Description

Surface treatment composition, water- and oil-repellent textile product, and method for producing the same

[0001] The present invention relates to a surface treatment agent composition, a water- and oil-repellent textile product, and a method for producing the same.

[0002] Fluorine-based surface treatment agents having fluorine groups and textile products whose surfaces are imparted with water and oil repellency by treating the textile products with such fluorine-based surface treatment agents have been known. Such fluorine-based surface treatment agents are generally produced by homopolymerizing or copolymerizing a monomer having a fluoroalkyl group. Although textile products treated with the fluorine-based surface treatment agents exhibit excellent water and oil repellency, the monomer having a fluoroalkyl group is difficult to decompose, which poses environmental problems.

[0003] Therefore, in recent years, research has been conducted on non-fluorine-based water repellents that do not contain fluorine. Patent Document 1 describes a water repellent that contains at least one component selected from a urethane compound, an acrylic resin, and a reactive silicone, a silicone resin, and water.

[0027] The carbinol-modified silicone may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0028] When the surface treatment agent composition of this embodiment is used as a treatment bath (for example, a treatment bath for treating fibers), the amount of the carbinol-modified silicone in the treatment bath can be 0.01 to 1 mass % based on the total amount of the surface treatment agent composition. Furthermore, during distribution, the amount of the carbinol-modified silicone in the treatment bath can be 0.1 to 50 mass %, or even 0.2 to 20 mass %, based on the total amount of the surface treatment agent composition.

[0029] From the viewpoints of durable water repellency, peel strength, and seam slippage resistance, the blending amounts of the silicone resin and the carbinol-modified silicone may be 50 to 25,000 parts by mass, 100 to 10,000 parts by mass, 100 to 25,000 parts by mass, 300 to 25,000 parts by mass, or 500 to 25,000 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the carbinol-modified silicone.

[0030] <Other Modified Silicones> In one aspect, the surface treatment agent composition of the present embodiment may further contain a modified silicone other than the carbinol-modified silicone (i.e., a modified silicone not having a carbinol group). Examples of the modified silicone include polysiloxanes having reactive groups at the side chain and / or at the terminals, and from the viewpoint of excellent durable water repellency and peel strength, polysiloxanes having reactive groups at the side chain and / or at both terminals are preferred. The modified silicone is not particularly limited as long as it has a reactive group in the molecule, and examples thereof include epoxy-modified silicone, carboxy-modified silicone, and methylhydrogen silicone.

[0031] Epoxy-modified silicones include those having a structure in which an epoxy group is bonded to an organic group directly bonded to a silicon atom. The organic group may be an alkylene group, a divalent aromatic group, or a cycloaliphatic group. The alkylene group preferably has 1 to 10 carbon atoms. The divalent aromatic group preferably has 6 to 18 carbon atoms. The cycloaliphatic group is preferably a cycloaliphatic group having 4 to 12 carbon atoms. The epoxy group and the organic group are usually bonded in the form of a glycidyl ether. Examples of such functional groups include a 3-glycidoxypropyl group and a 2-glycidoxyethyl group. These functional groups may be present on the side chain or at the terminal of the polysiloxane.

[0032] Examples of carboxy-modified silicones include those having a structure in which a carboxy group is bonded to an organic group directly bonded to a silicon atom. The organic group may be an alkylene group or a divalent aromatic group. The alkylene group preferably has 2 to 18 carbon atoms. The divalent aromatic group preferably has 6 to 18 carbon atoms. Examples of such functional groups include a 3-carboxypropyl group and a 2-carboxyethyl group. These functional groups may be present on the side chain or at the terminal of the polysiloxane.

[0033] Methyl hydrogen silicone is a polydiorganosiloxane in which some of the side chains have been replaced with hydrogen, with the hydrogen atoms directly bonded to silicon atoms. When using methyl hydrogen silicone, a catalyst may be used to improve reactivity. For example, zinc, tin, manganese, cobalt, iron, and amine-based catalysts can be used. Organic acid metal salts are preferred as these catalysts, and fatty acids are preferred as organic acids. From the perspective of safety, zinc stearate can be used. It is preferable to use 1 to 40% by mass of the catalyst relative to the methyl hydrogen silicone, as this facilitates its effectiveness.

