Abstract
Abstract A crimped fiber tow for stuffing purposes containing an ionic antistatic agent, at least one conditioning agent consisting essentially of a methyl hydrogeno polysiloxane, an alpha, omega hydroxy dimethyl polysiloxane, an emulsifier for the polysiloxanes, an Sn (II) salt of a fatty acid and high molecular weight polyethylene. The stuffing fibers are distinguished by the same soft and smooth feel as known from downs; they are more over easily displaceable one against the other and resume their bulkiness by being shaken up. The fiber tow and the fiber are therefore excellently suitable for stuffing cushions, quilts and upholstery goods.
