Fig. 3 shows the water and oil repellency grades of traditionally coated samples of acrylic fabric (without plasma pretreatment) after 0, 1, 3, 5 and 10 accelerated laundry cycles. With respect to the chemical pick-up, the performances of unwashed fabrics (zero cycles) decrease when the CPU decreases; the aqueous repellency grade, as well as the oil one, is maximum for the higher CPU. These values decrease with the number of laundry cycles and the collapse of performance is amplified when the CPU is reduced. In particular, it is noticed that 1% of CPU records values close to the 2%, while 0.5% starts with a quite effective grade but is quickly affected by the washing action. As for 0.1%, performances collapse rapidly, demonstrating that a minimum level of coating has to be reached to guarantee a satisfactory repellency behavior.
