The present invention provides a water-repellent agent composition which contains a
polymer (A) having a repeating unit that is derived from a
silicon-containing
monomer represented by formula CH2=C(-Ra)-X-SiZ3 (in the formula, Ra represents a
hydrogen atom or a
hydrocarbon group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, X represents a
divalent group that is composed of one or more selected from the group consisting of X1 and X2, X1 represents a group that is composed of one or more selected from the group consisting of -O-, -C(=O)-, and -NR'- (wherein each R' independently represents a
hydrogen atom or a
hydrocarbon group having 1 to 30 carbon atoms), X2 represents a
divalent aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 1 to 40 carbon atoms, each Z independently represents a
hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms or –(O-SiZ1 2)n-O-SiZ2 3, each Z1 independently represents a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms or -OSiZ11 3, each Z11 independently represents a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms or -OSiZ111 3, each Z111 independently represents a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, each Z2 independently represents a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms or -OSiZ21 3, each Z21 independently represents a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms or -OSiZ211 3, each Z211 independently represents a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and each n independently represents an integer of 0 to 196) and a dispersant (B), wherein: the
polymer (A) contains the repeating unit that is derived from the
silicon-containing
monomer in an amount of 90% by weight or more based on the weight of the
polymer (A); and polymer (A) has a number average molecular weight of 60,000 to 4,000,000 inclusive. The water-repellent agent composition is capable of imparting both good water repellency and good
slip resistance to a base material (particularly, a
fiber product).
