Antistatic Effect of Surfactants on Poly-propylene Fibres

Abstract

Antistatic effect of surfactants on poly-propylene fibres was studied by the method, measuring the electric resistance of the fibres lubricated with several typical surfactants.
Alkyl-phosphates, quaternary ammonium type cationics and betain type amphoterics were superior to any other nonionics in the antistatic effect, i.e., in practical effects such as stability for change of temperature and humidity, and in the heat-setting property and others.
