The textile coating compositions may include benzoic acid and at least one of terephthalic acid, and/or a quat silane.
1. An antimicrobial and/or anti-odor, textile coating composition that reduces and/or prevents microbial growth and/or controls odor(s) on a textile material, the textile coating composition comprising:
(a) from 1.3 weight % to 9 weight % benzoic acid, based on the total weight of the composition; and
(b) terephthalic acid;
wherein the benzoic acid and the terephthalic acid are present in the composition at a ratio of 2:1 to 8:1.
2. The antimicrobial and/or anti-odor, textile coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein the textile coating composition comprises water from 90 weight % to 98 weight % based on the total weight of the composition.
3. The antimicrobial and/or anti-odor, textile coating composition according to claim 2 , wherein the textile coating composition further comprises a dispersant from 0.1 weight % to 2 weight % to aid in dispersing the textile coating composition.
4. The antimicrobial and/or anti-odor, textile coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein the benzoic acid is present from 1.5 weight % to 8.5 weight % based on the total weight of the composition.
5. The antimicrobial and/or anti-odor, textile coating composition according claim 1 , wherein the terephthalic acid is present from 0.2 weight % to 3.5 weight % based on the total weight of the composition.
6. The antimicrobial and/or anti-odor, textile coating composition according to claim 1 , wherein the terephthalic acid is present from 0.3 weight % to 2.0 weight % based on the total weight of the composition.
