Abstract
Abstract It has been suggested that certain polyglycol ethers, in particular mixed polyoxyethylated-polyoxypropylated monoethers, are useful as spin finishes in the production of polyester tire yarns. Polyglycol ethers having a relatively low molecular weight of about 300 to 1,000 make the best lubricants; however, their effectiveness is significantly diminished by volatilization loss during high temperature processing of the tire yarn. It has now been found that said volatilization loss is greatly decreased by including in the finish a small percentage of certain antioxidant compounds. The particular antioxidant compound used has been found to be very critical.

A finish composition for yarn consisting essentially of about 0.5 to 3 parts by weight of an antioxidant compound having the formula: ##STR4## and about 97 to 99.5 parts by weight of a polyalkylene glycol compound which is a mixed polyoxyethylatedpolyoxypropylated monoether prepared in accordance with the equation ##STR5## where R is an alkyl group having 3 to 5 carbon atoms, x and y are the number of moles of propylene oxide and ethylene oxide, respectively, and wherein ethylene oxide comprises 40 to 60 percent of the combined total of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide and x + y has a value to produce a molecular weight of from 300 to 1,000.
