Finish for textile fibers containing silahydrocarbon lubricants and nonionic emulsifiers having a plurality of hydrocarbon chains

摘要

A fiber finish composition, which may be applied as an aqueous emulsion, is provided having: (a) from 50 to 95 parts by weight of a silahydrocarbon lubricant; (b) from 5 to 50 parts by weight of an emulsifier selected from: (i) ethoxylated C12-C36 branched alcohols; (ii) alkoxylated polyhydric alcohols having at least 3 hydroxyl sites which are esterified with C12-C36 fatty acids; (iii) alkoxylated glycerol esters of C12-C36 fatty acids having at least one hydroxyl functionality; (c) up to 10 parts by weight of an ionic emulsifier; and (d) up to 5 parts by weight of an antisling additive.
