Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a sewing thread treatment agent, and a sewing thread, each achieving low friction properties across a wide range of sewing speeds. As a solution, a sewing thread treatment agent is provided, which is characterized in that it contains a hydroxy-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (A), a nonionic surfactant (B), and at least one type of wax (C) selected from paraffin wax, oxidized paraffin wax, polyethylene wax, oxidized polyethylene wax, and carnauba wax.
Claims4
A sewing thread treatment agent characterized by containing a hydroxy-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (A), a nonionic surfactant (B), and at least one wax (C) selected from paraffin wax, oxidized paraffin wax, polyethylene wax, oxidized polyethylene wax, and carnauba wax,
- wherein the nonionic surfactant (B) contains:
- a (poly)oxyalkylene branched alkyl ether (B1) obtained by adding an alkylene oxide having 2 to 4 carbon atoms to a hydroxy compound having a branched alkyl chain having 6 to 20 carbon atoms in its molecule, at a ratio of 1 to 30 mols per 1 mol of the hydroxy compound;
- and a (poly)oxyalkylene straight-chain alkyl ether (B2).