[0034] Since epoxy-modified silicone, carboxy-modified silicone, and methyl hydrogen silicone are all silicones having reactive groups, two or more of them may be mixed. Silicones having reactive groups preferably have film-forming properties. Film-forming properties refer to the formation of a solid film, rather than an oily or gel-like film, at 80°C to 200°C after the silicone is attached to the fiber surface in an emulsion state.

[0035] <Hydrophobic Organic Solvent> In one aspect, the surface treatment agent composition of the present embodiment may further contain a hydrophobic organic solvent for which the amount of water required to dissolve 1 g of the organic solvent at 20°C is greater than 10 mL. In one aspect, the amount of water required to dissolve 1 g of the organic solvent is greater than 30 mL, preferably greater than 100 mL, and more preferably greater than 1000 mL. Such a hydrophobic organic solvent contributes to the formation of an emulsion dispersion in which the silicone resin is stably emulsified and dispersed, and thus contributes to the formation of a surface treatment agent composition with excellent product stability and processing stability. In the present disclosure, an emulsion dispersion (sometimes simply referred to as dispersion) or emulsion dispersion means that a liquid is present in an emulsified state and / or a solid is present in a dispersed state in a liquid medium. In one aspect, an organic solvent for which the amount of water required to dissolve 1 g of the organic solvent at 20°C is greater than 10 mL is thought to contribute to improving water and oil repellency by improving the film-forming properties of the silicone compound, which is the water and oil repellent component, on fibers. The amount of water required to dissolve 1 g of the organic solvent is a value measured in accordance with JIS K8001:2017 using the method described in the Examples section of this disclosure.

[0036] Without being bound by theory, it is speculated that when a silicone resin is emulsified and dispersed in a water-containing medium to form an emulsified dispersion or a surface treatment agent composition, the hydrophobic organic solvent of the present embodiment promotes O / W emulsified dispersion of the silicone resin, thereby contributing to improved emulsion dispersion stability of the silicone resin in the water-containing medium.

[0037] Organic solvents that require more than 10 mL of water to dissolve 1 g of the organic solvent at 20°C preferably have a structure composed of carbon and hydrogen (i.e., a hydrocarbon structure) in the molecule, in order to provide a good effect of improving the emulsion dispersion stability of silicone resins. From this perspective, preferred hydrophobic organic solvents include, for example, esters (specific examples include 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol monoisobutyrate, 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol diisobutyrate, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, butyl glycol acetate, etc.), ketones (specific examples include methyl isobutyl ketone), ethers (specific examples include dibutyl diglycol, diethylene glycol mono-2-ethylhexyl ether, ethylene glycol monohexyl ether, diethylene glycol monohexyl ether, ethyl methyl ... The hydrophobic organic solvent may be, for example, propylene glycol mono-2-ethylhexyl ether, dipropylene glycol monopropyl ether, dipropylene glycol monobutyl ether, etc.), alcohols (specific examples include 1-butanol, 1-pentanol, isooctanol, etc.), aromatic solvents (specific examples include toluene, o-xylene, m-xylene, p-xylene, mesitylene, etc.), or petroleum solvents (specific examples include isoparaffin, mineral oil, mineral spirits, synthetic oils such as poly-α-olefins, etc.), and these hydrophobic organic solvents may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

Examples of such isoparaffins include IP Solvent IP-2028 (isoparaffin having 10 to 16 carbon atoms, manufactured by Idemitsu Kosan Co., Ltd.) and Macazol R (isododecane, manufactured by Maruzen Petrochemical Co., Ltd.).

[0039] As the mineral oil, a kinematic viscosity of 50 mm at 30°C is used. 2Examples of suitable mineral oils include mineral oils with a kinematic viscosity of 1 / s or less, more specifically normal undecane, normal dodecane, normal tridecane, normal tetradecane, paraffin, etc. The kinematic viscosity is a value measured according to JIS K 2283:2000. The paraffin may have, for example, 10 to 16 carbon atoms. The mineral oils may be used alone or in combination of two or more. When two or more types are combined, it is preferable that they are mutually compatible. The mineral oil may be a commercially available product, such as Cactus Normal Paraffin N-12D, Cactus Normal Paraffin YHNP, or Cactus Normal Paraffin N-14 (all available from ENEOS Corporation).

[0040] As an organic solvent that requires more than 10 mL of water to dissolve 1 g of the organic solvent at 20°C, particularly mineral spirits, those with a boiling point of 130 to 230°C are particularly preferred.

