A polymer for imparting repellency and stain resistance to substrates is
disclosed of Formula 1:
(W).sub.a(R.sup.2).sub.bSi(R.sup.1).sub.2--O--[Si(R.sup.1).sub.2--O].sub.-
n--[Si(W).sub.c(R.sup.1).sub.d(R.sup.2).sub.e--O].sub.m--Si(R.sup.1).sub.2-
--(W).sub.f(R.sup.2).sub.g 1 wherein: a, b, c, d, e, f and g are each
independently 0 or 1, provided that (a+b) is 1, (f+g) is 1, and (c+d+e)
is 2, each R.sup.1 is a C.sub.1 to C.sub.8 alkyl, each R.sup.2 is
independently H or C.sub.1 to C.sub.8 alkyl, optionally containing
oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur, or a combination thereof, and n=0 to 500,
m=1 to 100, each W is independently (R.sub.f--X--A--X).sub.p--Y--X--
wherein: R.sub.f is a straight or branched perfluoroalkyl group having
from about 2 to about 20 carbon atoms, or a mixture thereof, which is
optionally interrupted by at least one oxygen atom, each X is
independently an organic divalent linking group having from about 1 to
about 20 carbon atoms, optionally containing oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur,
or a combination thereof, A is a 1,2,3-triazole, p=1 to 2, Y is O, N, or
NR wherein R is H or C.sub.1 to C.sub.20 alkyl, optionally containing
oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur, or a combination thereof.
