Abstract
A method of treating a surface, e.g. carpet, gramophone record, to reduce the static charging thereon which comprises applying a novel antistatic composition comprising a fluorinated anionic surfactant which is an amine salt of an acid containing a fluorinated organic radical and an antistatic agent which is an ionic salt of an amine, preferably in alcoholic solution.
Claims30
An antistatic composition comprising a mixture of (1) a fluorinated anionic surfactant, which surfactant is an amine salt of an acid containing a fluorinated organic radical, with (2) an antistatic agent, which agent is an ionic salt of an amine and an acid without a fluorinated organic radical wherein the anion molar % of the fluorinated organic radical is between 1.8% and 42.9% of the mixture.