[0041] In the surface treatment agent composition, the amount of organic solvent in which the amount of water required to dissolve 1 g of organic solvent at 20°C exceeds 10 mL is preferably 10 to 500 parts by mass, more preferably 20 to 400 parts by mass, and even more preferably 30 to 300 parts by mass, relative to 100 parts by mass of the silicone resin. The amount of the hydrophobic organic solvent is preferably within the above range in terms of the product stability over time and processing stability of the surface treatment agent composition.

[0042] <Emulsifier> In one aspect, the surface treatment agent composition of the present embodiment may further contain an emulsifier. In one aspect, the emulsifier may be a surfactant.

[0077] <Alkylpolysiloxane> The surface treatment agent composition of the present embodiment contains an alkylpolysiloxane as a surface treatment component. In one aspect, the alkylpolysiloxane of the present embodiment has a kinematic viscosity at 25°C of 2 mm 2 The alkylpolysiloxane that can be contained in the surface treatment agent composition as a solvent (for example, a solvent for a silicone resin) has a kinematic viscosity of 2 mm / s at 25°C. 2 / s or less.

[0078] The alkyl polysiloxane of this embodiment is nonvolatile. Whether an alkyl polysiloxane is nonvolatile or volatile can be distinguished as follows. A nonvolatile alkyl polysiloxane is one in which 1 g of the alkyl polysiloxane is spread in a 48 mm diameter glass petri dish and left at 25°C and normal pressure for 24 hours, after which the mass loss rate is 1% or less, and the alkyl polysiloxane is liquid or has plasticity at room temperature (25°C). Having plasticity means that the plasticity can be measured in accordance with JIS K 6249, and the plasticity is defined as the value (unit: mm) when a load of 1 kgf is applied to a 4.2 g spherical sample at 25°C for 3 minutes. Furthermore, a linear or cyclic alkyl polysiloxane having a siloxane polymerization degree of 10 or more exhibits nonvolatility. On the other hand, linear or cyclic alkylpolysiloxanes having a siloxane polymerization degree of less than 10, particularly 7 or less, are volatile at room temperature and are therefore preferably used as part of a solvent rather than as the alkylpolysiloxane of the surface treatment component of this embodiment. In one aspect, volatile silicones having a siloxane polymerization degree of less than 10 are explicitly excluded from the scope of alkylpolysiloxanes as the surface treatment component of this embodiment.

[0079] In one embodiment, the alkyl polysiloxane used as the surface treatment component is a compound in which the side chain and terminal of a chain organo polysiloxane are saturated hydrocarbon groups, or a compound in which the side chain of a cyclic organo polysiloxane is saturated hydrocarbon groups. Examples of such alkyl polysiloxanes include those represented by the following general formula (8):

[0082] In the compound represented by the general formula (8) used in this embodiment, R 13 , R 14 , R 15 , R 16 , R 17 , and R 18 are each independently a monovalent saturated hydrocarbon group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms. The number of carbon atoms in this saturated hydrocarbon group is preferably 1 to 10, from the viewpoints of facilitating the dissolution of silicone resin in the compound represented by general formula (8) and facilitating the acquisition of the compound. The saturated hydrocarbon group may be linear or branched. The saturated hydrocarbon group is preferably linear, and more preferably a linear alkyl group. The saturated hydrocarbon group is preferably a methyl group or an ethyl group, and more preferably a methyl group. v is a value that indicates that the compound represented by general formula (8) is nonvolatile and has a kinematic viscosity of 2 mm 2 / s, for example, can be appropriately selected so as to fall within the range of the kinematic viscosity described below. From the viewpoint of making the alkylpolysiloxane non-volatile, v is preferably 3 or more, or 5 or more. Note that a compound in which v in formula (8) is a number that makes the compound represented by formula (8) volatile can be used as a solvent for a silicone resin, etc. Use of a volatile polysiloxane may improve the stability of the system. However, such a volatile alkylpolysiloxane is not used in defining the parts by mass, mass ratio, etc. of the alkylpolysiloxane as a surface treatment component in this embodiment.

[0083] Examples of the compound represented by the general formula (8) include nonvolatile dimethylpolysiloxane and diethylpolysiloxane.

