layer, there is a concern that the protrusions or air retaining layer will be reduced and the desired water repellency will not be achieved. Furthermore, since careful examination of the calendering conditions is required separately, the process itself may become complicated.

[0270] Thereafter, a lining fiber fabric can be laminated on the moisture-permeable waterproof layer using any known appropriate method.

[0271] - Uses of laminated fabrics The laminated fabrics have excellent water repellency and breathable waterproof properties, and the breathable waterproof layer does not peel off even in harsh environments, making them suitable for use in fields such as uniforms, sportswear, and outdoor products used outdoors.

[0272] [Treatment Method] The water repellent composition of the present disclosure can be applied to a substrate as a treatment agent (particularly a surface treatment agent) by a conventionally known method. The water repellent composition of the present disclosure may be dispersed and diluted in an organic solvent or water, if necessary, and applied to the surface of the substrate by a known method such as dip coating, spray coating, foam coating, or the like, followed by drying. After drying, a textile product is obtained to which the solid components of the water repellent composition are attached. If necessary, the composition may be applied together with an appropriate crosslinking agent and cured. Furthermore, the water repellent composition of the present disclosure may be used in combination with various additives such as water and / or oil repellents, antislip agents, antistatic agents, texture modifiers, softeners, antibacterial agents, flame retardants, paint fixatives, wrinkle inhibitors, drying speed modifiers, crosslinking agents, film-forming aids, compatibilizers, antifreeze agents, viscosity modifiers, UV absorbers, antioxidants, pH adjusters, insect repellents, and antifoaming agents. Examples of the various additives may be the same as those described above under "Other Components" for the water repellent composition. The concentration of the polymer (A) in the treating agent to be brought into contact with the substrate may be varied appropriately depending on the application, but may be 0.01 to 10% by mass, for example 0.05 to 5% by mass.

[0273] The pulp base material can be treated by an internal treatment method in which a repellent is added to pulp before papermaking (e.g., pulp slurry), or an external treatment method in which a repellent is applied to pulp after papermaking (e.g., pulp product). Examples of internal treatment methods include mixing, immersion, etc., and may include a step of adding a repellent to pulp slurry and stirring and mixing. Examples of external treatment methods include spraying, application, etc., and specific examples include pond-type two-roll size presses, gate roll-type, and rod metering size presses. The treatment may be an external treatment or an internal treatment. For example, when the pulp base material is paper, the repellent may be coated on the paper, or the solution may be attached or sprayed on the paper, or the repellent may be mixed with the pulp slurry before papermaking.

[0274] [Textile Products] Various examples of textile products serving as substrates include cloth products and paper products. Textile products serving as substrates are also called fiber substrates.

[0275] Examples of textile products include natural fibers of animal or plant origin such as cotton, linen, wool, silk, etc., synthetic fibers such as polyamide, polyester, polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylonitrile, polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, etc., semi-synthetic fibers such as rayon, acetate, etc., inorganic fibers such as glass fiber, carbon fiber, asbestos fiber, etc., or mixtures of these fibers. Textile products include woven fabrics, knitted fabrics, nonwoven fabrics, clothing fabrics, and carpets, but the treatment may also be applied to fibers, yarns, and intermediate textile products (for example, slivers or rovings) in a state prior to being made into textiles.

[0276] Examples of paper products include paper made from bleached or unbleached chemical pulp such as kraft pulp or sulfite pulp, bleached or unbleached high-yield pulp such as groundwood pulp, mechanical pulp or thermomechanical pulp, recycled paper pulp such as recycled newspaper, recycled magazine paper, recycled corrugated cardboard or deinked recycled paper, paper containers, paper molded articles, etc. Specific examples of paper products include food packaging paper, gypsum board base paper, coated base paper, medium-quality paper, general liners and corrugating mediums, neutral white roll paper, neutral liners, rust-proof liners and metal interleaving paper, kraft paper, neutral printing and writing paper, neutral coated base paper, neutral PPC paper, neutral thermal paper, neutral pressure-sensitive base paper, neutral inkjet paper and neutral information paper, molded paper (molded containers), etc.

