Abstract
Abstract An improved antistatic polyamide fiber is prepared by incorporating in the fiber about 1 to 12 percent by weight of a chain-extended propylene oxide-ethylene oxide copolymer based on ethylene diamine and about 0.5 to 8 percent by weight of a phenol compound represented by the formula: WHERE R1 is hydrogen or an alkyl radical containing 1 to 12 carbon atoms, R2 is an alkyl radical containing 4 to 18 carbon atoms, and R3 is an alkyl radical containing 4 to 18 carbon atoms. The preferred chain-extending agent is dimethyl terephthalate.
