A method for applying a low soil finish to spun synthetic textile fibers comprising applying to the spun fibers a low soil finish composition containing a dry, waxy solid component which comprises one or more of the following:

Process for applying a low soiling fiber finish

A composition and process for reducing the amount of smoke generated at elevated temperatures when applying a fiber finish composition to fibers. The addition of certain antioxidants to a fiber lubricant composition containing oxa-acids or oxa-acid esters substantially reduces the development of smoke at temperatures from 170.degree. C. to 200.degree. C.

Smoke reduction of fiber lubricants

A method for applying a low soil finish to spun synthetic textile fibers comprising applying to the spun fibers a low soil finish composition containing a dry, waxy solid component which comprises one or more of the following: A) a bisamide of the formula ##STR1## wherein R and R' can be the same or different and are straight or branched alkyl groups having from 7 to 19 carbon atoms, R' is a C.sub.2 -C.sub.4 linear alkyl group, and x is an integer of from 0 to 5; B) a block copolymer of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide; pa C) the reaction product of a C.sub.8-20 saturated fatty alcohol, a C.sub.8-20 saturated fatty amine, or a phenol, with from 2 to 250 moles of ethylene oxide, and D) a C.sub.8-22 fatty acid ester.

Process for applying an antistatic finish to synthetic fibers comprising of steps of applying to the fibers to be treated a composition comprising at least one salt of a phosphate partial ester containing a C.sub.12 straight chain alkyl group, a lubricant, and an anionic and/or cationic emulsifier; and autoclaving the treated fibers at a temperature in the range of from about 93.degree. to 150.degree. F.

Process for treating fibers with an antistatic finish

Thermally stable textile lubricants suitable for spinning finishes based on polyol fatty acid esters, into which esters of thiocarboxylic acids corresponding to general formula (I) and/or (II):

Thermally stable textile lubricants

Process for applying an antistatic finish to synthetic fibers having at least 10 denier per filament comprising of steps of applying to the fibers to be treated a composition comprising at least one salt of a phosphate partial ester containing a C.sub.12 straight chain alkyl group, a lubricant, and an anionic and/or cationic emulsifier; and autoclaving the treated fibers at a temperature in the range of from about 93.degree. to 150.degree. F. The invention also relates to the synthetic fibers so treated.
