Direct fluorination has been shown to impart moisture-transport, soil-release, and soil-antiredeposition properties to polyester material. These properties do not have the limitations associated with previous treatments such as stability, washfastness, and/or reproducibility. It is believed that the improved properties of polyester can be attributed to an increase in acidity and to the addition of fluorine to the polymer backbone. The direct fluorination treatment is unaffected by dyeing, heat setting, or ultraviolet light.