[0277] The water repellent composition can be applied to a textile by any of the known methods for treating textiles (e.g., fabrics) with a liquid. The textile may be immersed in the water repellent composition, or the solution may be applied or sprayed onto the textile. The treated textile is preferably dried and cured by heating to develop water repellency. The heating temperature may be, for example, 80 to 250°C, 100 to 170°C, or 100 to 120°C. In the present disclosure, good performance can be obtained even with low-temperature heating (e.g., 100 to 140°C). In the present disclosure, the heating time may be 5 seconds to 60 minutes, for example, 30 seconds to 3 minutes.

[0278] Alternatively, the water repellent composition may be applied to the textile by a cleaning method, such as by laundering or by dry cleaning.

[0279] The treated textile may be fabric, including woven fabric, knitted fabric, and nonwoven fabric, clothing fabric, carpet, etc., but may also be fiber or yarn or intermediate textile (e.g., sliver or roving, etc.). The water repellent composition of the present disclosure is particularly effective in making textiles (e.g., synthetic fibers) water repellent.

[0280] The fibers constituting the textile product may be natural fibers, synthetic fibers, semi-synthetic fibers, regenerated fibers or inorganic fibers. The fibers may be used alone or in combination of two or more types.

[0281] Examples of natural fibers include cellulosic fibers such as cotton, flax, and pulp, chitin, chitosan, wool, and silk. Specific examples of wood pulp include mechanical pulps such as ground wood pulp (GP), pressure-raised ground wood pulp (PGW), and thermomechanical pulp (TMP), chemical pulps such as high-yield unbleached softwood kraft pulp (HNKP; N wood), bleached softwood kraft pulp (NBKP; N wood, NB wood), unbleached hardwood kraft pulp (LUKP; L wood), and bleached hardwood kraft pulp (LBKP, L wood), recycled paper pulps such as deinking pulp (DIP) and waste pulp (WP), and semi-chemical pulp (CP).

[0282] Examples of synthetic fibers include polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polytrimethylene terephthalate, and copolymer polyester; polyolefins such as linear low-density polyethylene, low-density polyethylene, high-density polyethylene, and polypropylene; polyamides such as nylon 6, nylon 66, nylon 610, and nylon 46; acrylic fibers such as polyacrylonitrile; polyvinyl alcohol, polyurethane, and polyvinyl chloride. Examples of semi-synthetic fibers include acetate and triacetate. Examples of regenerated fibers include rayon, cupra, polynosic rayon, lyocell, and Tencel. Examples of inorganic fibers include glass fiber and carbon fiber.

[0283] Alternatively, the textile may be leather. The manufacturing polymer may be applied to the leather from an aqueous solution or emulsion at various stages of leather processing, for example, during the wet processing of the leather or during the finishing of the leather, to render the leather hydrophobic and oleophobic. Alternatively, the textile may be paper. The manufacturing polymer may be applied to preformed paper or may be applied at various stages of papermaking, for example, during the drying of the paper.

[0284] "Treatment" means applying the water repellent composition to a substrate by immersion, spraying, coating, or the like. The treatment allows the polymer (A) and polyether-modified polydimethylsiloxane (B), which are the active ingredients of the water repellent composition, to penetrate into the substrate and / or adhere to the surface of the substrate. In other words, the treatment results in a substrate (e.g., a textile product) to which the polymer (A) and polyether-modified polydimethylsiloxane (B) in the water repellent composition of the present disclosure are adhered.

[0285] [Pretreatment of Textile Products] The textile product may be pretreated before being treated with the water repellent composition of the present disclosure. Pretreatment of the textile product can impart excellent fastness to the textile product after treatment with the water repellent composition.

[0286] Examples of pretreatments for textile products include cationization treatment by reaction with a reactive quaternary ammonium salt, anionization treatment such as sulfonation, carboxylation, and phosphate, acetylation treatment after anionization treatment, benzoylation treatment, carboxymethylation treatment, grafting treatment, tannic acid treatment, and polymer coating treatment.

[0287] The method for pretreating a textile product is not limited, and the textile product can be pretreated by a conventionally known method. The pretreatment liquid may be dispersed and diluted in an organic solvent or water as necessary, and applied to the surface of the textile product by a known method such as dip coating, spray coating, foam coating, etc., followed by drying. The pH and temperature of the pretreatment liquid may be adjusted depending on the desired degree of treatment. As an example of a method for pretreating a textile product, a method for pretreating a textile product with a hydrocarbon-based water repellent will be described in detail.