[0084] In the compound represented by the general formula (9) used in this embodiment, R 19 and R 20are each independently a monovalent saturated hydrocarbon group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms. The number of carbon atoms in this saturated hydrocarbon group is preferably 1 to 10. When the number of carbon atoms in the saturated hydrocarbon group is within the above range, silicone resins tend to dissolve easily in the compound represented by general formula (9), and the compound tends to be easily available. The saturated hydrocarbon group may be linear or branched. The saturated hydrocarbon group is preferably linear, and a linear alkyl group is more preferred. The saturated hydrocarbon group is preferably a methyl group or an ethyl group, and a methyl group is more preferred. w is a number that renders the compound represented by general formula (9) nonvolatile. w is preferably in the range of 10 to 1,000, or in the range of 20 to 1,000. Note that alkylpolysiloxanes in which w is a number that renders the compound represented by general formula (9) volatile, such as low-degree-of-polymerization, volatile alkylpolysiloxanes in which w is in the range of 2 to 10, particularly 4 or 5, can be used as solvents for silicone resins. Such cyclic and volatile alkylpolysiloxanes tend to be easy to obtain and dissolve silicone resins, and can be suitably used in this embodiment.

[0085] w is the number at which the compound represented by general formula (9) becomes volatile, and examples of compounds suitable as solvents for silicone resins include decamethylcyclopentasiloxane and octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane. However, as mentioned above, these are not used to define the mass ratio, etc., of the "alkylpolysiloxane" in this embodiment.

[0087] The alkylpolysiloxane of this embodiment is preferably liquid at 25° C.

When the kinematic viscosity at 25°C is within the above range, the silicone resin tends to dissolve easily in the alkylpolysiloxane, and workability tends to be easily ensured. In this disclosure, the kinematic viscosity at 25°C means the value measured by the method described in JIS K 2283:2000 (Ubbelohde viscometer). 2 Although alkyl polysiloxanes having a molecular weight of 1 / s or less are not used in defining the mass ratio, etc., of the alkyl polysiloxane of this embodiment, they can be used as a solvent for the silicone resin in the system, etc. By using a volatile cyclic or chain alkyl polysiloxane in combination, it may be possible to improve the handling and workability of the silicone resin, etc., and the stability of the system.

[0178] A method for producing the above-mentioned fluorine-free acrylic polymer will now be described.

[0179] The fluorine-free acrylic polymer can be produced by radical polymerization. Among these radical polymerization methods, emulsion polymerization or dispersion polymerization is preferred from the viewpoints of the performance of the resulting surface treatment agent and the environment.

[0180] For example, a non-fluorinated acrylic polymer can be obtained by emulsion polymerization or dispersion polymerization of a (meth)acrylic acid ester monomer (A) represented by the above general formula (A-1) in a medium. More specifically, for example, component (A) and, if necessary, components (B), (C), (D), and (E), as well as an emulsifying aid or dispersing aid, are added to a medium, and the resulting mixture is emulsified or dispersed to obtain an emulsion or dispersion. A polymerization initiator is added to the resulting emulsion or dispersion to initiate a polymerization reaction, thereby polymerizing the monomer and reactive emulsifier. Examples of means for emulsifying or dispersing the above-mentioned mixture include a homomixer, a high-pressure emulsifier, and ultrasound.

[0181] The emulsifying aid or dispersing aid (hereinafter also referred to as "emulsifying aid, etc.") can be one or more selected from nonionic surfactants other than the reactive emulsifier (B), cationic surfactants, anionic surfactants, and amphoteric surfactants. The content of the emulsifying aid, etc., is preferably 0.5 to 30 parts by mass, more preferably 1 to 20 parts by mass, and even more preferably 1 to 10 parts by mass, relative to 100 parts by mass of all monomers. When the content of the emulsifying aid, etc., is 0.5 parts by mass or more, the dispersion stability of the mixed liquid tends to be further improved, and when the content of the emulsifying aid, etc., is 30 parts by mass or less, the water repellency of the resulting surface treatment agent composition tends to be further improved.

[0182] The medium for emulsion polymerization or dispersion polymerization is preferably water, and water may be mixed with an organic solvent as needed. Examples of the organic solvent include alcohols such as methanol and ethanol, esters such as ethyl acetate, ketones such as acetone and methyl ethyl ketone, ethers such as diethyl ether, and glycols such as propylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, and tripropylene glycol. The ratio of water to the organic solvent is not particularly limited.

