Abstract:
A finishing composition for improving the thermal stability of polypropylene textile materials; comprising, an ethoxylated textile lubricant, in an amount sufficient to impart lubricating properties to said composition, and an antistatic agent comprising phosphate esters, in an amount sufficient to impart antistatic properties to said composition and increase the thermal stability of said polypropylene textile materials. Also disclosed is a process for utilizing the finishing composition and the products thereof.
Abstract:
Degradation-resistant polyolefin articles, such as fibers, films, sheets and the like, are prepared from polymeric compositions containing a stabilizing system comprising a hindered amine and a metal phosphonate which have been overcoated with a finish comprising an ethoxylated lubricant and a phosphate ester. In a preferred embodiment, polypropylene textile materials having improved thermal stability are provided compositions containing a stabilizing system comprising a hindered amine and a nickel phosphonate which have been overcoated with a finish composition comprising an ethoxylated lubricant and a phosphate ester in an amount sufficient to impart antistatic properties to said composition and increase the thermal stability of said polypropylene textile materials.