[0288] The pretreatment method for textile products is to add -SO ３ M １ (In the formula, M １ represents a monovalent cation), ２ (In the formula, M ２ represents a monovalent cation), and —O—P(O)(OX １ ) (OX ２ ) (wherein, X １ and X ２and each independently represent a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 22 carbon atoms) (hereinafter, also referred to as a "specific functional group").

[0289] M １ Examples of M include H, K, Na, and ammonium ions which may have a substituent. ２ Examples of X include H, K, Na, and ammonium ions which may have a substituent. １ or X ２ When is an alkyl group, it is preferably an alkyl group having 1 to 22 carbon atoms, and more preferably an alkyl group having 4 to 12 carbon atoms.

[0290] Fibers containing the specific functional groups (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "functional group-containing fibers") can be prepared, for example, by the following methods: (i) A compound having the specific functional groups is attached to a fiber material. The attachment of the compound may be in a state where a portion of the compound is chemically bonded to a portion of the fiber, to the extent that a sufficient amount of the specific functional groups remains. (ii) Fibers are prepared in which the specific functional groups are directly introduced into the material that constitutes the fiber.

[0291] In the case of (i), for example, functional group-containing fibers can be obtained by a functional group introduction step in which a fiber material is treated with a pretreatment liquid containing one or more compounds having the above-mentioned specific functional groups.

[0292] The raw material of the fiber material is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include natural fibers such as cotton, linen, silk, and wool, semi-synthetic fibers such as rayon and acetate, synthetic fibers such as polyamide (nylon, etc.), polyester, polyurethane, and polypropylene, and composite fibers and blended fibers thereof. The form of the fiber material may be any of fibers (tow, sliver, etc.), yarn, knitted fabric (including interwoven fabric), woven fabric (including interwoven fabric), nonwoven fabric, paper, etc.

[0293] In this embodiment, from the viewpoint of improving the water repellency of the resulting textile product, it is preferable to use a textile material containing polyamide and polyester as raw materials, and it is particularly preferable to use nylons such as nylon 6 and nylon 6,6, polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polytrimethyl terephthalate and polylactic acid, and mixed fibers containing these.

[0294] Above -SO ３ M １ A phenolic polymer can be used as the compound having the formula:

[0033] Such a phenolic polymer can be, for example, one containing at least one compound represented by the following general formula:

[0295] [In formula (2), X ２ Ha-SO ３ M ３ (In the formula, M ３ represents a monovalent cation) or a group represented by the following general formula, and n is an integer of 20 to 3000.

[0296] [In the formula, M ４ represents a monovalent cation.

[0298] The above M ４ Examples of the cation include H, K, Na, and an ammonium ion which may have a substituent.

[0299] The compound represented by the above general formula may be, for example, a formalin condensate of phenolsulfonic acid or a formalin condensate of sulfonated bisphenol S.

[0300] Above - COOM ２ Examples of compounds having the formula include polycarboxylic acid polymers.

[0301] As the polycarboxylic acid polymer, for example, a polymer synthesized by a conventionally known radical polymerization method using acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, maleic acid, or the like as a monomer, or a commercially available product can be used.

[0302] Examples of methods for producing polycarboxylic acid polymers include adding a radical polymerization initiator to an aqueous solution of the above-mentioned monomer and / or its salt and heating the mixture at 30 to 150°C for 2 to 5 hours. At this time, an alcohol such as methanol, ethanol, or isopropyl alcohol, or an aqueous solvent such as acetone, may be added to the aqueous solution of the above-mentioned monomer and / or its salt. Examples of radical polymerization initiators include persulfates such as potassium persulfate, sodium persulfate, and ammonium persulfate; redox-based polymerization initiators such as combinations of persulfates and sodium bisulfite; hydrogen peroxide; and water-soluble azo-based polymerization initiators. These radical polymerization initiators may be used alone or in combination. Furthermore, during radical polymerization, a chain transfer agent (e.g., octyl thioglycolate) may be added to adjust the degree of polymerization.

