Abstract
Abstract Dispersions and process for their incorporation with a synthetic fiber-forming polymer are provided. The dispersions comprise a polymer additive, such as titanium dioxide, and a carrier of either a C5-C26 fatty acid ester of pentaerythritol or a C5-C26 fatty acid ester of dipentaerythritol.
