  • Patent number: 4257924
    Abstract: An anti-static compound comprising a complex thermoset combination of a cationic surfactant containing from 8 to 22 carbon atoms, an essential oil and a glycol. Heating a mixture of the cationic surfactant, essential oil and glycol results in a composition wherein the oil bonds directly to the cationic compound with a resinous effect, surrounding the cationic charged particles, thereby prolonging discharge capability. The composition may be applied directly to the surface of materials to be anti-statically treated, or combined with detergents or shampoos to impart the treatment during normal washing, or included in certain polymers during manufacture of the synthetic fibers prior to extrusion. The composition of the invention acts as an anti-static agent possessing increased effectiveness, stability and longevity.