[0303] In addition to the above-mentioned monomers, copolymerizable monomers can be used for radical polymerization. Examples of copolymerizable monomers include vinyl monomers such as ethylene, vinyl chloride, and vinyl acetate, acrylamide, acrylates, and methacrylates. Preferred acrylates and methacrylates have a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms which may have a substituent such as a hydroxyl group. Examples of such acrylates or methacrylates include methyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, ethyl acrylate, ethyl methacrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, propyl acrylate, and propyl methacrylate. These copolymerizable monomers may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0304] The carboxyl group in the polycarboxylic acid polymer may be free or may be neutralized with an alkali metal, an amine compound, etc. Examples of the alkali metal include sodium, potassium, and lithium, and examples of the amine compound include ammonia, monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, and triethanolamine.

[0305] The weight average molecular weight of the polycarboxylic acid polymer is preferably from 1,000 to 20,000, more preferably from 3,000 to 15,000, from the viewpoint of improving the water repellency of the resulting textile product.

[0306] As the polycarboxylic acid polymer, commercially available products such as "Neocrystal 770" (trade name, manufactured by Nicca Chemical Co., Ltd.) and "Ceropol PC-300" (trade name, manufactured by Sanyo Chemical Industries, Ltd.) can be used.

[0307] The above -O-P(O)(OX １ ) (OX ２ ) may be exemplified by phosphate ester compounds represented by the following general formula: [In the formula, X １ or X ２ is as defined above, and X ３ represents an alkyl group having 1 to 22 carbon atoms.

[0308] As the phosphate ester compound, phosphate monoesters, diesters and triesters, in which the alkyl ester moiety is an alkyl group having 1 to 22 carbon atoms, and mixtures thereof can be used.

[0309] From the viewpoint of improving the water repellency of the resulting textile product, it is preferable to use lauryl phosphate and decyl phosphate.

[0310] As the phosphate ester compound, for example, commercially available products such as "Phosphanol ML-200" (trade name, manufactured by Toho Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) can be used.

[0311] The pretreatment liquid containing one or more compounds having the specific functional group may be, for example, an aqueous solution of the compounds described above. The pretreatment liquid may also contain an acid, an alkali, a surfactant, a chelating agent, etc.

[0312] Methods for treating textile materials with the pretreatment liquid include, for example, padding, immersion, spraying, and coating. Examples of padding include methods using padding devices described on pages 396-397 of "Textile Dyeing and Processing Dictionary" (published by Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun, 1963) and pages 256-260 of "Color Dyeing Chemistry III" (published by Jikkyo Publishing Co., Ltd., 1975). Examples of coating include methods using coating machines described on pages 473-477 of "Dyeing and Finishing Equipment Directory" (published by Sen-sha, 1981). Examples of immersion include methods using batch dyeing machines described on pages 196-247 of "Dyeing and Finishing Equipment Directory" (published by Sen-sha, 1981). These machines include jet dyeing machines, air jet dyeing machines, drum dyeing machines, winch dyeing machines, washer dyeing machines, and cheese dyeing machines. Examples of spray treatment include air spraying, in which the treatment liquid is atomized using compressed air, and methods using a hydraulic atomization air spray. The treatment conditions, such as the concentration of the treatment liquid and the heat treatment after application, can be adjusted appropriately, taking into account various conditions, such as the purpose and performance. Furthermore, when the pretreatment liquid contains water, it is preferable to dry the pretreatment liquid after application to remove the water. The drying method is not particularly limited, and may be either a dry heat method or a wet heat method. The drying temperature is also not particularly limited, and may be, for example, drying at room temperature to 200°C for 10 seconds to several days. If necessary, heat treatment at a temperature of 100 to 180°C for 10 seconds to 5 minutes may be performed after drying.

[0313] When the textile material is to be dyed, the treatment with the pretreatment liquid may be carried out before dyeing or in the same bath as the dyeing. However, when reduction soaping is carried out, there is a risk that the compound having the specific functional group (e.g., a phenolic polymer compound) adsorbed during the treatment may fall off, so it is preferable to carry out the treatment after reduction soaping after dyeing.