[0183] As the polymerization initiator, known polymerization initiators such as azo-based, peroxide-based, or redox-based initiators can be used as appropriate. The content of the polymerization initiator is preferably 0.01 to 2 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of all monomers. When the content of the polymerization initiator is within the above range, a non-fluorine-containing acrylic polymer having a weight-average molecular weight of 10,000 or more and 100,000 or more can be efficiently produced.

[0184] In the polymerization reaction, a chain transfer agent such as dodecyl mercaptan or t-butyl alcohol may be used for the purpose of adjusting the molecular weight.

[0205] <<Method for Producing Surface Treatment Agent Composition>> This embodiment also provides a method for producing the surface treatment agent composition of this embodiment. The surface treatment agent composition of this embodiment can be produced by emulsifying and dispersing the components described above for the composition. For example, it can be obtained by dissolving a silicone resin and a carbinol-modified silicone in an organic solvent, and then emulsifying and dispersing using an emulsifier and an aqueous medium (emulsified dispersion of silicone resin and carbinol-modified silicone). In one aspect, there is provided a method for producing a surface treatment agent composition, which includes mixing a silicone resin (A), a carbinol-modified silicone (B), and a hydrophobic organic solvent. In another aspect, there is provided a method for producing a surface treatment agent composition, which includes mixing a silicone resin (A), a carbinol-modified silicone (B), and an alkylpolysiloxane.

[0206] Alternatively, the silicone resin can be dissolved in an organic solvent with heating, and then the carbinol-modified silicone and alkylpolysiloxane are added and stirred to achieve a uniform mixture. This method is suitable for applications that are difficult to handle with aqueous systems, such as hard surfaces other than textiles, paper, and cardboard.

[0207] When the surface treatment agent composition contains at least one selected from the group consisting of alkyl polysiloxanes, non-fluorine-based acrylic polymers, and polyfunctional isocyanates, the surface treatment agent composition can be obtained by dissolving a silicone resin; a carbinol-modified silicone; and at least one selected from alkyl polysiloxanes, non-fluorine-based acrylic polymers, and polyfunctional isocyanates in an organic solvent, and then emulsifying and dispersing the mixture using an emulsifier and an aqueous medium.

[0208] When the surface treatment agent composition contains at least one selected from the group consisting of alkyl polysiloxanes, non-fluorine-based acrylic polymers, and polyfunctional isocyanates, it may be a one-component type in which a silicone resin, a carbinol-modified silicone, and at least one selected from the group consisting of alkyl polysiloxanes, non-fluorine-based acrylic polymers, and polyfunctional isocyanates are pre-mixed. Alternatively, it may be a two-component type, a three-component type, a four-component type, or the like, in which, for example, an emulsified dispersion of a silicone resin and a carbinol-modified silicone and an emulsified dispersion obtained by dissolving at least one selected from the group consisting of alkyl polysiloxanes, non-fluorine-based acrylic polymers, and polyfunctional isocyanates in an organic solvent and then emulsifying and dispersing the resulting mixture using an emulsifier and an aqueous medium. These may be mixed to form a surface treatment agent composition, or may be further subjected to treatment with a high-pressure homogenizer or the like to form a surface treatment agent composition. From the viewpoint of ease of handling, the surface treatment agent composition of this embodiment is preferably a one-component or two-component type.

[0209] A method for dispersing each of the above components in an aqueous medium can be, for example, mixing and stirring each component, the organic solvent of this embodiment, the aqueous medium of this embodiment, and the emulsifier of this embodiment. When mixing and stirring, a conventionally known emulsifying disperser such as a Milder, a high-speed mixer, a homogenizer, an ultrasonic homogenizer, a homomixer, a bead mill, a pearl mill, a Dyno Mill, an Aspek Mill, a basket mill, a ball mill, a Nanomizer, an Ultimizer, or a Starburst may be used. These emulsifying dispersers can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0210] As the aqueous medium, various organic solvents exemplified in the above section <Aqueous Medium> can be used. The aqueous medium may be contained in the surface treatment agent composition as a mixed solvent with water.

[0211] The dispersion may further contain a surfactant from the viewpoint of dispersion stability. Such surfactants are not particularly limited as long as they can improve emulsion dispersion stability, and examples thereof include known nonionic surfactants, anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, etc. These surfactants may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0212] The surface treatment agent composition in the form of the dispersion may be used as a treatment liquid as is, or may be further diluted with an aqueous medium or a hydrophobic organic solvent to form a treatment liquid. In one embodiment, the surface treatment agent composition or treatment liquid may contain, for example, 0.5 to 80% by mass, or 1 to 50% by mass, or 1.5 to 45% by mass of the silicone resin, carbinol-modified silicone, and alkylpolysiloxane in total. The treatment liquid may contain, for example, 0.1 to 5.0% by mass, or 0.2 to 3.0% by mass, or 0.3 to 2.0% by mass of the polyfunctional isocyanate and other crosslinking agents in total.

