摘要:
Lubricants and processing aids for thermoplastic synthetic fibers, particularly polyester and nylon fibers are disclosed together with processes therefor. Said lubricants comprise compounds having the structural formula: ##STR1## in which R and R.sub.1 are independently selected from straight or branched chain aliphatic radicals having about 7 to about 22 carbon atoms; A is oxyethylene or a heteric mixture of oxyethylene and oxypropylene residues derived from the reaction of ethylene oxide and 1,2-propylene oxide in the respective ratio by weight of about 3:7 to about 9:1; and n has a value to produce a compound having a molecular weight of about 300 to about 3000. Said compounds are the ethoxylated or alkoxylated reaction product of the reaction product of an alpha-olefin epoxide and a fatty alcohol.Where liquid products are desired which contain the higher numbered carbon chain residues, low viscosity compounds can be obtained by oxyalkylating the intermediate obtained by reacting an alpha-olefin epoxide with a fatty alcohol using an ethylene oxide and 1,2-propylene oxide mixture in the respective ratio as set forth above. By properly balancing the carbon chain length of the R and R.sub.1 groups in the lubricant compounds with the oxyethylene or oxyalkylene ratio, variation between insoluble and soluble products can be obtained.

摘要:
Lubricants, or processing aids, for synthetic fibers, particularly polyester and nylon fibers and most particularly for polyester fibers, are disclosed comprising a capped heteric polyoxyalkylene monoester having the formula: ##STR1## in which R is an aliphatic group having about 7 to about 22 carbon atoms; A is a mixture of oxyethylene and oxypropylene residues derived from the reaction of ethylene oxide and 1,2-propylene oxide in the respective ratio by weight of 3:7 to 4:1; n has a value to produce a molecular weight of about 300 to about 3000 and R' is derived from a monofunctional compound containing an OH group, preferably a monofunctional aryl alcohol or a monofunctional alkyl or arylalkyl alcohol, all having 1 to about 21 carbons in the alkyl chain.Certain embodiments of the invention are particularly suited by their low viscosity for application to synthetic textile fibers or yarn without dilution in water. Unexpectedly, the fiber lubricants, or processing aids, of the invention volatilize without leaving a residue when they contact heated metal surfaces during the fiber processing operation and are characterized by smoke points of 160.degree. C. or above.