[0314] The treatment temperature in the immersion treatment can be 60 to 130° C. The treatment time can be 5 to 60 minutes.

[0315] In the functional group introduction step using a pretreatment liquid, the amount of the compound having the specific functional group attached is preferably 1.0 to 7.0 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the textile material. Within this range, durable water repellency and texture can both be achieved at high levels.

[0316] The pH of the pretreatment liquid is preferably adjusted to 3 to 5. The pH can be adjusted using a pH adjuster such as acetic acid or malic acid.

[0317] The pretreatment solution may contain a salt to effectively adsorb the compound having the specific functional group onto the fiber material through a salting-out effect. Examples of salts that can be used include sodium chloride, sodium carbonate, ammonium sulfate, and sodium sulfate.

[0318] In the functional group introduction step using a pretreatment liquid, it is preferable to remove the compound having the specific functional group that has been treated in excess. An example of a removal method is washing with water. By performing sufficient removal, it is possible to prevent the development of water repellency in the subsequent water repellent treatment from being hindered, and in addition, the feel of the resulting textile product is improved. Furthermore, it is preferable to thoroughly dry the resulting functional group-containing fiber before contacting it with a hydrocarbon-based water repellent.

[0319] (ii) An example of a fiber in which the specific functional group is directly introduced into the material that constitutes the fiber is cationic dyeable polyester (CD-PET).

[0320] From the viewpoint of improving the water repellency of the resulting textile product, the functional group-containing fiber preferably has a surface zeta potential of −100 to −0.1 mV, more preferably −50 to −1 mV. The zeta potential of the fiber surface can be measured, for example, using a zeta potential / particle size measurement system ELSZ-1000ZS (manufactured by Otsuka Electronics Co., Ltd.).

[0321] Although the embodiments have been described above, it will be understood that various changes in form and details can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the claims.

[0322] Examples of the present disclosure will be specifically described below, but the present disclosure is not limited to these examples.

[0323] [Water repellency test] The water repellency of the treated test fabric was evaluated according to the spray method of JIS-L-1092 (AATCC-22). The water repellency was evaluated according to the following criteria. The higher the score, the better the water repellency.

[0324] 100 No wetting or water droplets were observed on the surface. 90 No wetting on the surface, but small water droplets were observed. 80 Small individual water droplets were observed on the surface. 70 Wetting was observed on half of the surface, and small individual wetting was observed penetrating the fabric. 50 Wetting was observed on the entire surface. 0 Wetting was observed on both the front and back surfaces.

[0325] [Slip resistance] The test fabric was subjected to a warp slippage test at a load of 160 N in accordance with ISO 13936-2, and seam slippage (mm) was measured. The smaller the seam slippage value, the better the slip resistance.

[0326] [Chalk mark resistance] Each test cloth was placed on a flat surface, and the surface of the test cloth was lightly scratched with a fingernail. The chalk-like scratch marks left by the fingernail were visually evaluated. The evaluation criteria are as follows. The results are shown in Table 5. ○: Almost no mark is visible ○△: The mark is faintly visible △: The mark is visible △×: The mark is slightly darkly visible ×: The mark is darkly visible

[0327] [Preparation of Raw Materials] (Production Example of Acrylic Polymer-Containing Aqueous Dispersion) Production Example 1: In a 500 ml plastic container, 17 g of water-soluble glycol solvent as organic solvent, 110 g of pure water as liquid medium, 60 g of stearyl acrylate as long-chain aliphatic hydrocarbon group-containing (meth)acrylate, 0.6 g of cationic emulsifier, 1 g of sorbitan fatty acid ester, and 4.4 g of polyoxyethylene alkyl ether as surfactants were charged, heated to 80 ° C, stirred for 1 minute at 2000 rpm with a homomixer, and then emulsified and dispersed for 15 minutes with ultrasound. Then, this emulsified dispersion was transferred to a 500 cc four-neck flask equipped with a nitrogen inlet tube, a thermometer, a stirring rod, and a reflux condenser. After nitrogen substitution, 0.1 g of lauryl mercaptan was charged and stirred, and then 0.6 g of azo group-containing water-soluble initiator was added, and the mixture was heated to 60 ° C and reacted for 4 hours to obtain an aqueous dispersion of a polymer.