[0213] Substrates that can be used in the present disclosure may be made of any suitable material, such as glass, resin (which may be a natural or synthetic resin, for example, a common plastic material), metal, ceramics, semiconductors (silicon, germanium, etc.), fibers (woven fabrics, nonwoven fabrics, etc.), fur, leather, wood, ceramics, stone, etc., building materials, etc., sanitary products, etc.

[0214] <Water- and Oil-Repellent Textile Product and Manufacturing Method Thereof> The present embodiment further provides a water- and oil-repellent textile product and a manufacturing method thereof. In one aspect, a water- and oil-repellent textile product is provided, which has a textile product and the surface treatment agent composition of the present embodiment adhered to the textile product. In one aspect, the water- and oil-repellent textile product of the present embodiment can be manufactured by a method including a step of treating the textile product with a treatment liquid containing the surface treatment agent composition of the present embodiment described above. In one aspect, the water- and oil-repellent textile product is obtained by treating a textile product with the surface treatment agent composition of the present embodiment (i.e., by water- and oil-repellent treatment). In one aspect, the water- and oil-repellent textile product contains the silicone resin and carbinol-modified silicone described above as components of the surface treatment agent composition, and optionally further contains one or more of the hydrophobic organic solvent, alkylpolysiloxane, polyfunctional isocyanate, and other components described above as components of the surface treatment agent composition.

[0215] 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 nylon, polyester, polyurethane, and polypropylene, and composite fibers and blended fibers thereof. The fiber may be in the form of any of yarn, cloth, nonwoven fabric, paper, and the like. The fiber may also be a textile product.

[0216] Examples of methods for treating fibers with a treatment liquid containing the surface treatment agent composition of this embodiment include, for example, a method for treating fibers in a one-step process using a treatment liquid containing a silicone resin, a carbinol-modified silicone, and at least one selected from the group consisting of an alkylpolysiloxane, a non-fluorine-containing acrylic polymer, and a polyfunctional isocyanate when the surface treatment agent composition contains a silicone resin, a carbinol-modified silicone, and at least one selected from the group consisting of an alkylpolysiloxane, a non-fluorine-containing acrylic polymer, and a polyfunctional isocyanate, and a method for treating fibers in a two-step process, a three-step process, a four-step process, or a five-step process using a treatment liquid containing at least one of the above components and a treatment liquid containing at least one other component. When treating in two to five steps, the order in which the respective components are treated does not matter.

[0217] Examples of methods for treating fibers with the treatment liquid include immersion, spraying, coating, etc. When the surface treatment agent composition contains water, it is preferable to dry the fiber after it has been applied to the fiber to remove the water.

[0218] The amount of the surface treatment composition of this embodiment that is attached to the fiber can be adjusted appropriately depending on the required level of water repellency, but it is preferably adjusted so that the amount of the surface treatment composition that is attached (in one embodiment, the total amount of silicone resin, carbinol-modified silicone, and alkylpolysiloxane attached) is 0.1 to 5 g, and more preferably 0.1 to 3 g, per 100 g of fiber. If the amount of the surface treatment composition that is attached is less than 0.1 g, the fiber tends not to exhibit sufficient water repellency, and if it exceeds 5 g, it tends to be economically disadvantageous. The amount of attachment can be confirmed, for example, by a method of solvent extraction from a textile product.

[0219] After the surface treatment composition of the present embodiment is applied to the fiber, it is preferable to appropriately perform a heat treatment. The temperature conditions are not particularly limited, but from the viewpoints of water repellency, durable water repellency, and texture, it is preferable to perform the heat treatment at 110 to 180°C for 1 to 5 minutes.

[0220] The water- and oil-repellent textile product of the present embodiment exhibits excellent water repellency and a soft texture, and is therefore suitable for textile applications such as clothing and non-clothing applications, such as down coverings, coats, blousons, windbreakers, blouses, dress shirts, skirts, slacks, gloves, hats, futon coverings, futon drying rack covers, curtains, and tents.
