Stain resistant composition comprises a hyperbranched polymer having
pendent olefinic groups and comprising polymer units derived from one or
more terminally-unsaturated, acyclic aliphatic diene and polymer units
derived from maleic anhydride. Optionally, the hyperbranched polymer may
further comprise polymer units derived from one or more 1-alkenes and/or
a chain transfer agent. A method to provide stain resistance to a
substrate comprises applying the stain resistant composition to said
substrate. Suitable substrates include textiles and hard surfaces.
