A water- and oil-repellent agent is produced by subjecting (a) a
polyfluoroalkyl group-containing (meth)acrylate and (b) a fluorine
atom-free polymerizable monomer to an emulsification treatment in the
presence of (c) a polyethylene oxide adduct type, cationic surfactant, or
both of the cationic surfactant and a polyethylene oxide adduct type,
non-ionic surfactant, and (d) a glycol-based compound, followed by
copolymerization reaction in the presence of a polymerization initiator,
and admixing the resulting aqueous dispersion with (e) a blocked
isocyanate, and gives a satisfactory water and oil repellency to not only
synthetic fibers, but also natural fibers, and also has a distinguished
washing durability.
