Abstract:
A MELT-POLYMERIZED POLYAMIDE COMPOSITION DERIVED FROM 85 TO 100 MOL PERCENT IN TOTAL OF A DIAMINE AND A METHYL-SUBSTITUTED PHTHALIC ACID SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF METHYLTEREPHTHALIC ACID AND METHYLISOPHTHALIC ACID, 15 TO 0 MOL PERCENT OF A COMONOMER SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF DICARBOXYLIC ACIDS OTHER THAN THE METHYL-SUBSTITUTED PHTHALIC ACID, AMINOCARBOXYLIC ACIDS AND LACTAMS THEREOF, AND A REDUCING PHOSPHORUS ACID COMPOUND.
Abstract:
Polyamide compositions having excellent melt-spinnability and durable antistatic property, while fully retaining the favorable properties inherent in polyamides, which comprises a polyamide containing as an antistatic agent one which comprises (A) a polyalkylene oxide-added secondary alkylamine and (B) a polyalkylene oxide-added tertiary alkylamine, the secondary alkylamine (A) occupying 5 - 50 percent by weight based on the sum weight the above compounds (A) and (B), and the antistatic agent being incorporated in an amount of 1 - 15 percent by weight based on the weight of the polyamide.
