Abstract
Process for applying an antistatic finish to synthetic fibers having at least 10 denier per filament comprising of steps of applying to the fibers to be treated a composition comprising at least one salt of a phosphate partial ester containing a C.sub.12 straight chain alkyl group, a lubricant, and an anionic and/or cationic emulsifier; and autoclaving the treated fibers at a temperature in the range of from about 93.degree. to 150.degree. F. The invention also relates to the synthetic fibers so treated.
