摘要：

The present invention is directed to a copolymer capable of forming a water- and oil-repellent agent that enables binding to textiles and other materials without the production of formaldehyde. The copolymer according to the present invention comprises a) a fluoroaliphatic radical-containing agent, (b) stearyl (meth)acrylate; (c) a chlorine-containing compound; and (d) a monomer selected from those that contain an anhydride functional group or are capable of forming an anhydride functional group. The present invention further provides a water and oil repellency-imparting composition for fibrous and other substrates, the composition comprising the above copolymer together with a catalyst, such as sodium hypophosphite, for forming anhydrides from the acid-containing monomers in the copolymer. The composition can further optionally comprise other additives such as, for example, poly(acrylic acid); an extender, a softener; an antioxidant; a surfactant; and/or a plasticizer.
