Patent ID: 8530601

Claim:
A textile treated with a composition comprising the reaction product of a) an oxirane or oxetane compound comprising at least two oxirane or oxetane groups; and b) an amino silane having the formula: N(H)(R 1 )R 2 Si(OR 3 ) 3-a-b-c (OR 4 ) a (R 5 Si(OR 6 ) d (R 7 ) e ) b R 8 c with R 1 is chosen from the group consisting of H or a monovalent hydrocarbon radical containing one to 20 carbon atoms; R 2 is selected from a group consisting of a divalent linear or branched hydrocarbon radical consisting of 1-60 carbons; R 4 is a hydrocarbon radical that contains 3 to 200 carbon atoms; R 5 is selected from a group consisting of oxygen or a divalent linear or branched hydrocarbon radical consisting of 1-60 carbons; R 3 , R 6 , R 7 , and R 8 and are each independently selected from the group of monovalent linear or branched hydrocarbon radicals having from 1 to 200 carbon atoms; a positive number and has a value ranging from 0 to 3; the subscripts a, and c are zero and b is equal to 3; the subscripts d and e are zero or positive and have a value ranging from 0 to 3 subject to the limitation that (d+e) is equal to 3, wherein said textile has an enhanced response to water.
