Definitions for "Fluorochemical"
Low surface energy technology used as a soil-resistance treatment for carpet. The DuraTech® treatment by INVISTA is used on all carpets made of Antron® nylon. DuraTech® attaches to the chemical structure of the fiber after being heated during the finishing step to protect the carpet from soiling. Foot Traffic Units One foot traffic unit is described as a pedestrian walking across a measured section of carpet, one time. Foot traffic is classified as follows: Light: less than 50/day Moderate: 50–200/day Heavy: 200–2000/day Extra Heavy: more than 2000/day See individual traffic rating for details. Frames Racks at back of a Wilton loom that hold spools from which yarns are fed into the loom. Each frame holds separate colors, i.e., a three-frame Wilton has three colors in the design.
A fluorinated surfactant which, through its ability to lower the surface tension of liquid, can improve the leveling and wetting characteristics of floor polishes.
