Abstract:
A textile lubricant having enhanced sling resistance consisting essentially of:(I) from 30-97 wt % of water-insoluble smoothing agents selected from the group consisting of mineral oils; carboxylic acid esters prepared from aliphatic carboxylic acids with 8-22 C atoms and straight and branched chain, optionally alkoxylated, alkyl alcohols with 1-22 C atoms; silicones; and polyalkylene glycols;(II) from 0.001-2 wt % of a component selected from polymers that have limiting viscosities, measured in tetrahydrofuran at 20.degree. C., of at least about 200 mL/g and that can be made by addition polymerization of a mixture of monomers selected from the group consisting of:A. from 100--about 30 wt % of esters of acrylic acid and methacrylic acid with monohydric saturated aliphatic alcohols which contain from 1-22 C atoms; andB. up to about 70 wt % of monomers selected from the group consisting of:(1) unsaturated aliphatic carboxylic acids with 3-5 C atoms and their amides,(2) styrene and alkylstyrenes with 1-4 C atoms in their alkyl residues,(3) acrylonitrile,(4) vinyl esters of aliphatic C.sub.1-18 carboxylic acids, and(5) amino substituted esters of acrylic acid and methacrylic acid with monohydric alcohols having from 2-6 carbon atoms;(III) from 0.5-69.997 wt % of a component selected from the group consisting of water-soluble smoothing agents selected from the group consisting of carboxylic acid esters prepared from aliphatic carboxylic acids with 8-22 C atoms and straight and branched chain, optionally alkoxylated, alkyl alcohols with 1-22 C atoms; and polyalkylene glycols, anionic, cationic, and nonionic surfactants, pH regulators, thread closing agents, bactericides, and anticorrosives; and(IV) from 0.0015-67 wt % water.
