Claims
- 1. A method for applying a low soil secondary finish to synthetic fibers comprising treating spun fibers with a coating effective quantity of a composition comprising a dry waxy component solid at room temperature selected from at least one compound from the group consisting of
- A) a block copolymer of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide;
- B) the reaction product of a C.sub.8-30 saturated fatty amine or a phenol with from 2 to 250 moles of ethylene oxide, and
- C) a C.sub.8-22 fatty acid ester.
- 2. The method of claim 1 wherein the dry waxy component consists of at least one component A).
- 3. The method of claim 2 wherein component A) is an EO-PO-EO block copolymer, a PO-EO-PO block copolymer, or a mixture thereof.
- 4. The method of claim 1 wherein the dry waxy component consists of at least one component B).
- 5. The method of claim 4 wherein component B) is selected from the group consisting of POE (150) dinonyl phenol, POE (150) nonyl phenol, and POE (2) hydrogenated tallow amine.
- 6. The method of claim 1 wherein the dry waxy component consists of at least one component C).
- 7. The method of claim 6 wherein component C) is selected from the group consisting of POE (200) castor oil, POE (200) hydrogenated castor oil, sorbitan monopalmitate, POE (16) sorbitan tristearate, ethyleneglycol distearate, and cetyl palmitate.
