I-Iydrophobietextile fibers tendto accumulate electrostatic charges due to. their poor, electrical conductivity.
' This accumulation of electrostatic chargesgenerally occursjltltiring the worlging of ithe fibers in the textile m ills', where through repeated friction of the fibers, filaments or yarns with one another and with the equipment, these electrostatic charges accumulate and seriously interferewith the spinning, drawing, twisting, weaving and knitting operations. These charges can also be wheren isia small whole number of troml to 6 and R is selected from the groupconsisting of hydrogen atoms and normal alkyl radicals of, from 8 to 18 carbon atoms and ,wherein on the average one half of the Rs of themixture are normal alkyl radicals and the other half are hydrogenatomsg These phosphate esters result from thereaction ofil moles of,alcohol ormixture ofalcohols, with one mole of phosphoric :anhydride. In thejcor'nposition obtained,-
about 75, to 100 ;wt. percent of the phosphorus; is connected through an oxygen linkage to another phosphorus atom, as shown-by titrationwith' a standardalkali solu tion both. beforerandjafter, hydrolysis witht water. It

annoying and troublesomewhen fabrics made from these hydrophobic textile fibers are in service in the form of carpets, drapes, clothing and automobile seat covers.
, Although the, general ideaof treating textile fibers with agent-is by jno.-means a simple one.
bricants,*sizes and other. agents commonly applied to It must allowgproper running tensions of filament during drawing andgtwisting operations. It must be non-corrosive to theappa'r'atus in which. the fiber will be worked; and it .mustbenon-toxic and have no the ultimate wearer.
These compositions arereadily soluble in alcohol and are soluble or self -dispersible in water. Consequently, they can be applied to fibers from either medium with the most common and preferred method of application-being padding from a dilute aqueous solution or dispersion.
They can also-be applied byvspraying or from rollers which are in contact with the fibersjat ionepoint and the treat- *ing.bath at another. 5, r
, The following examples willabetter illustrate thenature of thepresentwinvention; however, the invention isinot intended to;be.li'mited to theseeexamplesp Parts turewhose composition is-approximately 3% n-decanol,
61% .n-dodecanol 23% r -tetradecanol, 1l% hexadecanol and 2% octadecanol, there was added 142 parts of phosphorieanhydride at a rate such that the tempera;
tiire of the well-agitated charge was maintained at 7S"- 80 1C, while, the "reactor jacket temperature \')va's. held 1 between g40 and 7O 'C."' The reactionnias' was then cellulosic textile fiber v impregnated with an antistatic;
agent. A still further object is to provide a process for impregnating a hydrophobic non-cellulosic. textile fiber,

be defined broadly as amine salts of mixturesof alkyl esters of pentavalent phosphorus acids or acid anhydrides,
wherein the amine portion is an alkanol amine, more specifically diethanol amine. These mixtures of alkyl esters of pentavalent phosphorus acids or acid anhydrides may be represented by' the following' general formula:
phosphorous oxygen-phosphorus bonds. 7 ,v The main body of the intermediate was} added with stirred 'tor twelve hoursat C. Theacidiniimber of the productat this point was 227 and 23 mole, ;percent of the total tit atabl'e acidic constituents was shown by potentiometric titration, to bejdibasic. [A srnall 'samplei p y; of this intermediate was reacted with watenfor iseveral injurious dermatological effects upon the worker or upon hours at about 8'0 C. and the acid number rose'to 355 and the mole percent of the total titratable acidicjcon stituents titratin'g as dibasic rose to 81.6, showingv the presence, in the above described'intermediate priorto reaction with water, of a'high proportion of unreacted agitation at temperatures not exceeding 80?

The evaluation of the antistatic quality of the treatc d In a manner similarto that described in Example I, a product was made in which the higher alcohol used was @260, arts of n-octanol. fIhisaproduct, after-neutralize tion with anamount of diethanolamine to give: pH 7.0-7.5. of a 10% aqueous solution, was soluble in water. a,
fiber'particula'rly when in fabric form was carried out essentially as follows:
A small piece of hydrophobic fabric (approximately cm. 3 cm.) is immersed for 30 sec. in approximately 100 cc; of'an-aqpeoussol-ution or a 95%- ethanol solutionor the antistatic agent'containing'a'knownamount of' the agent. The fabric 'is removed,"-a-ir-dried, and weighed again to provide a 'ba-sis'for -calculating the-pick-up of ant-i-staticagent. i r
The electrical resistance of the strip is measured-at a controlled relative humidity of 25% on a special apparatns which comprises two electrodes separated by a space of 1. 25 cmjandhaving a potential difference of 90 volts. The fabric is held in place between the electrodes so as to provide a conducting area 1.25 cm. long and Resistance: 1: A ti-static rating The rating of the untreated control in the noncellulosic,
hydrophobic fibers herein discussedis usually nil.
Each agent whose preparation is described in Examples 1 to 3 'was applied separately to tafetta fabrics of nylon, Orion acrylic fiber and Dacron-polyester fiber by padding from. a dilute aqueous solution or dispersion. This was done by padding for approximately 30 seconds in 250 parts by weight of water containing 1 part by weight of the antistatic agent. Afterw ringing and air drying toactive-ingredient loadings of about-0.5% dry weight based on theweights of the fabrics, the following results were obtained (electrical resistance of the treated fabrics was measured by the above described method):

Astor the chemical uaturewof the fiber to be treated, this. invention is operable on. anything which has. a tend: 1 ericy to accumulate an electrostatic charge- The. preferredmaterials. the textilefiber s. field. are polyamides V (e. g., nylon), polyesters (e. g., polyethylene terephthalate)- and pol-yacry-lics (e. g-., polyacrylonitrile}; These can be in the form of fibers, filaments, yarn or fabrics. The present invention is particularly useful in the automobile seat cover trade, since these seat covers are often made of nylon and other hydrophobic materials and they have a great tendency to accumulate an electrostatic charge.
As many "apparentlywidely different embodiments of this invention may be made without departingfrom the spirit andscope thereof,'it is to. be understood that this invention is not limited to the" specific embodiments thereof except as defined in the appendedclaims.

4 Hydrophobic, non-cellulosic textile fiber having incorporated therein'from 0.1 to 1% by weight of an antistatic agent, the latter being a mixture of di-ethanolamine selected from the group, consisting of hydrogen atoms salts of phosphate esters which are produced by the reacv tion of phosphoric anhydride with an alcohol mixture comprising approximately 3% n-decanolg 61% n-dodecanol, 23% n-tetradecanol, 11% hexadecanol and 2% octadecanol, saidphosphate esters having the following general formula RO n-l OR wherein n is a small whole number from 1 to 6 and R is and normal aliphatic hydrocarbon radicals of from 10 to 18 carbon atoms and wherein on the average one-half of the Rs in the mixture are hydrogen atoms.
5. Process of improving the electrostatic qualities of hydrophobic, non-cellulosic textile fiber which comprises impregnating the same with a mixture of alkanol amine salts of phosphate esters of the general formula wherein n is a small whole number of from 1 to 6 and R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen atoms and normal, aliphatic hydrocarbon radicals of from 8 to 18 carbon atoms and wherein on the average one-half of the Rs in the mixture are hydrogen atoms,
6. Process of improving the electrostatic qualities of hydrophobic, non-cellulosic textile fiber which comprises impregnating the same by padding from a dilute aqueous dispersion with a mixture of diethanolamine salts of phosphate esters of the general formula P O --P O P R--0 8 11-1 OR References Cited in the file of this patent UNITED STATES PATENTS 2,676,122 McCarthy Apr. 20, 1954 2,676,924 Fortess et a1.
