Abstract

Soiling degree and cleanability of well-characterized polyester textile materials treated with different soil release polymers (SRP) have been systematically investigated. It was shown that soil removal considered in terms of soiling additional density (SAD) strongly depends on the kind of textile materials investigated. The influence of textiles surface properties such as the degree of hydrophobicity and topographical structure on spreading of water before and after the treatment with SRP was quantified, as well.
