Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 20
Claim 1
Independent Claim 161 words
Method of treating a material selected from the group consisting of leather, textiles, and cellulosics in order to provide enhanced water and oil repellancy thereto comprising the step of applying to said material a composition comprising a compound represented by the formula: R.sub.f --Q--A wherein R f represents a member selected from the group consisting of ##STR14## n represents a positive integer from 3 to 20, inclusive, R represents an alkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R 1 represents an alkylene radical having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, R 2 represents an alkylene radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, A represents a hydrocarbon group having from 5 to 36 carbon atoms, said hydrocarbon group having at least one unsaturated site, said hydrocarbon group optionally being substituted with a hydroxyl group or a carboxyl group, Q represents a member selected from the group consisting of ##STR15## wherein T represents an aliphatic group, a cycloaliphatic group, or an aromatic group.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 161 words
Method of treating a material selected from the group consisting of leather, textiles, and cellulosics in order to provide enhanced water and oil repellancy thereto comprising the step of applying to said material a composition comprising a compound represented by the formula: R.sub.f --Q--A wherein R f represents a member selected from the group consisting of ##STR14## n represents a positive integer from 3 to 20, inclusive, R represents an alkyl radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R 1 represents an alkylene radical having 1 to 12 carbon atoms, R 2 represents an alkylene radical having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, A represents a hydrocarbon group having from 5 to 36 carbon atoms, said hydrocarbon group having at least one unsaturated site, said hydrocarbon group optionally being substituted with a hydroxyl group or a carboxyl group, Q represents a member selected from the group consisting of ##STR15## wherein T represents an aliphatic group, a cycloaliphatic group, or an aromatic group.
